Peace Prize winner demands more war

Of course she does! The Peace Prize winner is none other than Anne Applebaum, professional Putin critic and wife of Poland’s rabidly Russophobic foreign minister. The peace prize she won came from the German Booksellers Association, not the Nobel committee, so I think this story is maybe a bit of an oversell. Nevertheless, it’s interesting that you can gather a group of German elites who applaud the concept of war with Russia. These are the same people who can’t figure out why the “far right” is on the rise. Every anti-war party in Europe is automatically branded “far right.” That way the elites and their subservient media can dismiss them out of hand. They overlook the underlying reality that war fever among the voters of Europe was never acute and is fading fast. Obviously, that can only lead to more “far right” election victories. That’s why the same German elite who applaud the warmongering Applebaum are keen to outlaw the AfD. After all, you can’t have all those far-right Putin-appeasing voters hi-jacking democracy.
