Is there a Nobel prize in asslicking? If so, I think there could be a Pakistani nominee.

I believe this motion was seconded by a B-2 Spirit.
Yeah, now that the USA attacked in (yet another) UN violating war, those Swedish nerds really have to give it to him. Or his feelings will be hurt.
He's going to bomb Stockholm next.
If he were to bomb a nuclear facility in Stockholm that then experienced a catastrophic meltdown, but for some reason the residents supported the action against them, would it be called the China Stockholm Syndrome?
You need to explain that "China" part in there for me. I understand the Stockholm part of the joke, but not the other one.
While the antipodes of China include Argentina with its Atucha Nuclear Power Plant the phrasing is metaphorical; there is no way a core could penetrate the several-kilometer thickness of the Earth's crust, and even if it did melt to the center of the Earth, it would not travel back upwards against the pull of gravity. Moreover, any tunnel behind the material would be closed by immense lithostatic pressure.
Thanks xkcd! Wait, it's wikipedia???
Norwegian Nobel Committee is deciding over who gets the peace prize...
I could try to weasel myself out of this by saying I was emulating Trumps knowledge and attention to detail... but yeah, didn't know that, thanks for correcting!
"Two counties in Yurop, who cars."
Two neighboring countries with a deeply entwined history and the prize is named after a Swede who lived his entire life with them being The united kingdoms of Sweden and Norway
I'd be with you if someone guessed it was Hungarians or even Finns deciding who' gets the Nobel prize, but like it's a reasonable guess that the prize named after a famously Swedish inventor is decided in Sweden and not Norway. Also it looks like the other 5 are in Sweden.
I don't want to add a /s to every bullshit I write.
(Or when I try to guess what Trump would say)
Ok thats fair I was tired and I've seen people who get mad about such minor things on here lol
Samesies
Look daddy waddy twump. Us Pakistanis bend the knee pwease don't bomb us too uwu
Why do the west always refer to brown people as a whole but when it comes to them they always single out their leaders or would never use "Americans". Like there's 100s of comments on all these US bombed Iran posts and not one that referred to "Americans" but only trump. Anyways fuck Americans.
kinda feels like you're making that up tbh
An example is right above my comment. Lmao.
Pakistan is all brown people everywhere? Nobody criticizes America as a whole?
Mabey I'm crazy, I feel like doing any kind of war or war like activity means you are no longer peaceful.
Bigger asslickers supporting attack on Iran
Shit stain just took us into war for no reason. Don’t give him any peace prize.
Are they trolling?
'Stellar statesman'? I'd be ok with launching him into the Sun.
Appeasement
Give a second Nobel to Obama.
