Well, this makes more sense than the “Physics” one beings awarded to AI researchers.

I think it’s a message or a warning to all ongoing conflicts “look at what damage a nuclear war can cause”, without actually taking a stand in any conflict.

When I was a child, my grandmother told me that she had seen the mushroom cloud from the atomic bomb that fell on Hiroshima.
I also learned in my education as a primary school, junior high school and high school student about how much the survivors suffered, so I think this organization deserves to win an award.
I want the weapons that killed so many of my countrymen to disappear quickly, but I know that will be difficult.

giving the Peace Nobel prize to a member of the Axis over something that happened in WW2 is certainly a choice, specially when Japan never really apologized for most of the things they did
izoxUA on
not a bad choice, considering who was nominated

What if.

The peaceful Japanese people totally deserve the peace prize! Just could someone please remind me why they got bombed in the first place??

Ok, I get it, but can I also say that I feel this is really stupid?
I don’t think the Nobel prize will be seen as valuable going in this direction, especially after the Physics prize.

They should have given the price to the crew of Enola Gay instead.

Remove nukes from everybody and its WW3
The only reason there is peace is because nukes exist

Huh?

That’s gonna make a lot of Americans furious. The prevailing opinion of online commenters seems to be that the Japanese should be grateful for the dropping of the nuclear bombs. They consider it a humanitarian act that was chosen purely out of compassion.

Good for them. Unfortunately, we have countries such as Russia rattling the nuclear saber now. And, there’s risk Iran will acquire nuclear weapons. I hope the taboo holds.

The west is shitting on Asian WW2 victim countries like China, South Korea and other southeast Asian countries again. I wonder if they dare to give the peace prize to some German civilian victim societies (if there is any)

Gee, this comment section….
Please “zoom out”! This award does not support the general goals at the time of the country which was affected by the bombings nor does it question the justification (or the lack thereof) of the country which used those weapons.
Please “zoom in”! This award recognizes the tremendous suffering of those affected by nuclear weapons and the overarching immediate and long-term effects on humanity of a possible nuclear exchange.
At a time when irresponsible morons make nuclear threats regarding imaginary “red lines” almost on a weekly basis, reminding us all of the risks and costs by awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to an organization dedicated to eliminating such risks is a good a cause as any promoted by this award.
