It’s being widely reported this morning that Hillary Clinton said she’d nominate President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if he ended the war in Ukraine.
And while that’s true, she did include a significant caveat:
NY POST – Trump’s failed Democratic opponent told the “Raging Moderates” podcast that she would willingly nominate him for the illustrious prize if he could bring an end to the war in Ukraine without allowing President Vladimir Putin to take territory from its neighbor.
“Honestly, if he could bring about the end to this terrible war, if he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor, could really stand up to Putin — something we haven’t seen, but maybe this is the opportunity — if President Trump were the architect of that, I’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize,” Clinton told podcast interviewer Jessica Tarlov in an interview released Friday.
“Because my goal here is to not allow capitulation to Putin,” she added.
Did you catch it? She said “without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor.”
Yeah, that’s not going to happen. Putin will not give up the eastern part of Ukraine that he’s already taken, as well as Crimea.
So don’t believe the headlines you read, at least without reading further. That’s always a good rule of thumb, especially in this case.
