yeah.
Someone may want to enlighten Pres Trump of the deeds that should be performed in order to even be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Hint: for starters, maybe learn to spell it correctly when you post about it on social media?

Stalin knew that it was close, Hitler could have defeated the Soviet Union and taken Moscow...so to make sure such a thing never happened again, he turned Eastern Europe into a prison, so of course Gorbachev did a good thing by ending that system of Russian control of so many millions of people.
