US and British nuclear submarine crews should have gotten the Nobel Peace Prize instead of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons

Stupid
No just plain stupid.
[sarcasm]We should nuke North Korea and Iran. Then we have reduced our arsenal and prevented two other countries from getting nukes. We win the prize! [end sarcasm]
Fundamentally the article is ridiculing the award of the Nobel Peace prize to an organization that does nothing. If it was not awarded I doubt he would have made the comparison.
"The Norwegian Nobel Committee sees things differently. Announcing their decision to award ICAN, Friday, they stated that "It is the firm conviction of the Norwegian Nobel Committee that ICAN, more than anyone else, has in the past year given the efforts to achieve a world without nuclear weapons a new direction and new vigor." ICAN's director, Beatrice Fihn, claimed that the award proves ICAN's push for a United Nations ban on nuclear weapons is "needed and appreciated."
Nobel and its ICAN awardee have noble ambitions, but they are delusional."

these are the same people who awarded a Nobel Prize to a former POTUS because hopefully he might do something someday which would justify the prize,...

Correction please- [hitler]
Godwin's Law The theory that as an online discussion progresses, it becomes inevitable that someone or something will eventually be compared to Adolf Hitler or the Nazis, regardless of the original topic:
Citation of fact is not a comparison [salute]
I was going to say if Hitler was awarded the prize then the law might not apply, however he wasn't.
