For Putin, a Peace Prize for a Decision to Go to War

The title seems to suggest the irony behind a Peace Prize that is awarded base on a decision to go to war – the article seems to start out by attempting to lay the foundation as to the suspicious, ironic state of the award criteria. Subsequently, the article noted the curious lack of coverage for the said award, bringing in credible accounts by the previous winner (a Taiwanese politician) and Putin’s spokesperson. The article seems to be questioning the legitimacy of the award by observing the lack of support from China’s Culture Ministry as well as comparisons with competing prizes of similar criteria.
