Peace Accolades for Putin

What I found in the news
In "Vladimir Putin just Won an International Peace Prize", Bearak first summarized despite what he had done in the past few years, Putin was awarded of Hugo Chavez Price of peace and sovereignty. he also mentioned that Putin also had received Peace award from China.

My response
It kind of surprise me to know that Putin could win a Peace prize. Very well I don't know much about him but he seems to be a good leader. One of my friends really like him. When I ask her why, she said his method is decisive and bring prosperity into Russia. For me Russia is on a good term with China but not with the States which I think that's how it should be.

Last year however there was a conflict breaking out in Syria. This event reminds me of Cold War between US and Russia when they fought each other in foreign territories. So similar is that if it had not been for the scope of conflict that limits in a few countries, this would have been called Cold War II. This CWII also affect many other countries including Germany, France because these countries have to take refugee and bring a complication into their own countries.

Still I just wish that we would not have any war ever again.

  1. The good news is that, despite plenty of bad things still happening, the world is becoming more peaceful. There is much less war, murder and other other violence now than at any previous time in human history, and this progress seems most likely to continue as more nations develop and trade. Global trade and wealth creation, supported by the spread of democratic ideals, seem to be the best recipes of peace and prosperity.

    I suspect that Orwell's character Major would disagree with me. What do you think? Which view is right here? Mine or Major's?
