Known terrorist, thief, nut, and liar all got one. Why not Putin?

You know the prize is legitimate when Gandhi was nominated 5 times but never won.

If you gave it to Gandhi, then regional balance required that a certain Mr. Jinnah be given it too. (Google for him if you never heard of him). Else it is a world conspiracy against an innocent country that can not be named.

So, all you have to do to get nominated for a peace prize is take steps into turning your country back into a police state and sell advanced weapons to rouge nations.
