"The peace prize is a totem of the rules-based international order that governed the world for 80 years until Trump returned to office in January. Handing it to the man who’s overseeing that order’s destruction would be a bit like awarding the Nobel Prize in medicine to Robert F. Kennedy Jr."

“According to Jesus, the only way to resist the downward cycle of violence is by refusing to mirror the violent injustices of the world, because violence only begets more violence. It must never be used to resist evil but instead must be borne and suffered (Romans 12:21; 1 Peter 5:6–11).”
