Do you really think this recipient isn’t deserving?

I think you’ll find that the peace prize has been political for a very long time.

The giving of it to Kissinger is going to be hard to beat.

Yes. What is the concrete achievement being celebrated here? Especially regarding to doing "the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses"? [1]

I broadly agree with both of your points here. Perhaps in an ideal word, nobody would have cared about the prize. But at least we can try to shame them for making ridiculous choices.
