Niels Bohr famously dissolved the medal he got for his Nobel Price for chemistry in acid when the Nazis invaded his home country of Denmark, to prevent it from falling into the Nazis' hands.

Unlike him, the most recent recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize of all things, who shall not be named here, because she doesn't deserve being named, handed her medal to a deranged megalomaniac and fascist wannabe dictator.

Of course a megalomaniac fascist dictator doesn't bother to ask before sticking his dick somewhere. But that's just a danger to a few individuals, while him being a deranged dictator in a country that is a nuclear superpower is a danger to all life on the entire planet.
