Pakistan has formally recommended US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his “decisive diplomatic intervention” after a spike in violence between India and Pakistan earlier this year.
If he were to bomb a nuclear facility in Stockholm that then experienced a catastrophic meltdown, but for some reason the residents supported the action against them, would it be called the China Stockholm Syndrome?
While the antipodes of China include Argentina with its Atucha Nuclear Power Plant the phrasing is metaphorical; there is no way a core could penetrate the several-kilometer thickness of the Earth’s crust, and even if it did melt to the center of the Earth, it would not travel back upwards against the pull of gravity. Moreover, any tunnel behind the material would be closed by immense lithostatic pressure.
I could try to weasel myself out of this by saying I was emulating Trumps knowledge and attention to detail… but yeah, didn’t know that, thanks for correcting!
Two neighboring countries with a deeply entwined history and the prize is named after a Swede who lived his entire life with them being The united kingdoms of Sweden and Norway
I’d be with you if someone guessed it was Hungarians or even Finns deciding who’ gets the Nobel prize, but like it’s a reasonable guess that the prize named after a famously Swedish inventor is decided in Sweden and not Norway. Also it looks like the other 5 are in Sweden.
Yeah, now that the USA attacked in (yet another) UN violating war, those Swedish nerds really have to give it to him. Or his feelings will be hurt.
He’s going to bomb Stockholm next.

You need to explain that “China” part in there for me. I understand the Stockholm part of the joke, but not the other one.
