Though I dont trust this guy but he just said the bitter truth. grin

Its been a long time that a silent country treated US fxck up
When you realize Europeans are cowards
Trump has won the war in Iran
Simple
A glory without the entire Europe but with a tiny Isreal.
They are deep down bitter about it.
They can't project power anywhere else in the world again
Thats the long term effect for the Europeans

Just like Nigeria's Tinubu is frustrating Nigerians, especially the "common man"
They always have a way to link Tinubu with stewpîd comment when the post has nothing to do with Tinubu. Tinubu is living rent free for una head.

Why are you crying more than the bereaved?

Diplomacy?

Which diplomacy are you talking about?

You mean the same diplomacy that achieved a concrete deal between America and Iran before Trump came in and tore it apart?

Or is it the same diplomacy that America and Iran were exploring since last year before Trump decided to unilaterally bomb Iran?

The Orange Bvffoon at the White House thought Iran was another Venezuela and now he's stuck.
Don't dwell on the leaders, dwell on the masses. Americans are living comfortably atm. Can't say the same about Iranians.
If this was happening in Nigeria, you'll be begging for Tinubu to come and sit on a round table

The Iranians are “obviously negotiating very skillfully” and “clearly stronger than one thought,”Merz added.
He is clearly being clever by half.
It is the whole west that is humilating itself by launching an unprovoked war on Iran under the pretext that Iran is building nuclear weapon, same despicable format they used to destroy Iraq.

Nobody is stupid except those who fall for your deception.



Only Spain stayed away by denying US of military parts, bases and even her airspace.

Germany and others are actively supporting the evil agression on Iran war at the backend sir.
Always spewing gibberish! The US and Iran attacked Iran and you are calling the whole of the West when trump didn't even inform his own country and America allies.

Sunnyshinylight:
This take is emotionally satisfying, but it is strategically shallow.

Calling the US “humiliated” because talks are stalling ignores how high-level geopolitics actually works. Stalemates are not signs of weakness by default, they are often deliberate pressure points. The US is not negotiating from desperation, it is negotiating from layered leverage, military, economic, and diplomatic.

Let’s break the reality:

- Iran is under sustained economic pressure, sanctions are still biting hard.
- Its currency instability and internal strain are not signs of a country “winning.”
- Engaging Russia is not strength, it is dependency shifting.

Now contrast that with the US:

- It controls the global financial system backbone.
- It has unmatched naval dominance, especially around critical routes like the Strait of Hormuz.
- Its alliances, even when noisy, still outweigh Iran’s network.

Germany complaining is not a fracture, it is normal alliance friction. Western partners disagree publicly all the time, but when it matters, they align structurally. That has been proven repeatedly.

Also, “talks stalling” does not mean the US is losing control. In many cases, it means the US is tightening conditions and refusing to concede. Diplomacy is not about speed, it is about outcome.

People keep making the same analytical mistake:
They confuse resistance with strength, and noise with power.

Iran resisting does not automatically mean it is dictating terms. It simply means it has fewer options and is stretching its position as far as possible.

If anything, prolonged negotiations favor the US more, because time amplifies economic pressure, not military theatrics.

So no, this is not humiliation.
This is strategic patience playing out in real time.
You must be chanting Trump's name before you go to sleep.

Big fallacy, if not strait of hormuz that iran is using as an leverage by now, iranian government would been overthrown
It is not, and definitely not a leverage. Iran won a war.


Iran's weapons are potent enough to force her enemies out of the strait. If Iran had no weapons of war, its enemies would have taken over the whole country like Trump did in Venezuela.

You are completely wrong here.

Trump did not seek the opinion of NATO member when he embarked on this war. He did so unilaterally. Even the US military high ups counselled Trump against the war,that it would come with catastrophic consequences.

Though most of these nations are not keen on Iran gaining nuclear weapons, they also understand the damage starting a war with Iran would cause.

If countries have not been so criticalof the US war, it is because it could be counterproductive. Trump would pummel any country not support8ng him with sanctions or any other form of punishment. So, countries have chosen to stay mum rather than an open confrontation with Trump.

Iran has been relatively chill with NATO member states.

pls tell us how Iran is treating US Bleep. Is it in the following ways ?
Ayatollah and scores of IRGC Commanders dead
Iran's naval fleet completely obliterarted
iran's Air force obliterated
US naval blockade on the Strait of Homuz is making Iran to lose 500million dollars per day
US does not use the strait of Homuz.
US has intercepted close to forty ships attending to gain access to Iran's port while capturing Iran's ship
just today, it was reported over bthe media how US froze 433M USD in crypto currency

Could it be that you don't understand the sentence Treating someone's Bleep up ?

IRGC is saying do any how see any how. Trump broke Obama's pact with Iran because of racism.

After trying to arrest Obama and failing you are now trying to destroy his works.

Shame on trump.
Their anyhow have led to death of the inferior leader Ayotallah and numerous of the IRGC members, the son has gone into hiding with only one leg. Iranian access to their own water ways have been blockaded by US naval fleets.

You didn't answer my question why can't America started the blockade when the war was ranging. Infact their almighty armada fled the strait Hormuz to indian ocean.

So let the war will restart again but Iran wouldn't like to restart it but eventually it will happen if US continue like this because they are shuning their yeye negotiation. Again is not sustainable for US to continue the blockade for long they will eventually pack the thing and leave.

Dude, the blockade is more than a war! They’re literally suffocating Iran. Nothing goes in, nothing comes out. Iran can’t do shit about it. They won’t last for more tha two weeks under these conditions
