The Americans are getting mocked by Germany domestically and pressured by Iran to surrender externally. German Chancellor Merz publicly lambasted the septuagenarian, saying the Americans lack an exit strategy from the war, are being humiliated by Iran, and are causing Europe to bear the brunt of rising oil prices and economic damage, refusing to help the US foot the bill or send troops. Trump couldn't take the ridicule, exploded in fury, and directly threatened to pull 5,000 US troops out of Germany while imposing higher tariffs on cars, trying to use troop withdrawals as punishment for Germany. This hard-headed little guy is inadvertently pushing for European defense autonomy, smoothly transitioning into taking on security responsibilities.
Iran is ignoring the Americans' proposals and is now directly presenting 14 negotiation points, forcing the US to withdraw from the region, lift blockades, cancel sanctions, and compensate for losses, giving a hard ultimatum of 30 days, which essentially requires the US to admit defeat. The US has to choose between talking or fighting! That's why Trump said it's hard to imagine that this plan could be accepted!
The US has been fighting for two months, spending $25 billion, only to end up with an indefinite ceasefire, having achieved no strategic goals, instead exposing its overextended power and waning hegemony. The rift between the US and Germany and the standoff with Iran are essentially accelerating the restructuring of the old international order.
In this conflict, the US is not the winner; Russia is actually profiting from NATO's division and rising oil prices. China hasn’t benefited from this; instead, it's been affected by rising energy costs. Even if the US is reluctant, it has lost the ability to completely defeat Iran, and the future will only see it becoming more passive. However, there remains a possibility of military aggression, after all, an unstable old Biden can do anything! #特朗普称美国将引导受困船只通过霍尔木兹海峡
