  1. Call me crazy, but I would think you’d want to give this more than “*21 hours*” to come to some kind of agreement.

    Honestly, I doubt the USA went into these talks wanting to do nothing but walk out in “*21 hours*” claiming no deal can be reached.

    They can’t give an entire day for peace negotiations, but the bozos in charge here want to change the course of an ‘entire civilization’ in less than 5 minutes.

    What an ***embarrassment.***

  2. We dragged out nearly 20 years in Afghanistan because the US basically has two choices: back down and appear weak or spend the next 20 years terrorizing a nation and then handing over the baton to the Taliban. Are we going to repeat this?

    I can’t make sense of this shit anymore. The only explanation I still have is complete incompetence.

    You threaten to wipe out a civilization, calling them crazy bastards, basically completely losing your shit on social media, then you take a step back to enter negotiations to then end them on day 1? What?

    History will forever remember the FIFA peace laureate who ensured the lasting peace that lasted about a day, if that.

    How much tax payer money was used? This could have just been a teams call lmfao

    Honestly maybe its best to keep the US and Trumps hands tied with Iran. You KNOW if the war ends they will move on to something possibly more fucked up and more devastating.

  7. Remember, it’s not just trump. He’s been given carte blanche by every sitting Republican since his first term.

    “I’ll take some Straight of Hormuz… some no nuclear weapons… whatever makes sense.”

  9. Can’t imagine Vance went in with a viable proposal. More accept whatever we tell you to do and “have you said thank you, yet?” They are full of hubris and bullshit.

    It is not in Iran’s best interests to settle this quickly. If the US wants this to go away, we are going to have to give up something we don’t want to give up.

    There is no other way out of this.

  11. Seriously how can Iran even negotiate with us in good faith? Trump tore up Obamas deal, and then also started this during the last round of negotiations. Im in no way in support of the regime but I dont see how they trust the trump regime either.

  12. This failure is totally on Vance’s shoulders. He obviously did not read dear leaders manifesto, “Art of the Deal” with enough fervor and devotion as it contains all the teachings necessary to resolve this conflict. He should be purged to make room for a more capable VP.

    Why would Iran believe anything America says? America should have never attacked in first place! Would you trust America after this!!?

    That’s why Vance was sent, so he could take the fall when the Master Dealmaker’s famous skills went nowhere. Get used to this, it’ll be going on for the rest of the term.

    Well yeah, we sent a dude that fucks couches to try and negotiate a peace treaty on behalf of a president who rapes women and children. I can’t imagine why it would go poorly

    When Obama left office the strait was open and toll free. And the US had a nuclear agreement with Iran.

    The art of the deal in action.

    Why would Iran even want to negotiate now? Our current president just handed them control of the strait of hormuz, they’re in the catbird seat now. He screwed every other country that depends on it, from the GCC producers to india/china/japan/sk who are the main buyers. They’re all forced to deal with the mullahs now. And none of it had to happen, we had a strong nuclear deal with them until he tore it up.

  18. I have an uncanny feeling they did not go into this with true diplomatic intentions to want to end this war.

  19. DefinitelyIncorrect on

    So we’re just back to threatening to kill everyone for lower gas prices?

    Remember when we had a nuclear deal for something you can detect from thousands of miles away?

    It’s funny how the dumbest president thinks everyone else is so dumb.

  20. If Vance is planning on a ‘28 run, this won’t look good for him, not that any of his two-faced behavior would, but this is a rough one for ole’ couchy

  21. We have no cards in this game. It was the stupidest thing America has ever done. It ushers in the end of the American Century…and the beginning of the global dominance of China.

    The sent JD… a bag of Just Dinkies aint gonna get shit for progress unless its ruining the upholstery on the couch

    Do you think Iran sees that Trump was at a UFC event during all this? Literally couldn’t be bothered.

    Neither Trump nor Vance have any idea what negotiating means. They don’t know the steps involved, they don’t know the techniques, they don’t even know what the end purpose is. All they know is the imposition of their will over someone else’s, and that is not “negotiating”.
