German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is unusually critical of the US handling of the conflict with Iran, saying in an appearance that the Americans lack a clear strategy and that the country is now being ”humiliated” by Iran's leadership.
According to Friedrich Merz Iran has proved stronger and more resilient than Washington had anticipated. He also warned that the conflict risks turning into another protracted war, similar to the efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
- At the moment, I can't see what strategic exit the Americans are seeking, Merz told students at a school in Marsberg.
- Especially since the Iranians are obviously very good at negotiating, or perhaps very good at not negotiating, and let the Americans go to Islamabad only to send them home with nothing. A whole nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership, especially by the so-called Revolutionary Guard.
Supported the war first - but the economy is squeezing
Merz initially welcomed the US and Israeli attack on Iran and said Germany shared the goal of regime change.
But the supportive tone has since cooled as rising energy prices hit the already strained German economy.
The statement is also seen as a sign of growing rifts between the US and European allies. With even close partners publicly questioning Washington's line, it shows how quickly public opinion can shift when the reality of economic consequences catches up.
The Zionist lackey Trump has put himself in this position just to please his masters in Israel, he should have had a little more will of his own.
In politics, Trump has never had a will of his own. Always governed by ”Americans” with dual passports.
Mertz is a FITTA, as a true Liberal he is now turning his coat against the US, all of Europe has shown itself cowardly when Trump asked for some help, so I can understand that Trump will scrap NATO, which is only good I think, Sweden should never have joined in the first place, and then sign a DCA agreement, just proves what stupid politicians we have in Sweden.
If Trump is smart he will let Israel do the dirty work with Iran, i.e. use their nukes, and then they can't lean on the Holocaust themselves, think 2 birds with one stone!!!
Give the stubborn Persians on the head, so they fall silent in the nuclear clouds, and then there is only North Korea left of Satan's states
