You can't.

How can you expect Donald Trump to change strategy to something that actually makes sense in Iran if he thinks that everything is going amazing?

What's our exit plan?

And that was basically the point that Friedrich Merz, the chancellor of Germany, was making the other day when he said the United States has been humiliated by Iran.

been utterly, utterly humiliated by Iran right now.

The first thing he did was threaten to remove any sort of U.S.

defenses, any sort of U.S.

troop presence from Germany.
