***Looks like the peace talks are over***

[spanone]

I’m shocked since we sent our best negotiators.

Vance: But we just could not get to a situation where the Iranians were willing to accept our terms.
We weren't able to make any headway.

AP: US Vice President JD Vance says talks with Iran ended after 21 hours without reaching agreement

ISLAMABAD (AP) — U.S. Vice President JD Vance said negotiations ended early Sunday between the United States and Iran without a peace deal after the Iranians refused to accept American terms to not develop a nuclear weapon.

The high-stakes talks ended after 21 hours, Vance said, with the vice president in constant communication with U.S. President Donald Trump and others in the administration.

“But the simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon,” Vance told reporters. “That is the core goal of the president of the United States. And that’s what we’ve tried to achieve through these negotiations.”

The vice president said he spoke with Trump “a half dozen times, a dozen times, over the past 21 hours” and also spoke with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Adm. Brad Cooper, head of the United States Central Command.

[True Dough]

1. They opened a big ol' can of worms!

And now we'll all suffer more consequences. Complete shit show!

[Takket]

2. why isn't the great dealmaker drumpf personally handling this????????????

[Maru Kitteh]

6. Brain Spurs.

5 times over. The biggliest brain spurs like nobody has ever seen before.

[Bev54]

40. He is handling it, by phone, that is WHY they can not get a deal.

He has no idea how to do it. He only knows how to bully not how to negotiate.

[3Hotdogs]

46. Da fuck you talkin'? He's a great deal maker.

He even wrote a book about how to do it.

Why just last week, a message came from Iran headquarters through diplomatic channels. "Sir, we don't want to negotiate with you. We know we will lose out with any attempt to reach a deal. You're too good at it. Please send your son, Fredo to negotiate Or maybe Tommy Tuberville and we will happily begin negotiations. But Sir, you are too good at negotiating,."

"It was like when I negotiated the end of the conflict with Nicar ---or maybe it was Venezuela. Nobody had ever seen anything like it."

[Ocelot II]

3. Vance was probably his usual condescending dickish self and treated the Iranians

like he treated Zelenskyy, while Witkoff and Kushner just sat there smiling stupidly with their peckers in their hands.

[spanone]

5. It sounds like our way or the highway....so one meeting, eh?

[Red Mountain]

52. They negotiated for a whole 21 hours.

Worked REALLY hard.

Will probably have spent more time in the air getting there and back than negotiating.

[dalton99a]

35. +1

[chicoescuela]

43. That's quite a visual and probably very accurate.

[Skittles]

44. PREACH IT OCELOT II

yes INDEED

[BeneteauBum]

48. Yep

Peace ☮️

[underpants]

54. I think Jared and Witkoff were just there for the cameras

The Iranians were very clear that they wouldn’t talk to either of them. This seems to be Trump and J. V. having them there in a “YOU can’t tell ME what to do” kind of way.

[Scrivener7]

55. Of the 21 hours, I wonder how many were Vance critiquing their outfits.

[Takket]

4. country is in the middle of a war, and the president is at a UFC event, while the VP announced peace talks have failed

every time i think drumpf and the USA have hit rock bottom.......... another day happens

[leftstreet]

11. Does he go in the dressing room and grab em

by the... nevermind

[Skittles]

45. ADVICE FOR YOU TAKKET

there *IS* no low for repukes; they will always, ALWAYS find a way to go lower.....GUARANTEED

[yellow dahlia]

7. Being a diplomat is not a cosplay event.

Send in the experts and someone with the skill sets.

But no! They sent in the clowns.

[displacedvermoter]

8. DOGE saw to it that those experts with the

appropriate sets were canned early on in Trump 2.

[yellow dahlia]

14. So much talent, experience, and institutional memory lost.

[yellow dahlia]

31. Nothing efficient about what they did. It was destruction - plain and simple.

[AverageOldGuy]

20. " Send in the experts and someone with the skill sets. "

They were all fired a year ago.

[yellow dahlia]

32. Yup. So much dismantling and destruction.

[thought crime]

9. Bluster Diplomacy

It's hard to imagine a worse team of so-called "diplomats".

[leftstreet]

10. The US bombed Iran, but the US has "terms?"

LOL

[newdeal2]

22. Has anyone asked Trump why the US, as the "winner"

Is negotiating in the first place? I always thought the victor imposes the terms on the loser.

[SamuelTheThird]

12. The man can't place an order at a donut shop,

and he's spearheading tis extremely difficult negotiation?

[spanone]

13. Meanwhile MSNOW is showing Rachel reruns & CNN Bill Maher reruns

Our media

[AverageOldGuy]

19. Is it polite to say:

Bill Maher sucks?

[rollin74]

15. looks like more war starting very soon

the U.S. has been reloading with a lot more ammo coming into the region over the past several days

we'll have to see if Trump now makes good on his threat of massive infrastructure attacks

[Attilatheblond]

33. Gotta empty the armories so Uncle Sam is forced to buy more from Trump's Donor Class

[artemisia1]

50. Possibly, but we were losing aircraft at an unsustainable rate and, hopefully, don't want more of that. /nt

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

16. Probably should have sent Tim Walz, much more likable guy.

[struggle4progress]

17. Gosh! Being such a natural diplomat, JD usually seems so lovable and is so good at getting folk on his side!

Vance’s Approval Rating

[Scrivener7]

56. But he wrote a book about stupid people doing stupid things for stupid reasons! What's not to love?

And then he ...

Well, that's all he did. But Peter Theil likes him!

[AverageOldGuy]

18. Am I ever shocked and surprised

[Lifeafter70]

21. Damn does donald have him on zoom?

"with the vice president in constant communication with U.S. president Donald Trump and others in the administration. "
I just saw him shaking hands with Rogan at the UFC fights in Florida with his new best bro Rubio.

They must have brought the "cone of silence" with them.

[spanone]

28. I heard trmp say today 'i don't care if we have a deal'

And MARCO RUBIO SECRETARY OF STATE is at a FUCKING fake boxing match.

[Lifeafter70]

30. He doesn't

Cause their is money to be made.

[dweller]

23. So

They wouldn’t say ‘ thank you ‘ ?





✌🏻

[hay rick]

24. The couch at the head of the table was probably a bad idea.

[BattleRow]

27. The guyliner didnt help,either.

[BannonsLiver]

25. Given the way he talked to Zelensky I'm not surprised they told him to FRO.

[Crowman2009]

26. JD Vance is about as undeserving as Jay Leno with regards to prominent positions.

[Figarosmom]

29. Like we expected anything else from this group.

Iran has absolutely no incentive not to build the bomb now. Why would they say yeah, sure, we will just let you destroy us without trying to defend ourselves?

[orangecrush]

34. Well that was quick!

We are so fucked.

[spanone]

36. I remember the old time 'shuttle diplomacy' where envoys would fly back & forth

trying to come to means to end conflicts....

[blue blues]

37. When you have no cards - no deal

[spanone]

38. Jesus Christ

Here he is tonight. Working hard to end his War in Iran and make life more affordable for Americans like he promised.

[kacekwl]

41. Wow, after listening to the local news

breathlessly talking about High Stakes negotiations like there are serious people involved.

[Johonny]

42. Trump surrendered Tuesday, and usually

Post surrender you don't get the other side to agree to your former terms. I mean, duh!

Meanwhile Trump will declare victory and the war will or won't continue...

[Aristus]

47. The guy can't make plausible small talk in a doughnut shop.

Why would anyone think he could handle negotiations in an international forum?

[BeneteauBum]

49. I'm sure there were no good faith negotiations...only an ultimatum

Peace ☮️

[C_U_L8R]

51. So Trump wants the Obama deal that he trashed.

What amateurs.

[spanone]

53. Traitors.

[malaise]

57. Yep

Rec

[Ruby the Liberal]

58. Toothpaste back into the tube

Guess what happens when you rip up an agreement, attack a sovereign nation - and lose.

Are we great again?
