    Iranians talk like nuclear arms is a birthright, but it's not.
    USSR stole it from USA who invented it successfully and USA had to give nuclear arms to its allies after Moscow stole it.
    If it was up to USA, only America would have it - There is no birthright for American technology.

    A tweet hardly amounts to an order or a lecture.

    Sounds like Germans are very sensitive. One has to be careful of their sensitive feeling or they will become "offended". lol

    Nobody is offended. He is simply called an idiot like his boss. And he is burned just hours after taking office.

    You have an ambassador in Berlin now who gets treated like a child and he gets offered lessons in diplomacy.

    You mean he needs to learn to say what he said in a more sensitive way.

    Not the "US governmental swamp", but the whole world minus Israel and Hicksville USA.

    No, he needs to learn to shut up. His job is to be a clap bunny.

    Lot's of paranoia there. Not a good reflection of you.

    Hey, Germany already gave its answer. Live with it!

    Germans are very efficient, so I'm sure they weighed the benefits of doing business with the US or without the US before deciding to stick to the agreement. The problem Germany has though, is that it is not dealing with an honest broker. Washington resorts to subversive means to destroy anyone who opposes it.

    The problem is - we can never content the beast that's in your belly. You always have one or two wars of aggression going on, you can't be trusted to hold your end of a bargain, you always want more, no matter what it costs the rest of the world or the future. Plus, you are always wrong. Last time it was Iraq, now it's Syria, next is Iran... Are you really worth all of this sht you profusely create and export?

    The USA isn't essential or exceptional in any way.

    Ambassador Grenell merely spoke for the President of America.
    It's diplomacy that's speaking for the president.

    Well, as it turns out... The deal wasn't revealed as making such a difference in Iranians' life. As in "it was much hype". So I assume someone wasn't really dealing on the signatory block, or that they were severly over-rating the economic "liberation" of their sanctions.

    Anyway, from our PoV, It was a good deal as long as the occident respected it, because while it lasted the nuclear weapon development in Iran was effectively suspended - I agree it wasn't eliminated, but still now we pray for this sort of agrement with NK, don't we.

    Then the Dotard entered the scene, bent on undoing everthing that bears Obama's mark, no matter if in doing so he sinks the very ship he is on. That's going to bite him in his lard arse, as Iran will develop the nukes and thyen Israel will lose the higher hand in the ME. Double-plus good.

    I just learned the word 'occident' in your post... I like that word 'occident'.
    It's like an Anglosphere with speakers of other languages. lol

    In 1935 the Iranian government requested those countries which it had diplomatic relations with, to call Persia "Iran," which is the name of the country in Persian. The suggestion for the change is said to have come from the Iranian ambassador to Germany, who came under the influence of the Nazis.

    The Aryan race, apparently Iran was Hitler's masterace....

    Aryans came from Europe to Iran, so, they're the Aryan race.

    I learned the word 'polyglot talking to my friend tonight in Tesco/at the local branch of a chain grocery store.

    Polyglot means speaker of many languages.

    I see nothing wrong with what Grenell said. This does show the childishness of the German govt.

    They came roughly out of the Pontic Steppe. The Indo-Gangetic Plain was one of their more important destinations.

    He's the ambassador....the voice of the President in that country...he ought to speak bluntly. If the Germans are too sensitive and get their feathers ruffled, well that's just too bad. The 4th Reich might be able to run amok over their EU partners, but that shitt isn't very successful against the US!
