There was no negotiated peace when Germany lost World War II.

Are you insane?

It depends. Sanity is overvalued. But talking situation in Iran, it seems that I just better informed.

The water and electricity shortages have been building for years, but the ayatollahs never developed a plan to correct this but spent what money they had to send missiles to attack other countries.

Ok. Libya have been more investing in water supplies and lesser - in weapons and active foreign policy. And what had happened with Libya? If Iran wins - Iranians are getting rich and buy whatever they want. If Iran lose - Iranians are getting dead, and they don't need water anyway.

That's why the Iranian people are protesting against the ayatollahs' government.

Actually, they are not. Absolute majority of Iranians support their government and war for independence.

Of course they are united, they are united agaainst the ayatollahs' failed economy, just as the Syrian protesters were united against Assad's failed economy.

That is not united as a political group, goofball.

They are united in their opposition to the ayatollahs, just as the protestors in Syria were united in their opposition to the Assad regime.

Good point. Let's review what Trump has done.
Decreased GDP since Biden
Inflation rose about 3.3% annually, with a sharp spike in March 2026
Energy prices surged (gas up 20%+ in a month) due to geopolitical conflict
Disposable income declined (first drop in months)
Savings rate fell to ~4%
Deficit ~$1.9 trillion (2026) (~5.8% of GDP)
Debt ~101% of GDP, rising toward 120%
Historically, deficits this high are unusual outside crises
Slowing job growth / fragile labor dynamicsTrade and tariff effects -Slower growth -Higher prices -Weaker business confidence
Loss of respect worldwide

And still better than Biden.

No it is not. Even if it is, IT IS NOT GOOD!
He is doing the opposite of what he said except on the border.
Economy is bad and we are in a war.

I only had one other choice when I voted. I'm happy.
