I’ve read variations of this click bait headline from dozens of sources.
One would have to have a sense of humility in order to be humiliated.
The headline should read: Unsurprisingly, Trump rejects the truth in favor of the lies that keep him in power.
the article didn’t seem to describe humiliation, but rather a failure and i was trying to understand how it could be construed as humiliation; now that i know it’s clickbait, it makes sense.
You’re right. This is what’s being described as humiliation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWZU4zrOoLE
The headline is riding the popular sentiment regarding this particular clip without discussing it much at all.
Seems like it’s Macron who’s rejecting the truth that US and Russia are going to negotiate the end of the proxy war while Europe is left out in the cold.
If by “negotiate an end…” you mean carve Ukraine up for mineral and land rights, then I suppose that’s probably accurate enough.
Sure yeah, that’s why the war should’ve been avoided, but Europeans cheered for this and now here we are.
And how could this war have been avoided?
Plenty of western experts have discussed this very issue for many decades now. It’s rather concerning that you’re entirely unaware of that.

50 prominent foreign policy experts (former senators, military officers, diplomats, etc.) sent an open letter to Clinton outlining their opposition to NATO expansion back in 1997:
George Kennan, arguably America’s greatest ever foreign policy strategist, the architect of the U.S. cold war strategy warned that NATO expansion was a “tragic mistake” that ought to ultimately provoke a “bad reaction from Russia” back in 1998.
Jack F. Matlock Jr., US Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1987-1991, warning in 1997 that NATO expansion was “the most profound strategic blunder, [encouraging] a chain of events that could produce the most serious security threat […] since the Soviet Union collapsed”
Even Gorbachev warned about this.
That is literally what happens at the end of a war. The loser gives up their wealth.
