Krasnov Did Achieve 1 Objective In The Iran War

He promised regime change and he got it, a much more radical regime is now in charge.

Other than that Krasnov got nothing.

13 dead Americans and many more wounded

13,000 US air strikes

3,500 dead Iranians.

Israel refuses to stop fighting in Lebanon.

By the bye, Iran is getting way more than 24 billion dollars, way more than just its frozen assets, by my calculations, Iran is demanding to be paid 324 billion dollars. President Obama was severely criticized for unfreezing 1.7 billion dollars of Iranian money.

It sure sounds to me like another "board of peace"-style corrupt play to create a humongous barrel of money that is "managed" in a way that enables the felon and a host of other corrupt players to suck money out of to their hearts content.

American taxpayers need to demand EVERY DETAIL of what our pockets are being picked to create.

And when the magnitude of nature of the ripoff is clear, we must say NO F-ING WAY.

If I was a Democrat in Congress, I would not vote one red cent.

They need to be more transparent and open. There is just so much we do not know.

It's a pig in a poke.

He embroiled US military and intelligence resources in a wild goose chase, removing the focus from Russia's adventurism, creating more disorder in the world, AND the US body politic.

One of the geopolitical goals of Russia is to cause internal political disruptions in nation-states and local regions; in what ever way they can get away with. Having a Russian mobster as US president was a coup of the first order.

Putin's greatest scheme paid off handsomely ... We'll suffer the consequences for years
