Is Krasnov Getting Ready To Surrender

Oh sure he will declare victory while he is surrendering.

Going to be hard to declare victory when:

Krasnov said he must approve the new leader of Iran - the son of the Supreme leader took over and he is worse than dad.

Krasnov said Iran better not stop the flow of oil through Hormuz or he will hit them 20 times harder - Iran has stopped the flow of oil except for Iranian oil that is being shipped to China. Iran is shipping more oil to China today than it did before the war, oh and Iran is mining Hormuz.

7 Americans killed and 140 wounded, 8 seriously wounded.

He goes on TV and lies about bombing an Iranian school for girls, when he claimed he was backing the people.

Stock market is tanking.

Price of crude is rising with gasoline and diesel prices also rising.

The economy is showing signs of a recession with the war increasing inflation and jobs at recession-like lows.

Krasnov has lost the right wing media - Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson have attacked Krasnov for the war.

Congressional Magats are calling for Krasnov to declare victory and surrender, well, Lyndsey Graham wants Krasnov to move on to Cuba.

I suggest that Krasnov better keep doing rallies in deep red America and screen the few people who attend. His ego is in dire need of stoking.

I believe only one country ever surrendered because they were bombed - Japan.

Although maybe he thinks he can use the war as an excuse for the collapsing American economy.

Joe Biden built the best economy for working people in generations, the bottom 50% were seeing unprecedented gains, even as Inflation was a concern. The corporate media convinced people that everything was falling apart. And then taking advantage of the good economy, the GOP slashed the social safety net, which you can't do in a bad economy.

America and Americans are going through very hard times and it's going to get much much much worse for the bottom 90%.

And as I type this, I am reading a biased as hell article about inflation on Yahoo, as if inflation is even a key economic indicator.

He removed an unpopular ruler and left the regime in charge. An externally led regime change is hard, because the population will generally rally around the regime against a foreign attack, even if they hate the regime.
