'Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayotollah Ali Khameini, was confirmed dead on Saturday after the U.S. and Israel coordinated attacks against the country, according to reports.

Khameini, 86, had led Iran for more than 35 years following the death of revolutionary founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989. His death marks a major blow for the country and sets off an immediate succession crisis in the country.'

Everything Krasnov does makes one feel like they have had a bucket of slime poured other themselves. Everything. The way he talks, the way he thinks, the way he grifts, the way he is above the law, the way he has raped children, the way he is stupid, the way he is ignorant, the way he is a BULLY. Everything. All of it... I need to go take a shower...
