Krasnov's Many Reasons For Going To War With Iran

1. Help the average Iranian citizens in their plight against a cruel administration - Then he bombs a girl's school.

2. Regime change - He kills an evil dictator who is replaced by a much more evil dictator.

3. Secure Iran's enriched uranium and prevent it from ever getting a nuclear bomb - Nope.

It appears those 3 objectives have been failures, they aren't even being talked about. This leaves us with the last objective that is still on the table.

4. Krasnov invaded Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz, that was already open.

Objective #4 is the only one that Krasnov is still fighting for.

My reasons make more sense - not provable however.

1. Saudi Arabia and the UAE paid Krasnov a lot of money to invade Iran. This was suggested by a former Saudi intelligence official who suggested this on Malcolm Nance's podcast.

2. Bibi has a copy of the Epstein files. (Mossad's involvement with Epstein)

Could that be what the Board of Peace was all about? Trump pitched a deal that if they paid him he would use the strength of the US military to knock out the Iranian leadership and stop Iranian sponsored terrorism?

Epstein -- Could be that Israel has Epstein info. So does Putin. Senator Whitehouse did a video on various oreign connections to Epstein. He included Putin and Bibi.

Another reason-- Seize Iranian oil? He wants to control the world's oil supply.

Trump and his people told us right from the start

There was a flurry of outraged talk initially about Trump being influenced by a foreign power, but now no one wants to mention it

is my favorite excuse for this , caused by:

1. the trump/epstein video gives netanyahu control over trump personally (among others). putin has all he needs from that komprommat as well.

2. the airplane and billions of "investment" mean the sheiks have trump's attention.

3. the televangelists want the jews deported and converted so jesus can return.

4. that billion dollars from big oil is being repaid in windfall profits.

5. Epstein Epstein Epstein
