He has his small cadre of circle-jerkers but they offer him no solutions, only praise.
As the economy teeters on the edge of a recession and uncertainty floods the markets, he is helpless to do anything about it.
As he pushed his insane tariff policies, because only he can fix it, China called his bluff. So now he is standing naked in the middle of 5th Avenue with nothing but a gun in his hand.
His challenge is to kiss the ass of the Chinese and make the American people think he has scored a major victory. He has no choice but to surrender his stance or watch the economy take a dive. The stable genius made a blunder and blames everything on Joe Biden.
But desperate men make desperate decisions. He needs a distraction. A huge distraction.
What could he possibly do to change the focus from his disastrous policies?

(27,888 posts)Krasnov is giving the commencement speech at the University of Alabama tonight. (supposed to be met with protests)
Then he is flying off to Mar-el-Loco to play golf Fri. Sat. Sun.
Krasnov doesn't give a shit if he causes a recession.

(13,293 posts)Malcom Nance is convinced he will start a war with Iran. We have already stationed bombers and re-fueling aircraft in the Indian Ocean.
Do you think that all the young Bros that swung to Trump anticipated a draft?

(1,152 posts)It's conflicts overseas that keep me up.
No allies will follow us or back us, with this unstable genuis leading.
We will be on our own.
Although it may inspire an internal revolt within our military.

(27,888 posts)but would Putin allow Krasnov to start a war with his ally, Iran? Iran has supplied Putin with a lot of drones.
Bibi may want Krasnov to join a war with Iran but not so sure about Putin.

I'm surprised he hasn't tried it yet. What a way to secure his immortality!
