5 Or More Americans Feared Dead In Krasnov's War

There were at least 5 crew members on the refueling plane that crashed in Iraq. Krasnov is saying it was an accident, Iran is saying it brought it down. Normally I would believe what our president tells us but we have an idiot dictator in charge.

Not hearing any word on the fate of the crew yet scares me that they may not have survived the crash.

CENTCOM claims midair collision between two KC 135s. One landed safely at Ben Gurion with damaged vertical stabilizer (i.e., the tail). The other crashed in Western Iraq.

Iraqi pro-Iran groups claiming they shot it down with SAM.

Iran is no Iraq and it will fight back and thousands will die or be wounded.

THANKS A LOT Donny.

But NPR is also saying that brings the total dead in Trump's war to 11. By my count, the total is 12. In the first deaths, 7 were killed and several others injured. Then one of those injured died, bring it to 8. Now 4 more.
