"Why Attack Iran?" - Timothy Snyder

[gab13by13]

1. This is the first article that I have seen posted on DU,

that understands and explains why Krasnov went to war with Iran.

sop, thank you for posting this. I have been doing threads trying to say what Timothy Snyder said so much better than I could explain.

Snyder should have also said that by going to war Krasnov checked off another box in his quest to become dictator, he can go to war with anyone at any time and no one can stop him.

Krasnov just sent military personnel to our southern border doing immigration enforcement.

Zelenskyy told Krasnov that he canceled elections in Ukraine because of the war and Krasnov responded, "why can't I do that?"

Sure Krasnov will make money from the oil in Iran just like he is making money from the oil in Venezuela, billions of dollars, but being the most powerful dictator in the world is his #1 goal.

Krasnov doesn't give a shit how this war turns out, doesn't give a shit how many people die, including Americans. This war shows the world, shows the United States, that he is all powerful and anyone who crosses him will be erased.
