The Real Reason Krasnov Surrendered

[gab13by13]

Not many folks getting it yet. Krasnov was going to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age. Open up Hormuz or we will bomb power plants and bridges. We wake up this morning and Krasnov surrendered, gave control of Hormuz to Iran, allowed them to illegally collect tolls.

What happened was Admiral Brad Cooper - the head of CENTCOM. Whiskey Pete suggested (not ordered) that we bomb power plants and bridges and Admiral Brad Cooper said, Fuck No. that ended Krasnov's bombing of civilian targets and left him with the only option of boots on the ground, or in other words, an endless war with many killed Americans.

Thank you Admiral Brad Cooper, it is a good start for the US to refuse to commit war crimes.

1. Has this Cooper been out saying all this?

Or is it just speculation?

3. I watched Nicolle Wallace yesterday

She had a former general on her show who flat out said that the US will not be bombing bridges and power plants because CENTCOM pushed back on Hegseth.

He said his information was second hand, but it appears to me it was quite accurate.

2. No matter how you frame it......................

shithole and comrades got on egg on their face.

As to the above, from my understanding, it pretty much happened. Troops on the ground and bombing power ..... nuclear plants was a complete no no, and the ME concur.

But at least the stock market made a "killing".

5. It is amazing how easily the stock market is duped. The cease fire is rapidly falling apart largely

as a result of Israel's actions which will of course cause tit for tat retaliation. The stock market will probably tank tomorrow. Given that the Straits are closed again, the price of oil will go back up tomorrow. Those people riding the crests and troughs will all make bank.

4. This is pure speculation

or, to put it more succinctly, BS.

6. LOL, the alternative is what? The ghost of War Crimes Past paid a visit to Trump and his heart grew 3 sizes?

Oh, it was somebody very high up in the military that said 'we are not doing that', and held his ground.

9. alternative 1 is that MFer was bluffing to force some last minute sham agreement

which is his standard MO. it doesn't apparently matter that each side agreed to different terms.

alternative 2 is that MFer would have launched a "big" attack on military targets (that had already been attacked) and simply lie about it being "civilization ending".

11. You have evidence this is BS?

From what sources?

10. I saw that commentary on MSNOW yesterday and it's a great point

12. When Trump talks, it ALWAYS reminds me of the older movies where a 3.5 foot kid standing in front of two 6 ft muscled

..."friends" with arms crossed standing behind him. Threaten serious harm. If they leave, it is TACO day.

13. What a damn mess. Thank God for this. Impeach this cretin.

[GoodRaisin]

14. That was my guess as well. The most likely scenario.

Of course they are not going to reveal that Cooper told them no, unless it leaks somehow. It could have also been a bluff, but I tend to think you are correct. Without competent military leaders we would be at Krasnov’s mercy and I don’t think he knows the meaning of the word.
