    Something still doesn’t fully add up in all this. Krasnov is obviously still in the pocket of Putin, so what is Putin’s game here with respect to Venezuela and Iran?

    Do we even know Ayatollah is actually dead? What’s going on with Maduro?

      1. Grab all the Venezuelan oil first to protect the USA from rising oil prices at home, then
      2. fuck up the middle east, putting prices through the roof and disrupting oil supply to China and Europe, and
      3. wait for everyone to come begging for American and Russian oil?

      Take this with a huge pinch of salt. I’m just playing along here. I don’t know whether this is at all plausible.
