Krasnov Has Total Control Over The Military

What just happened is an escalation, is an affirmation, that Krasnov can use the military as he sees fit, there is no such thing as an illegal order, the Supreme Court gave Krasnov immunity.

This will escalate to his use of the military into the United States. Krasnov, through Bondi, can claim that Tim Walz committed a crime and have Seal Team Six kidnap him. Krasnov won't have to go through the process of getting warrants, he can bypass warrants by simply using the military to kill or kidnap US citizens.

Why Not? Who will stop him?

The worst part is about to happen when he gives his press conference today. Krasnov will claim he saved eleventy billion American lives by kidnapping Maduro, the spin will be intended to keep Magats on board.

...when U.S. military personnel start coming back from Venezuela in body bags.

We need HUGE national protests over this outrage---immediately. And contact your elected representatives---for whatever that's worth, at this point.

The gaps in your logic are bigger than the Grand Canyon.

Despite this latest heinous international act, Trump has been restrained, delayed or thwarted domestically numerous times over the past year.

I’m sure he thinks waving his dick around in Latin America is going to boost his poll numbers - let’s see how things unfold over the coming months.

Millions still can’t afford healthcare or groceries, and this isn’t going to distract them from that daily misery.
