We are on the verge of war, and I believe this time, we started it. Iran is accused of shooting down a drone of ours, supposedly over neutral water. Now, we wait with bated breath, to see how our leader Vladimir Putin wants this to play out.

You heard me right, I believe Vlad is calling all the shots, and pulling all the strings on his puppet(s) in the White House. He wants to be King of the World, and the leaders of the US are helping him achieve it.

His fingerprints are in many countries around the globe. Venezuela and Britain are two recent examples, but Russia has actually been accused of meddling in the affairs of at least 27 countries since 2004. (Note: Vlad was a former intelligence officer who came into power on August 9, 1999. hmm).

I’m not going to discuss in detail all the changes made regarding US affairs that have been manipulated by Russia, but there are many and they are alarming.  They range from alienating and insulting allies, to embracing dictators and cut throats. Lines are being redrawn regarding religion, race, sexuality and financial status that generations before us fought and died to erase. Under his leadership, regulations that were put into place to save our planet and our lives have been eliminated. Vlad gave Don a magic marker to use and told him where and how to use it. Unfortunately, he didn’t tell Trump how to connect the dot of imposed tariffs to the dot showing  the effect on us common folk.

One more point of interest. Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate accord in 2017, although 197 other countries signed it. Earlier this month he told Prince Charles that the US had a “clean climate”, and it wasn’t our problem. As one of the 13 countries that did not sign it, Russia is one of the largest polluters.  Putin’s view of the issue…” climate change is not man-made, and we should adapt to it”. Great minds….!

Back to Iran. I believe that in order to keep the world whirling and off balance, Vlad decided that a good war would shake things up…but he only wants to watch from the sidelines in his tower in the Kremlin.  These are the moves that he may have directed Trump to take.

“First, create lack of trust in your own intelligence community. Do not have any competent people in positions of authority in your cabinet, and make sure you have someone that loves a good war as your National Security Advisor.

Now, let’s get a distraction going. Go after Iran…and goad them. I love how you do that.”

Iran was a likely target for Putin to put into the sights of Trump’s’ gun. They are viewed as an underdog that is untrustworthy by most of the world. Now they appear to be antagonizing us and aggressively going after us by bombing ships (actually Japanese ships) and now shooting our drone down.

I have doubts that Iran is responsible. I think there is a good chance that these attacks are being conducted by someone who would like to see us at war with Iran. It would unite the Americans behind a new enemy (taking the attention away from how destructive, corrupt and inept Trump is), while helping the Russian economy since they supply the majority of weapons to Iran.

I hope sanity is somewhere in Washington, and they slow down the escalation with Iran and look at the bigger picture.

I guess you could say that the American White Hat has been thrown onto the ground, stomped on and kicked to the side. We have been dethroned as the Good Guy and now look like a bully looking for a fight.
