KRASNOV's "assurance" of non-involvement in peacekeeping - problems with that [View all]

Other prob: Way to go, leaving allies holding the bag. But then, he prefers to keep troops "peacekeeping" on U.S. soil, terrorizing at home.

Not to mention that he has no core, will take or trash whatever comes along - his whole marketing is about Chance outcomes "trumping" any best-laid-plans, if he could make a plan. So it's always "We'll see what happens," and then take credit for it/whatever.
