Krasnov is going to announce that he has asked Barack Obama to take over peace negotiations between the US and Iran and Israel.

Former president Obama was eager to accept the challenge as he still has copies of the old agreement negotiated with Iran.

You heard it here first from Tabone's barber shop.

He'll claim without any evidence that they prove the 2020 election was stolen from him. They have telegraphed what they planning to do for weeks. It will all be bullshit and will hopefully be immediately called out by all remaining reputable news outlets. The plan is Goebbels level propaganda, but will end up being Homer Simpson level failure.

We know he will not be gracious or generous or giving or good natured.
He will not confess to any of his countless crimes and transgressions.
He will whine and whine. And spout a lot of unsupported nonsense to whip up
his idiot supporters into a froth. And he will disgrace our country even more
than the world has ever seen.
