An Iran Conspiracy Theory [View all]

Vladimir Putin has Trump by the balls.

He is in desperate straits in his war against Ukraine. He is running out of money and political capital.

He has something on Trump that nobody knows. We have seen the evidence time after time when Trump acts in the interest of Russia and Putin.

As I type this, Kharg Island, which reportedly refines about 20% of the world's oil supply, is being attacked. Who does that benefit? Follow the money.

When the Strait of Hormuz is closed, who does that benefit?

When the price of a barrel of oil skyrockets, who does that benefit?

It all points to Putin and Trump is doing his dirty work to keep him afloat in Ukraine and in Moscow.

That is my conspiracy theory for today.
