Everything Krasnov does makes one feel like they have had a bucket of slime poured other themselves. Everything. The way he talks, the way he thinks, the way he grifts, the way he is above the law, the way he has raped children, the way he is stupid, the way he is ignorant, the way he is a BULLY. Everything. All of it... I need to go take a shower...
