Putin Had To Give Krasnov The OK To Do This [View all]

This is the quid part of the arrangement, wondering what the quo part will be? What will Krasnov have to do for Putin?

Will this make Putin's invasion of Ukraine look less egregious? Nah, don't think so.

If Krasnov went rogue on Putin, he's in deep shit. I still think Putin gave his blessing.

Will China feel more emboldened to take Taiwan?

What is Putin getting out of this? Putin needs the price of oil to go up, it went down here in central Pa.
