So What? Krasnov and Putin are talking about a treaty.
Two individuals who have shown no regard for the lives and prosperity of their own citizens. Two individuals who have both lied about everything and demonized others to hide their own massive guilt. Honestly when a journalist asks either of these individuals a question the journalist is normalizing deceit.
Then those two set up a stage where they can talk about a treaty. Wow, get it all on camera, interview these leaders. Come away with nothing that informs, help or causes anything good.
Putin says something, maybe he planned the reaction and is playing everyone's response. Either way, someone will end up falling from a window back at home and their economy will go ten more years into to hole. Krasnov says something, someone in his base will grab a gun and fire rounds into a crowd. Someone high up in his administration will turn a bit more stinky as they cover for the insanity Krasnov will insist they stick to. Meanwhile mostly everyone else is figuring out how to prosper and have decent lives without either the USA or Russia seeing a crack of light at the end of the tunnel.
Hi Israel! Remember when you were showing the world how to prosper in a desert? Take Russia and the USA as a warning and not as an example, excuse or opportunity. Throw that madman out and whatever you do, don't defend him for anything. It doesn't look good on you and even if it ends now, the long term cost is going to be way more than you want the bill for.
