      No, but too many people were asking questions about Krasnov.

      Negotiate a deal and have Russia reject it, then sanction Russia so the senators finally have at least one thing to point at and go ‘see! He’s tough on Russia! He can’t possibly be a Russian asset!’.

        Possible, and harmless to Russia since Biden’s administration sanctioned pretty much everything they could already. I will not be surprised though if Trump announces he’s relaxing sanctions based on a promise from Putin to consider future negotiations.
