I agreed with everything you said until the last four words. What would make you think that Krebs is motivated by a "reckless pursuit of clout?"

I suppose we can never truly know what motivates anyone to do anything. I'm not committed to that stance, but even if he had the most pure of motivations it wouldn't materially change the consequences (both ethical and practical) of his actions.
