If these documents are legit and Russia change its defensive strategy because of them he could potentially singlehanded cause thousands of lives lost, a failed spring offensive and in the worst case war in Europe could be lost to Russia.
The question is also why a 21 nobody would have access to these types of files and what more files are lost to Russia.

He is a no body who was easily taking top secret information! I think the guy who ordered these military vehicles is trying to cover up for someone.

The docs have been circulating for months, not days.

The pictures of the arrest remind me of of the Tankman in China 1989. The US is always good for drama :)
