This. We know that Dantski & Nakor are isolated from the *REAL* CoW and he is Spulla's best possible ally. It gives them a secure border to go and destroy Jowy and go after Kathlete should they desire it. Out of all the players attacking them, Dantski has antagonised India the least, and I believe it is his best chance to get to the final 2/3.
I would have a lot of admiration for Dantski if he had the strength to make this switch. He has nothing to lose from this, if he switches he gains a firm ally who could well propel them to the end game. If he threatens a switch, he could get a better deal from the CoW than he currently has, although that may only be a short-term benefit before being ganged up on by Jowy/Kathlete/Whosit.
