  1. I’ve listened to him a bunch of times when he was speaking in a conference setting. He is brutally, dare I say it, honest. Is he a hard nosed prick? Yes. An elite? Maybe. Did he over react in Chechnya and murder 1,000s? Yes, but it sure stopped terrorist attacks from there didn’t it? There’s no doubt he loves Russia.

  2. Vlad is not a good man. He is, however, almost always honest about himself and his aims, and is a “known quantity”. He’s had the right attitude about China and the CCP, and in his own way is reliable in many regards. I don’t think his replacement is likely to be as relatively “good” as he has been.

    Plus there’s something of the likable rogue about him that I grudgingly appreciate. I’m sorry to hear he’s got health problems.
