I lean more toward your take. The national leader is rarely the center of gravity when they are the elected representative. Now when an...
Counterpoint: I don’t think anyone was saying he wasn’t always ruthless and utilitarian. But in terms of pure Russian nationalism, never mind...

What part of “Eff him” and every other Russian with overseas assets have I not made clear?
