No relation to Russia. I am just intrigued by the simple story of the presidential installation of a person who was supposed to be a yes man ...but lo and behold turned the tables.
He forced the oligarchs to pay taxes. Force out those with connections to the world bank/IMF.
Sent the IMF packing since it was organizing to execute the usual play...massive devaluation resulting in the heights of the economy falling into the hands of foreigners with foreign capital.
Subdued Muslim insurrection which was supported by outsiders with an eye to Balkanization.
Ultimately saving the country economically from the wretched nineties.
Vlad despite inheriting an oligarch system and despite the huge sanctions has shown himself to be a very competent bureaucrat. Russia has one of the lowest debt/GDP and is largely self-sufficient.
There is a comprehensive effort to use Russia as a cover for failure in whatever sphere or as a cover for shenanigans.
Vlad incurred the wrath of very powerful factions in the west when he sent to prison its darling - M. Khordokovsky and when finding himself between a rock and a hard place went for Trump.
