When in Russia, rule as the Russians do, right? Crazy how much influence someone like Ivan the Terrible can have on culture and broader world events from such a distance.
The fact that a culture of extractive economies and strong-man leaders inculcated by a sociopathic nobleman hundreds of years ago can culminate in war crimes, an attempted coup, and the demographic collapse of two countries does not engender in me a profound appreciation for moral relativism. You can pump the brakes and put that one right through the fucking windshield.
