Geopolitics be damned; sometimes it’s just bad men acting badly. Vlad has joined the pantheon of tyrannical despots:

Bad Men Acting Badly

They walk, they talk, they seem to understand
They’ve got a manifesto, but they haven’t got a plan
In fact they haven’t anything that we might understand
They’re just bad men acting badly
They run, they hide, they have no lack of pride
They have inflated egos and they hate the other side
They’ve heard of self-reflection but they’ve never really tried
They’re just bad men acting badly
They argue, they ignore what it is their life is for
They accumulate vast riches and insist on so much more
They obfuscate the obvious but blame it on the poor
They’re just bad men acting badly
They creep. They crawl. They slither down the hall
They think that they’re invincible and that they’ll never fall
But history has shown us they’re like jello on the wall
And that they’re bad men acting badly
