I think Vlad, as a trained KGB guy, understood we had pressure points that could be exploited, particularly on race and anti-Semitism. It would have been negligence on his part if he didn't take advantage of it. So, yes, he's been horrible for Russia, and he's led his country into a debacle in Ukraine, but the GOP might just save his ass, and that happens to be the most cost effective way to win that war.

Well, it did take more than two centuries and a lot of help from Vlad the Bad.
