Depends on how old Uncle Vlad is feeling.

He could do a Churchill and come back in his eighties, or he could find a set of mechanisms which would keep the ship afloat and on course, and allow him to retire safely. He’s a bright lad, he may just manage it.

If he does, I’ll applaud him as more than just the most successful politician of the democratic era, but as a Russian Tsar who got out still breathing.

Until we die, of course. A good death and fine legacy is all any of us can hope for. Let’s see how he plays the endgame.
