18. He'd be stupid not to do it

The far right has gotten a huge boost because the nominal left in Europe has completely discredited itself by jumping on the austerity train. I'm sure some here will hyperventilate and get confused, but I view this as Ludendorff and Hindenburg putting Lenin on a train to Russia. I don't know if Vlad is a big fan of the far right, but I'm pretty sure he's a big fan of keeping the EU off-balance.

If the far right rises in Europe, with or without Vlad's help, it'll be on Merkel. It's her stupid country forcing its misguided neuroses on the rest of the continent.
