@Kang_Kong3 @Robert_Edwardly @Terry @RaHoWaJoe True, but on some level he needed to do it to have any power of his own. His close association with Chabad is worrying, as was his attacks on russian nationalism.

I think it's more like we don't have any "based" leaders who are out for white people as a whole, but rather their own power. But sometimes the needs of the leader causes them to act in our interests. Like Stalin purging jews in the USSR post-WWII, it was done for his power but it also saved Russia from a worse fate.
