He might be a decent human, but he's woefully bad at his job.

He might be able to salvage the Soviet Union into something else, but instead most of it turned into multiple heaps of dumpster fire, which after burning and destroying, was then commandeered by thugs, mafia and oligarchs.

Sometimes you have to work in the constraints of your time as he did. You'll learn that when you get older.

That saying needs to die, or you need to point out exactly how Aperocky will learn and at what approximate age.

Otherwise you're just saying "I only have my personal experience to judge from, with no solid argument, but I'll project that into you with utter confidence and no room for disagreement"

I mean, are you even sure you're older than Aperocky ?
