informed? >> well, i think it's quite true, at least in my mind he's not being well-informed. this is against the back drop of him being isolated for 22 years he's ruled and physically isolated for the last two years because of the pandemic. this is typical of autocrat. it's neither up nor down the command chain. the situation here is made worse by how badly -- ashley, i doubt he's being informed about much. he knew enough to purge some people, but generally speaking i don't think he's informed.
