So, absurd as this is, it is probably best for all concerned if he spends the rest of his term doing insane Minor Post-Soviet Dictator Things (notably see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saparmyrat_Nyýazow#Cult_of_personality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saparmyrat_Nyýazow#Cult_of_per...), vs starting random wars.
