Obvious HP for having some of the most odious views on this forum. That being said, without him there’d be basically no coverage of the politics of some major non-Western countries so he does provide something of value compared to a lot of posters of his ilk.
That's true, although I suspect that in many cases if you actually know the countries in question, you'd find his analysis rather ... lacking. I'm not qualified to comment on many of them, but where I do have some knowledge to check his international posts against, I've often found that they consist of faux-neutral presentation of extremely slanted takes. And of course, we're all familiar with his infamous spamming of the Ukraine thread.
As for my overall opinion, you are of course right that it barely needs to be stated that he is a massive HP for having the most cartoon-villain views of anyone on this site.
