I was reading about Brezhnev and came across this Guardian article from March 6th comparing Biden to Brezhnev and it's pretty interesting (www.theguardian.com)

It still has to do the obligatory "of course the USSR's politics were totalitarian and evil and the US's politics are open and free" bullshit, but kudos to this guy for calling Biden the leader of a nation in rapid decline on March 6th.

Good article, though it's a bit unfair to call Brezhnev "frail and confused" when he won the trust of the nomenklatura: he was quite young really. He held power for 18 years and when he died he was still younger than Biden is now.
