  1. Imagine failing so hard as supreme leader that all of the enemies of your empire idolize you as a hero and mourn your death.

  2. Making "peace" by hastening the end of your empire is hardly an achievement. That's like praising someone for slipping on a banana and losing a race. The Soviet Union was defeated economically and culturally, communism was defeated. And Gorbachev was the leader of the Soviet Union tasked to spread communism. He isn't celebrated by anyone, but the enemies of the Soviet Union outside of Russia.

  3. He is missed only by the enemies of the Soviet Union.

  4. Pretty much all populists ever going back to antiquity. If that impresses you, you're the most useful of idiots.

  5. He's a hero to all of the enemies of the Soviet Union and communism in general. Which is quite a remarkable fail for someone, who was the supreme leader of the Soviet Union tasked to spread communism.

  6. Failing so extremely hard as supreme leader that your enemies still celebrate you decades after the end of your empire and canonize you as a secular saint after your death.

  7. Loved by the enemies of the empire he was supposed to lead. Would you hire an exterminator, who is loved by rats, or a policeman, who is loved by burglars?

  8. Wilhelm II was way more embarrassing than Hitler.

  9. "Peace" isn't good in itself. He oversaw and hastened the end of the Soviet Union. Of course there is "peace" when one party in a conflict ceases to exist. You have to fail pretty hard as a leader to be celebrated with such enthusiasm by the enemies of your empire.
