Vlad was not nuts.
He was taken and raised by Muzzies and knew what they were.
When they came knocking at his country’s door, he adopted the *only* measures he knew would work to save his people.
History paints him as a maniac but he is still a hero in in his homeland.
Impaling animals in your prison cell, nailing hats to peoples heads, etc...no he wasnt nuts.
Now, his childhood most likely was the cause.
Fear not, for there are many Vlads in this world, even to this day. ;)
