You said being blunt means Ufric can't be power hungry. I pointed out a historical power-monger who was blunt. I don't know why you're dissecting Stalin's actions, it's irrelevant: my point is being blunt doesn't automatically cancel out the potential of being power-hungry.

If you're going to dissect Stalin's reign for whatever reason then fine, I'll find other examples of blunt yet power-hungry leaders.

Julius Caesar. Mao Zedong. Qin Shi Huang. Napoleon. Frederick Barbarossa. I could go on, but I think I've said enough. All these men, some revolutionnairies, were blunt, yet they all hungered for power. Because you can be power hungry and also be blunt.
