It is in their nature, not to be honest. From the beginning.

The fish rots from the head. In 1985, when as many as three leaders, Leonid Brezhnev, Juri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko, had died within three years and the average age of the leadership was over 70 years, it was clear that something had to change.

So, what contributions do you expect from him that he hasn't had a chance to deliver already?

It looks like we are entering another period where TSSC doesn't have a leader at the helm and it is run by second and third counselors, or others. Just like Hinckley ran TSSC for years during Kimball, Benson and that other old guy who died shortly after.
Here are pics of him in his bullet proof Audi from last year:
Well, different car, different guy, different country...
And what good's a bullet proof car if you have the window down?
I doubt that is a bullet proof car. Ballistic glass is around 2 3/4" to 3' thick and normally doesn't roll down. But then again I am used to military vehicles.
