Happy Halloween to the D.U.S.E. Nation! For your holiday enjoyment, Eli and Mel bring you the most based of European leaders: Vlad the Impaler! Nothing screams Halloween more than the story of one of the most feared and effective Balkan leaders in all of European history. Vlad Dracula witnessed his father's rise and fall, was held captive by a bunch of Muslims, and eventually took his father's place at the helm of Wallachia, a tiny country smack dab in the middle of Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. Born into the heart of a world in conflict, it's no wonder that our boy Dracula might have had a problem with diplomacy or anything else that couldn't be solved by punching a guy in the face. Really really really hard. So settle in, grab your ill-gotten candy, pour yourself a drink, and listen as the D.U.S.E. regales you with the bloody history of Wallachia and their greatest leader, proving that Vlad Dracula wasn't an evil guy. He was really just...Super Based!
