I will be significantly amused if it turns out that this former construction worker started immediately taking over the Sinister Axis in order to /prevent/ war and suffering.
–by which I mean ‘prevent war through not going to war and living in peace’, rather than ‘prevent war hereafter by first taking over the world’.
It’s reasonable that he represents a gigantic threat if hostile–and, for that matter, there’s the risk of what his super-country will do after his death–but it’s not inconceivable that the perception that the drive to terminate him (possibly as well as asctions to show that America et cetera could be destroyed by his side at any time?) is Cold War counterproductive(?) aggressive-defensiveness all over again, at least from our perspective.
Granted, plausibly a long-shot hypothesis.
*in any case, curiosity about how the rest of this story will unfold in the remaining pages*
Is he about to win using Jo’s pearl of wisdom about the limits of his “super power?” That would be just a tad boss.
there are plenty of ways to be a villain and avoid lying.

what i find funny is if starwars had become big in this universe they would both be able to lie or at least tell the truth in creative ways
more like a Aes Sedai in the Wheel of Time. Not able to lie but able to “say no word that is untrue”
