Wow, I'm so glad someone else noticed this! I have a long and annoying commute for which books like these are perfect, and he writes the thinnest, least-characterised, stereotypical villains I have ever seen, and that includes comic book villains from the 60s. And you're right, he does exactly the same with every single villain, no matter where they're from or who they are. It's like he has a standard "Villain" and just grafts a few characteristics on to make them marginally different from the last book.

I do think they're different from each other to some extent. For instance, his sadistic Saudi Arabian torturer has a different personality and motivations than his honor-obsessed Japanese villain, and they're both different from his might-makes-right American villain. It's just, well . . . reread the last sentence. Every villain's the most negative stereotype of what their country is like, without much depth beyond that.
