I laughed aloud when I realized I was the first and only person to vote for him.

I dunno if he's all that great or not, but boy do I feel smart around my peers knowing how to pronounce his name properly. I like that about him at least!

Well, he is pretty intolerant of christian's. As in the bible is illegal in china, and church's cant display crosses. And I don't think environmentalist's like him much either.

Shinzo Abe. Is he perfect? Of course not? Is he working hard to clean out corruption and economic mismanagement from Japan? Yes, and as a result, I'm rooting for the guy. Bibi Netanyahu is a close second, and I can admire Modi in India.

His name isn't even spelled right in the poll.

But for a choice... Yingluck Shinawatra if she hadn't been deposed in that stupid coup would still be the elected prime minister of Thailand, so she'd be number one. Otherwise... ugh... I'm almost tempted to say Ma Ying-jeou, even though I wish Dr. Tsai Ing-wen had been elected last cycle. I hope Professor Ko runs for President of the ROC, he's already the best mayor Taipei's ever had.

I suppose I can't really choose from Asia though I'd like to, so... Marie Louise Coleiro Preca, President of Malta.

Didn't even notice that. Funny the way your brain filters out information that it doesn't need...

Hell yeah putin's winning. Putin is the best, I don't really know why, I just know deep in my heart that Putin is the greatest leader since IVLIVS CAESAR.

Margrethe II of Denmark
She's the best.

Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein.
Edit: I didn't even consider Pope Francis. Brain fart. In that case, it's Pope Francis, with Hans-Adam a close second.

Stephen Harper.

That's an insult to so many men and women who far surpass him.

Though short in stature, Putin is tallest in character, spirit of Falcon, and leadership.

Yeah, it's easy to forget that Benito Mussolini made the Vatican a state.

It's easy to forget that not all world leaders are political, as well.

I kinda like Prime Minister Abe of Japan. His blatant ultranationalism is a little creepy, but I admire the man and his tenacity and devotion.

Good dude.

Which doesn't take away from the fact that "greatest leader since Julius Caesar" is a massive insult to far better men and women throughout history.

The Putin memes make him worth having around.

If only Gustavus Adolphus were alive. His memeage would be truly great.

The bible isn't illegal in China and churches can display crosses. Where are you getting your information?

I don't know if I'd call any world leader a favorite of mine. Xi Jinping is probably the most interesting to read about because he's a bit of a mystery.

How absurd, he will suffer the wrath of the Mother of Dragons just the same as the other traitors.

You misspelled China's president's name. Its Xi Jinping.

And he's no mystery to China watchers. He's good at consolidating power and purging and scapegoating Jiang Zemin and his factional cronies.

I wouldn't say it's ultranationalism, by any stretch of the imagination. Call me when Seoul is ruled by the Mighty Abe, then we'll call it ultranationalism.

And thus it can be said Korea is the Poland of Asia.

They're all terrible so I'll have to go with Putin for being Putin.
