Who is your favorite world leader?

by **Arslaniya** » Sun Nov 15, 2015 1:39 pm

Title says it all. Which leader in this world do you consider to be your favorite? It can be for any reason. Feel free to say Trudeau because he's handsome, or Putin because he wrestles with bears.

Personally, I very much admire Almazbek Atembayev of Kyrgyzstan. Yes, I know, many of you haven't ever heard his name before, but that's alright. Now you have.

Kyrgyzstan isn't too relevant in terms of global politics and certainly not the global economy, but I've researched it a lot due to my personal interest in Central Asia and it's inhabitants.

Atembayev is a man who deserves respect. He is a peaceful and respectful leader who runs what is arguably the freest and least corrupt ex-Soviet Republic in Central Asia. Sure, Kyrgyzstan may not be as "successful" as Kazakhstan, but when it comes to leadership qualities, I don't find that to be relevant. He strikes me as a benevolent leader who truly cares for the wellbeing of his citizens and peace with his neighbors.

If you would like to watch an interview with Atembayev, you'll appreciate him as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8VOM0EykBs

(He does look quite good for his age

Xi Jinping (JUST KIDDING) Gaddafi

I would probably have to say Merkel, mostly because she's managed to fund the entire EU but not fall apart with them, so that's a plus. Also, not really a lot of horrific intent coming from Germany, as well as a respectably moderate government.

Angela Merkel

She takes a lot of flak since people tend to associate her with everything they hate about the EU, but I like her. She leads Germany well, has been pretty hardline about getting rid of corruption and is a genuinely likable person.

Ronald Reagan, Park Jung-Il. I'm assuming we're taking about modern leaders, right?

Really? Most of us here in the Netherlands see her and her Germany as the "Fourth Reich", and she's often considered as a pseudo-dictator because of her oppressive decisions against Eastern Europe, the Benelux and Finland.

None of them. Also, kids remember this: Ghaddafi = terrorism.

She's not really that oppressive, honestly.

I gotta go with my man Thomas Sankara for being an anti-imperialist hero.

Currently? Or historically?

And you can't defend a supporter of terrorism.

What you mean Lockerbie? The one which the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission said a "spectacular miscarriage of justice occurred?"

She's the devil incarnate. Because of her entire villages are forced to take up migrants.

I dunno. Who's the current queen of Britain? Victoria? Mary? Something like that?

If people don't want it, then they shouldn't. Merkel can't play kaiserin von Europa and force her 'own' 'people' to do anything her socialist elite wants them to.

Go the fuck away. "Most of us in the Netherlands" don't believe that. If you're going to spout bullshit like that about us, at least back it up.

If they don't like it they can show it via the ballot box. It's called democracy you should try it. Since when is her CDU party remotely socialist?
