It's shocking that some of the world's most trusted leaders are autocrats. Has a gap emerged between democracy and global leadership? I was surprised at the low level of confidence around the world. With the decline of the U.S. President as a global leader for an extended period, you would think that some other leader would step into that breach and become a galvanizing focus as an alternative.
Goes on but never answers the question: What about that gap between democracy & global leadership? When one hears so-called leaders blathering empty praises of liberty, democracy & all the other lip-serviced & otherwise ignored concepts, one can only laugh, realizing that the vast majority of the human species want only full stomachs & something to distract them at night, in the few hours they can, if they're lucky, call their own. It's no surprise that autocrats are better tolerated.
