Putin is a good leader in the russian context that he is good for Russian Slavic civlization

Xi is good for china

AND

Trump is good for Western Civilization - I know everybody hates him but most people that do don't understand his position in History.We are in the Fourth Turning, there is no other man in the West more capable of leading America and through it the free world. Read about Great Man theory and Grey Champion

Is this some kind of joke? You just listed three of the worst leaders in the world, currently, and probably of this century.

Xi Jinping is a tyrant who clings to power. His legacy will be economic decline, and a rise in the anxiety and fear of his people. Hu Jintao was good for China, Xi, not so much.

Trump is not just the worst current leader in Western civilization, but probably the worst US President in history. His regime has fostered stupidity across the US in the form of MAGA, his trade taxation is working to crush the US economy. Through a combination of greed and incompetence, he has spread greater strife and uncertainty across Western civilization than any Western leader has done since early-mid 20th century. He's hated, because he's not just terrible, but has only injected textbook stupidity into the US policy (See Cipolla's five laws of stupidity, or Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Letters and Papers from Prison to see parallels to the nature of stupidity they criticize)

Putin, do I need to say more? He kills and imprisons his people, sends them off to death in Ukraine. He has created more trouble for the world than any leader currently. He's literally the worst leader in the world right now.
