Compared to Vladimir Putin, I wholeheartedly agree. But he’s not young and the brain doesn’t always fare well with advanced age. Unfortunately, this happens arbitrarily to good and bad people and our science is afaik not yet advanced enough to cure it.
That’s why there should be political processes to lessen the effects of such problems, if they arise. Declaring that one is the president until one’s death is antithetical to such processes.
All this obviously applies to Biden also, but it seems to me that the US democratic process has successfully managed fight against the “forever leader” problem, even through Trump’s attempts to destroy it.
The problem is not the age of the ruler: wisdom is not correlated with age. Hell, i’ve met 15 year old kids who were more mature than politicians. The problem is centralizing power in the hands of select sociopaths, whoever they are.
Irrelevant.
Xi Jinping is a good man
Yes and Barack Obama is a popular hero?! This makes no sense. Both are imperialist assholes who side with the industry against the common people.
Stop it, they don’t care. They like Xi Jinping and Putin.
