This is the paradox we are living with now. More people are actually starving to death, dying from global warming, bad water (especially children drinking polluted water and dying within 2 weeks from dehydration) than anything else now.
So, when we talk about how bad the world is, less people tend to be dying now from war between nations or factions than ever before since about 1900 now.
More people are dying in drug wars between cartels and from global warming and from accidents and from overdose of opioids but actually dying in wars is less than at any time since 1900. Double check me if you don't believe me by studying the actual facts on the ground worldwide.
I think this is one reason why we are seeing strongmen like Erdogan and Duterte and Putin and Trump come into play (even though I don't see Trump as a strongman but only as a bully actually), mostly because Putin owns Trump. So, how can Trump be a strongman if Putin is blackmailing our president. Trump is weak not strong because of Putin. Trump belongs to Putin. Trump is weak and likely the weakest president in this sense of the 20th or 21st century.
But, to the world Trump is the scariest president likely ever that they have seen in their lifetimes. Even though to me Nixon was the scariest president I have seen so far. But, then again that's a paradox too because he prevented war with China which would have happened by now by creating trade between China and the U.S.
I think that Trump (if he pulls it off) might be seen a little like Nixon in that he might be able to create some kind of Trade balance with China like Nixon did.
Trump and Nixon might have this factor in common that they found a way to deal with China, even if it was temporary for both.
But, we need to wait and see what actually happens at this point.
At this point Trump is losing it completely, and human rights will be lost completely here on earth unless he is stopped in what he is doing soon.
