I just finished watching the CNN doc about Putin being the most powerful person in the world. I dunno. I still think the US president has that honor (as much as I dislike him).

I know CNN is at war with Trump, but the doc was pretty good (albeit biased).

Anybody else watch it? Do you think Putin is the most powerful person in the world?

He's essentially the dictator of a nuclear state but he can't take it with him


Haven't seen the doc

I think the US President is limited. He has the legislative and judicial branches to reign in power. And he cant just kill his opposition. So, I wouldn't argue against Putin being the most powerful. He doesn't seem to answer to anyone. He has nukes and probably the 2nd most capable military in the world. Definitely top 5.

They say he's low-key the richest man in the world (as long as he's in power) and he also controls the world's largest nuclear arsenal. He leads an energy superpower. It's not a ridiculous argument to make :ehh:

That title is just a troll attempt at Trump because that title has always been used for President of the US. Trump is getting clowned though.

Nah.

But he's manipulating the fukk out of the current person who is. :wow:

Any country with a nuke is not to be fukked with regardless. It's why others are trying to get theirs. :demonic:

In straight direct power terms I don't see it. Trump still is. Maybe Xi.

Most influential, I think there's a case for. He sets the world conversation at will right now and it's possible he's even played a big hand in setting the political conversation in the US and the UK, possibly France and Germany too.

I think he's currently trying to turn that influence into direct power, but he hasn't been able to move all his pieces yet. He could still be ignored, but the world finds it impossible to look away and not react to his sabre rattling and subversion.

He's close just because he's as closer to having absolute power/dictator level than Trump is because of checks and balances.

He's the worlds richest man though.
