RE: Putin and Trump: Visionaries?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Perhaps, in this particular case, an overabundance of information makes me less accommodating and less willing to compromise. I am in the know of some (behind the scenes) narrative how Putin have seized the power, so... —no, I refuse to consider him a visionary. Yes, he is the "leader" of a vast country, and yes, he wields a very large club—and by wielding it, he has achieved impressive results. But no.

Perhaps I was too subtle: There is nothing about Putin or Trump I admire. I have disdain for them. I try not to hate anyone, because hatred is a powerful force, like war, that causes great harm. As we look around, we can see what hatred does, has done. It takes over.
Perhaps the title of my blog is misleading. Genghis Khan had a vision for himself as a leader and for the people he led, as did Pol Pot. Only in that sense do I use (perhaps misuse?) the word visionary.
BTW: I really appreciate your feedback because of your unique perspective.
