Easily violated old men

What world do we want to have?

In one country people vote for a president who is proven to be a big liar.
Changing his opinion of how the wind is blowing. 
A couple of weeks ago he thought Putin was a "smart" guy when he started the war against Ukraine, now he is taking the credit for Ukraine's strong defense.

A shallow person who thinks politics is like business, and a game you play. 
With a "politic" far from the best for the country, and The people living there. 
Thinking and saying that all with a criticism of his way of leading the country are fake News and condemn the News trying to expose his lies. 
Still, people think he is the greatest, a leader with no future in mind. Doesn't believe there is a climate problem. A man who didn't think covid was a problem. Who encouraged people to attack the Capitol.

A populist, protectionist, isolationist, and nationalist.
A guy who, to an unprecedented degree in American politics, made several false and deceptive remarks during his campaigns and presidency, and developed conspiracy theories. Many of his statements and acts have been labeled as racially tinged or racist, and many have been labeled as misogynistic.
A man falsely claimed extensive electoral fraud and attempted to overturn the results by putting pressure on government officials, filing a slew of fruitless court challenges, and impeding the presidential transition.

And people believe in him! And you know who I mean.

On the other side of the world we have a man, with a strong paranoia and now with a dictator's mind destroying the lives of people on a whole continent. His own country and other countries. Starting a war of shitty reasons, children in a sandbox play that game, but then they grow up and stop playing the game. He hasn't.

Those two were kind of friends. Or, more correct, one admired the other and thought they were friends. The other, now a war leader, used their "friendship".

People like those are leading their country. Isn't that amazing? And people vote for them. Okay, in one country they didn't have so many choices.
