      Put those murderous maniacs into a room who really want to kill each other instead of dragging other innocent people into it. Would be an improvement.

      But that’s incredibly childish view of the world. Not every world leader is like Putin or Aliyev. A lot of times, the world leader of a country is the voice of reason preventing war. If given the opportunity, mulims in Egypt would massacre the Copetic Christains the first opportunity they can, but Al Sisi is a secular dictator and he’s the one preventing that from happening. Same goes for the Balkans going to war again, as corrupt as their governments are, they’re the reason why they’re not fighting. The different ethnic groups there genuinely hate and want to kill each other. The idea that all wars are a result of evil state leaders is true a lot of times, but pretending that its always the case is a gross oversimplification of the world.
