Trump-Putin-Xi-Modi: mind the right perspective

Political discussions about global politics circle around big names like Trump, Putin, Xi Jinping, or . Leaders are humans and die eventually or end their term in office. Countries and their people outlive any king or political leader by generations. Kings or political leaders are kept on the throne or voted into office by the people of a nation.
