What a complicated world we live in. Tough, messy, cruel, full of dishonesty, hardship and tragedy. Politicians are all the same, they work for themselves, first and foremost. And there are no allies in this world that you can turn to, or if there are, they are unreliable.
Our world reveals how insanely and far removed from the reality of good governance some of our leaders are. It also shows how mediocre the performance of some presidents and prime ministers across the globe is.
Take the North Korean President, Kim Jong-un, for example. He frequently threatens the international community, expresses disdain for the US, hates his South Korean neighbours, is critical of most of his fellow world leaders and is fed up with even the Chinese.
