There Are Some Truly Decent Heads of State, But They’re a Bit Hard to Find

This quote from Volodymyr Zelensky reminds us that if we’re looking for heads of state who are actually decent human beings, go to out-of-the way places that are fairly inconsequential in terms of international politics and commerce, e.g., New Zealand, Iceland, and Scandinavia.  If you’re trying to find some true monsters, on the other hand, look in the big places: Russia, China, or the United States.
