Topic: Who is the most powerful politicians? - page 5. (Read 3473 times)

I think the most powerful politician is President Putin. We all heard news about how powerful he is right. I believe he just wants his country to be the best in terms of peace and order. He really puts his country first before himself.

Donald Trump. Leader of the world's only superpower, and while most other countries have a seperate head of state and government, the President is both, and some more.

From my own view  i think is the most powerful politicians because  Donald trump is a master manipulator,  he raised his political career by making false and damaging statements about Barak Obama

I think the most powerful politicians as of now are Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.

Its usually the politicians who are the powerful ones, but rather the ones who financed their campaigns, those are the powerful people in politics, their will is what the presidents and other politicians follow for fear of backlash or whatever they may have on them.

Yeah of course evil jews ... blabla..

#1 Putin

Soros and the Rothschilds

Until they are removed, nobody has any real power.

In my opinion the powerful politicians in the world:
1. Vladimir Putin - President of Russia
2. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan - President of Turkey
3. Angela Merkel - Chancellor of Germany

I would agree with your selection, perhaps not in the same order. And regarding Angela Merkel, she was never in the top 5. How can we call her powerful, when is is forced to follow the orders from the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan?

The most powerful politician in the world as it stands now is Vladimir Putin. Putin's rising prominence, thanks to United States dwindling leadership on the world stage has become an issues of concern to most people across the world. The former KGB appears to be winning on all fronts. He allegedly meddled into USA elections and it is still an ongoing debate. The just concluded G20 meeting proves that Putin is now in control of the world stage.

He's powerful in his own country, but Turkey isn't a power that could pose a threat to the world.
In my understanding the most powerful politician is someone respected and feared all around the world, a bit like Putin. He even managed change his country's laws to be allowed to occupy the position for so long, so he used his position of power to extend his own rule and as a result give himself even more power, and nobody could stop him. Such thing would be normal in a dictatorship, but in a democracy it's terrifying. He's also one of the wealthiest people on the planet and made his wealth while being the president, which tells a lot about the way things are being done in Russia.

probally some 360 degree master of freemason

My vote goes to Vladimir Putin as well. I think his sphere of influence is not only in the European region, but globally as well. And if you are going to look at his political career, he became Prime Minister in 1999-2000. Then he became the President until 2008, then became Prime Minister again until 2012. He then went back to become the President which he held since 2012. I haven't seen any person hold so much grip on power as he is.

All Russian somehow believe in the influence of Vladimir Putin. This is not so. In fact, nothing depends on him. West is now squeezed him in her arms and overthrown by his own Russian oligarchs who have lost access to the money in the West.

The power of a head of state is determined both by the country's strength and the capacity he or she has to exercise that power, unilaterally, unconstrained by other institutions, parties and political forces. And combining those two metrics, it's easy to see why Vladimir Putin rises to the top of list.

Putin has created what he calls a "vertical of power," something unlike any we see in other great nations. As the Russian chess grandmaster Gary Kasparov -- himself a harsh critic of Putin -- has noted, the entire structure of Russian political power rests on one man. When the czar died, you knew the structure that would endure and the process by which his successor, his son, would be elevated. When the general secretary of the Soviet Communist Party died, the Standing Committee and the Politburo would select his successor. But when Putin dies -- I almost wrote if -- what will happen? No one knows.

To understand Putin, you have to understand Russia. The last hundred years for that country have seen the fall of the monarchy, the collapse of democracy, the great depression, World War II with its tens of millions of Russians dead, Stalin's totalitarian brutalities, the collapse of communism, the breakup of the Soviet Union, and Boris Yeltsin's years of chaos and corruption.
Then comes Vladimir Putin, who ushers in stability and, in popular perception, rising standards of living and increasing prominence and respect in the world. That respect is important.

The most influential are the oligarchs who bribe politicians and indicate what they should do, they just do not want to spoil their hands and shine before millions of residents.

You are totally right, the amount of negativity toward president Trump cirtulating through main communication channels and mainstream media is ridiculous.
He is probably the most hated politician by media - which are mostly controlled by left wing socialists.

My Top 3 Most Powerful Politicians In The World 2017:

1. Xi Jinping
2. Vladimir Putin
3. Donald Trump

Honorary mention: Angela Merkel, but since that migrant crisis, she is only losing position more and more.

Some of the biggest right now are all going to be part of the Majority Party, which is obviously in the United States going to be all Republican held things here. So the people are going to have to be Donald Trump (US President), Paul Ryan (Speaker of the House), Mitch McConnell (Senate Majority Leader) which are all highly influential people who are pretty much able to sway a ton in a country.

Maybe not on an individual scale when it comes to the members of congress, but if they're all to work together on something and can get their underlying behind it they can change a lot about a country. Pretty insane to think about if you really just think for a second.

Yes, aside from our Duterte my vote is for the NorKor leader, Kim Jung Un.  I just do not know anything about him but with all what the media reports it seems that he is quite something to be fear of as a leader.  The US is always watching the North Korea leader.  The world is always alarmed whenever the North Korea launches missiles even just to test it.  And if what you said is true that fancy haircut is mandatory for all men on their country, then yes, he is the most powerful.
