Yeah, no way Putin is so low nowadays
You can tell because it uses his old portrait rather than his current supervillain one.
You mean his toddler doing doodies?
And, Kim Jong Un is higher on the list than Putin.
To be fair, Kim Jong Un could easily an order, what he thinks is a limited response to South Korea fucking around, which they’ve been doing, which would lead to a somewhat automatic chain of events that could end all life on Earth in nuclear hellfire. And this all could happen in less than 30 minutes.
And Putin could nuke Ukraine or invade Eastern Europe, leading to nuclear hellfire.
Russia is without a doubt a bigger and more realistic threat compared to NK.
Putin could end the world, yes. But that would be a deliberate choice to end the world.
And the scenario I hinted at does require Russian nukes, but it doesn’t require a North Korean nuke to start things. A conventional missile on the wrong trajectory is more than enough.
Putin has already done that and the chain of events are rolling. Which have lead to currently around 1 million dead Europeans, and counting.
Putin would play a part in the scenario. he has recently reiterated that Russian nukes are still Launch on Warning.
But there’s A difference between a monster waging a war of naked aggression and the end of all life on Earth due to a system built by lunatics and monsters in the 1950s.
Perfect and thanks. I’ll leave this pinned at the top since it provides context.
Shocking Putin’s actually that low really.
Its from 2019
putin is more or less neutered by the war with ukraine, but on the propaganda front they are winning.
This is more a poll on people’s opinions than on reality. Although I do agree with Trump being top right now.
People aren’t really scared of Russia at the moment, they’ve kind of played their hand with Ukraine and although no one’s really happy about the war, no one’s seriously concerned it’s going to spill over into anything else. Which is probably inaccurate, Putin seems like the sort to pick a fight that he knows he’ll lose just out of spite. But it hasn’t happened yet.
Putting Kim Jong Un in front like that is silly, North Korea holds such a small amount of power it’s ridiculous.
Absolutely absurd to think North Korea is a bigger threat than china and russia combined.
In 2018 China seemed only a threat to Taiwan and Russia seemed only a threat to Georgia. But yeah, still crazy numbers. The really absurd thing is that there is not a single pandemic virus in the list.
Pandemic viruses aren’t world leaders, to be fair.
RFK jr?
No obviously, also weren’t a direct threat to world peace either. Kind of meant to say, what the hell did we know about the situation in 2026 8 years ago.
I think a big part is NK postures like a threat, but often only meddles in its own affairs in the grand scheme of things. Russia is actively waging a war against Ukraine and China has been provoking trade wars and digital spying/manipulatation.
I also think NK size and posturing actually makes the world more ready to deal with them than the other 2 countries. NK is a much smaller nation to monitor than russia or china and since it pretty much only plays hostile, everyone is already a little on edge with them whereas both russia and china want to play by the rules most of the time but can be risky to trust.
However I’m just a guy on the internet and I certainly have a flawed view of these countries and the whole geopolitical situation so maybe NK actually deserves 30% in reality.
I think if they had polled experts instead of regular people the result would have been closer to your expectations. I wonder how much desinformation plays a role in these numbers, since China and Russia put much more effort in influencing foreign individuals. They are certainly more able to be a threat to world peace, both now and in 2018.
the us has been provoking those trade wars.
I think it mostly stems from people thinking that North Korea would actually be crazy enough to launch nukes.
