All people who want to be supreme leaders should also be given the title of head guillotine tester, with excellent promotion prospects to beheaded guillotine tester.

Führer
Lord Protector
Caliph
Pope
Gadhafi just went by “Colonel,” didn’t he?

The only thing I’m thankful for is that evil lately seems to be incredibly obvious and stupid.
Putin is human garbage

Putin… the richest man on Earth. Trump’s hero.
This is what Trump aspires to. Total control and an oligarchical kleptocracy.

That doesn’t stop it from being dangerous. We need to keep united against it.

Trump and Putin will eventually merge together and be called “World Control”, as when Dr. Forbin’s Colossus and the Soviet’s Guardian hooked up.

I learned most of my history during in school suspensions, since they did not think someone could enjoy reading all day.
Nowadays they’d probably charge me with battery and ship my ass to a for profit group home if I dared punch out a bully.
All children are left behind by the current system, either by being too busy to think or because they can barely breathe with the boot on their neck.
We will regret not teaching an entire generation about the Holocaust, East Germany’s Stasi, or that anyone who identifies both as a nationalist and a socialist is incredibly dangerous.

Probably doesn’t work in the context of the ongoing marriage of convenience between the state and the Orthodox Church.
They certainly aren’t going to demand any actually inconvenient adherence to theoretically important Christian principles so long as Caesar continues to provide them with such perks; but if you want to keep the local church on side you can’t really go any further than allowing it to be broadly claimed that you are chosen and/or anointed by God. Claims to personally be God are just a little too overt.

I don’t see that particular combination resulting in dramatic breakthroughs in mathematics or a strict-but-potentially-defensible-on-radically-utilitarian-grounds foreign and domestic policy coming out of the fusion you propose.
Colossus wasn’t exactly all heart; but it was likely a stable genius(a testament to Dr. Forbin’s skill; given that vacuum tube computers that are deliberately sealed away from maintenance techs would normally be expected to have a MTBF somewhat less than that of unrefrigerated sushi…)
