Top 10 Worst World Leaders
He is the great corruptor, using his wealth to gain permanent power. Additionally, he is making concerted efforts to control all aspects of power within the democratic system, including the parliament, government, and courts, by modifying the existing constitution to benefit himself and his relatives.
He killed over 2,000 innocent people in the fight against drugs. He betrayed his own country by persuading a neighboring country to invade the northeastern part of Thailand solely for his personal petroleum investment business.
This list is stupid. The fact that people are really putting some random Thai businessman over unanimously agreed genocidal maniacs like Adolf Hitler and Genghis Khan is crazy.
Let me sum it up for you. This man triggered the deadliest war in human history and committed mass genocide, wiping out millions of people.
Not only that, but he endangered the people of his own country by being too greedy. His decision to invade the Soviet Union led to Eastern Germany being affected for decades.
His awful leadership and racist tendencies make him easily one of the most evil leaders in all of human history. Few will ever top him.
In terms of administration, he was effective at times. However, his rule was utterly immoral. He was responsible for the deaths of 20 million people, many of whom were his own. He sent people to gulags, purged the army, and was intolerant of opposition.
He tried to justify this with communist ideology, but he lived his life with affluence and indulgence. He gave no power to the people, which was the fundamental premise of Marxism. He was very critical of Hitler when it suited him but was happy enough to deal with Hitler to partition Poland and maintain non-aggression with Germany. However, he never expected Hitler to keep the promise and used the bought time to rebuild his army after having purged it of officers. Therefore, it was only because Hitler was already at war with the Allies that liberal democracies worked with Stalin. Perhaps this is why he is never considered first when thinking about the worst leader in history, while Hitler usually is.
Yeah, it's pretty obvious. This man will literally kill people for looking at him wrong. He forces the people of his country to worship him as a god. He is ruthless, greedy, and cruel.
How about we put a border and a roof over his country so he can't get to us? We could put a secret passage so all of his citizens can feel freedom for once.
Who knows how long he'll stay in office? It doesn't look like we'll see his successor for a few decades. He remains a leader by silencing his opponents. He and his associates must indoctrinate their citizens in order to survive.
One wrong move, and the whole family goes to prison for backbreaking labor. All the media is propaganda. He ensures that all citizens avoid foreign influences, including those from South Korea. He keeps launching missiles until the USA is destroyed. He has no regard for innocent civilians.
I believe he'll remain the North Korean Workers' Party Secretary until his death. He's not stopping anytime soon.
She is now one of Thailand most wanted Fugitives... read more
The most foolish Thai, she is the only leader who has visited more than 50 countries around the world within 2 years.
She is inept in both Thai and English languages.
She is a puppet of her brother.
In all of human history, this man has killed more of his own people (in terms of percentage) than almost any other leader. His system of slaughtering the people of his own country was vile. This man was so disgusting that the people who put him in power, the Vietnamese, had to invade Cambodia and remove him from power. This man is simply evil.
Hello, my name is Pol Pot. My real name is Saloth Sar, but I changed it to Pol Pot because the Pot in Pol Pot represents my reign: useless and dangerous. I killed millions of my own people because they were autistic, wore glasses, were smart, etc. I wanted to become a communist just like my idol Mao Zedong, but I did very poorly at it. Nobody in Cambodia is allowed to eat. We should learn from our relatives and make food for ourselves. The food we currently have is stored in the warehouses I stole from US President Richard Nixon. I send anyone who doesn't comply to Genocide Areas where they are executed in a slow and painful manner. I am the biggest idiot in the world, and I will turn America into the Stone Age, just like Cambodia. This has been Pol Pot, and I will see you soon.
"Baby come back, any kind of fool could see, there was something in everything about you... baby come back, you could blame it all on me, I was wrong and I just can't live without you..."
You know those old YouTube videos where North Korean soldiers march to pop songs from the '70s and '80s? Maybe I could use that song and edit it over scenes from Kim Jong-il's funeral, poking fun at the brainwashed citizens who were forced to cry or else face execution. There's nothing to cry about - he was an absolute monster, just like his successor.
This is about worst world leaders, not most evil people. Hitler, although evil and insane, knew how to run a country very well. Saddam did not know how to run a country. Plus, he was insane, evil, and all-around a pretty bad guy.
I mean, come on, his name means "The Destroyer," which his mother named him because his birth took longer than usual and was more painful than usual. This is what his leadership ended up being.
The maniac who invaded Iran and Kuwait and said, "Jews, Persians (Iranians), and flies are useless," deserves to be at the top of this list.
Wow, the new Chinese republic seemed to start well with him, but it quickly went downhill. The Cultural Revolution is the dumbest thing that ever happened. People are killing each other. Anything not from China is considered impure, like pianos and healthy diets. The "Hong Wei Bing" (Red Guard in English) goes around China and wrecks everything. All the culture, manners, and peace disappeared in a flash. This probably explains why some Chinese have terrible manners nowadays, and why people harbor hatred towards China.
He is good friends with Thaksin. These guys know only how to make money and provide benefits for their family and friends, who return the benefits, by taking advantage of the country.
He's an idiot. Everything he does is not for the country but for his family and followers' wealth only. He tries to take ownership of the country, much like Thaksin does with Thailand. He leaves a large number of people poor and uneducated in rural areas while his family and close relations become richer and wealthier.
Killer, mass murderer, monster. And that's just Ukraine. Most following him say he was like that before. What he always does - brutal, such as to other eastern countries (was it Georgia?) - is evident here. Even the anti-war activists, who, while right, attack Ukraine, Russia's victim, and applaud Russia, even THEY are quieting down as they see the mass civilian deaths and crimes against humanity by Vladimir Putin. I guess sleeping at night isn't a concern for psychopaths and all those who follow him, called Russians and western retards.
He lied to America to drag it into a war that killed hundreds of thousands of non-combatants and traded those human lives for money so he and his friends could get richer off of death. That is evil in my opinion. There were zero weapons of mass destruction! When he became President, the US economy was great and had a government surplus. When he finished with us, we had the worst economy since the Great Depression and the highest unemployment, yet he and all his buddies were richer than ever.
Before 9/11, President George "Duped-Ya" Bush never lifted a finger against al-Qaeda, Bin Laden, any of the hijackers, or any terrorists anywhere. There is no record of his administration taking a single aggressive act against OBL and his terrorist organization.
Before 9/11, he did order American military forces facing al-Qaeda to stand down, calling back the submarines that could launch cruise missiles. He proclaimed, "I didn't want a cruise missile flying up a camel's butt."
Before 9/11, he ordered the discontinuation of Predator drone surveillance and hunting of OBL and al-Qaeda, fearing a downed drone would make for bad publicity on CNN.
A true puppet of Thaksin, selfish and ignorant of the well-being of the nation.
Nonsense, man, like a cow just walking, following Thaksin, same as Yingluck!
Corrupt and a puppet of Thaksin.
He somehow managed to ruin the country with the biggest oil reserves on the planet during the pinnacle of the oil bonanza. Also, he immersed Venezuela in a criminal rampage. Only in the capital, more than 100 people are murdered on the streets per week.
You don't know how bad this man was. Corruption is everywhere. They took our oil export money and the money they stole from us, and then split it between them and his puppet master Fidel Castro. There is not a single aspect he improved in 14 years.
He made two coups before people somehow elected him president. His goon and successor, Nicolás Maduro, is as bad as him, except he's stupider. He was a bus driver! Venezuela is drowning because of this man.
He should be number 2, along with his son and grandson. North Korea is one of the worst and most dangerous countries to live in. The Kim family has made North Korea a living hell.
Founded the living hell known as North Korea, complete with brainwashing, concentration camps, guilt by association, and worst of all, Juche, which doesn't work. HE IS A MONSTER!
He got his country into a war and created an evil ideology based on Stalinism. Also, he was treated as a god while being an atheist.
People focus too much on the most recent events. Case in point: Vlad the Impaler. He was way worse than the majority of the other people on this list.
This dude should be in the top 5. He literally impaled his own citizens and cut off women's breasts, forcing the men to eat them. That is just as bad as Hitler and Stalin.
I guess this guy drinks, or rather sucks, blood from people. This is the reason we have the fictional character Dracula that we recognize today.
He took advantage of his country being in abject poverty and flaunted his wealth while others suffered. He did nothing for his people's good. Good riddance.
Robert Mugabe is a violent dictator who justifies his actions by blaming events that happened hundreds of years ago as an excuse for hyperinflation, poor economic growth, misuse of government funds for lavish purposes, and violent military action against civilians.
Death squads, hyperinflation, racial discrimination, huge corruption - this guy ticks all the boxes for a terrible leader.
This guy is way worse than Hitler. At least Hitler had a reason (a stupid one) to kill the Jews, but this man killed 500,000 of his own people and had no reason. He was the military leader of Uganda, embarrassed the British, and declared himself the CBE (Conqueror of the British Empire). He executed foreign journalists and made it look like an accident. They killed all their good soldiers and then declared war on a much larger country than themselves: Tanzania. Tanzanian troops took over Uganda, and Idi Amin was overthrown. Then he fled to Saudi Arabia and sought asylum there. He died on August 6, 2003, and his country celebrated when they heard he had died.
He should be at the top of this list. He displaced one-third of the population and caused almost 200,000 to be killed. He also destroyed and bombarded several cities, to name just a few reasons.
Yeah, why isn't he first on the worst world leaders list? He's killed a lot of people and displaced many citizens of the country he's ruling. He's the scum of the earth.
He quite literally destroyed his own country just to stay in power. He would have been ousted years ago had it not been for Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah bending over backwards to save him.
I come from an area of the United States with a high Korean-Chinese ethnic population. Every time I stay at a friend's house, I would see his or her parents watching Xi Jinping speaking out in public. Everyone believes him, while all my friend's parents can do is either watch in horror or try to throw something at the TV.
Many ethnic Chinese people flee their own country for a reason. It's because of the state China is in at the moment with Chairman Xi. He's basically turning the country into a North Korea Lite Edition, such as cutting China off from the rest of the world, endlessly persecuting ethnic minorities like the Uyghurs and the Kaifeng Jews, aiming to create a Han Chinese ethnostate, censoring free speech, mass surveillance, etc. If China's going to be the world's superpower, then God help us...
He purposely makes it look like he is going to attack the U.S. Then, when the U.S. tries to stop them, they accuse them of invasion (which they did to protect their country) and theft. Cuba was an okay country before him. Now, it's an obsolete, garbage country.
The best cars to date are those that were made in the 50s in the U.S. There are no computers or laptops. People still drive carriages and wagons, and the whole country is nothing but a slum thanks to him.
And now his little brother is ruling this country. Free Cuba, North Korea, or any other countries that are still in these types of governments.
He is sick and did not deserve anything.
Used Congo as his personal playground, had the hobby of cutting the Congoleze's hands of if he did not like them,...
He is satanic. There is zero justification for the mass murder of tens of thousands in a dense urban enclave, willfully allowing an attack to happen on his country, and continuing a brutal occupation for this long. It dumbfounds me how much support he has in the US.
He is insane. He is not only the most corrupt leader in the world, but he is also known as the Man Killer. In the last few years, he has killed about 35,000 innocent Palestinian people.
Many Jewish leaders are being carried off by him. He is such a brutal man. He banned all the media who are against him. He is a great evil and should face the death penalty.
The man that got away with mass murder, along with his mate George W. Bush. The only reason they got away with it was because of the countries they led: the UK and US.
He proceeded to do what even Maggie "Satan's Ex" Thatcher would not even think of doing, such as destroying the NHS by making them Trusts, among other things. The list of crimes against the people of the (Dis)United Kingdom is only just beginning to be exceeded by the present corrupt, moronic imbeciles of today's government.
He's the biggest con artist to run the United Kingdom. He is a man of cheap soundbites: 'education, education, and education', 'tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime'. He failed on both (education was dumbed down and crime got worse with more youth gangs and foreign criminals, i.e., from Labour's Mass Immigration Policy).
