World leadership will change through a democratic process, not a totalitarian oil state, or whatever Russia considers itself these days.

I'm not going to argue the point that the US has not been party to some heinous crimes of late, it has, although genocide is the wrong term. However, these crimes are in the open, discussed, and the fuel for change. You haven't seen, but the soldier rapists and murders are being tried publically and found guilty. How much coverage does the genocide in the Sudan get in China? Or Chechnya in Russia?

Could we be having this conversation there? Could true political change ensue from it?

It is only fear of the future that compels a state to forbid freedom and yoke its citizen under the hand of a single ideology. The world needs saving from that fear more than it needs a democratic president, but hopefully we get both soon.
