Who is the Leader of the Free World?

[Lord Halifax]

Who is the Leader of the Free World atm?

[brucejoel99]

Probably Merkel.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

It doesn't exist.

[𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆]

The only leader of The Free World I know was called Papa Doc and had his arse beaten by B-Rabbit in 2002.

[Lord Halifax]

Please don't vote "Someone else" without specifying who it is.

[ctrepublican512]

No one

[CumbrianLefty]

Please don't vote "Someone else" without specifying who it is.

Saint Jacinda

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Never did.

It's a small world, after all.

Merkel is probably the closest thing, but everything's very scattered. It's not Trump, but it'll likely return to being Biden soon enough.

[brucejoel99]

It doesn't exist.

Never did.

On the contrary, it certainly might've been a fitting description for the likes of FDR, Truman, & Eisenhower. But those days are long gone.

Three words - Guatemalan Civil War.

Germany has the largest GDP and the most people in the EU, so they have a lot of soft power. They need to increase their military spending so that their GDP matches their military potential. Merkel is the leader of the free world now.

Trump is buddies with Putin, and has taken a hostile stance to long time NATO allies, disgusting. It is going to take decades to recover from Trump's foreign policy.

That coup in 1954 remains one of the nastiest, sneakiest tricks the US pulled anywhere.

(and all to appease the United Fruit Company, who soon went into decline anyway)

Agreed. And don't forget the Iranian coup at the same time, which maybe irreparably damaged the concept of secular democracy in Iran. I guess that's "freedom" for ya.

Mossadegh and Arbenz were both dirty commies, tho

(one thing many won't now know, most of the mullahs supported the former's removal)

[dead0man]

There isn't one.

[CumbrianLefty]

There isn't one.

There are several?

[dead0man]

There isn't one.

There are several?

<not sure if attempt at a semantic "gotcha" or an honest question>
sure, but there are always are several so that's not saying much.  Usually there is a "top" one, which is what the poll is about.  One of the options was "no one", I was just posting that that's the one I voted for.

[JGibson]

Merkel.

[LAKISYLVANIA]

Whether you like it or not, Trump.

[CumbrianLefty]

There isn't one.

<not sure if attempt at a semantic "gotcha" or an honest question>

Both, possibly?

[Mr. Illini]

If defined as the NATO leader most interested and influential in strengthening liberal democratic institutions, with the ability to speak for the alliance at large, of course it is Merkel. The US is currently a half-member to these alliances with Trump interested in other things. It will be Biden once he is elected. Shortly thereafter, Merkel is retiring, and the most likely backup then becomes Macron in the absence of American leadership.

[vitoNova]

Merkel is the last of the 3 Wise Ones.
