Leaders of the ‘Free World’: the joke is on them
The men and women hoping to become the next President of the U.S. appear to spend as much time demonstrating their ignorance of the world, as they do their political credentials. But as RT’s Anastasia Churkina found out, that could just be a reflection of society.

In essence, the decision in a democratic society is made by the majority voting. If the people appeared on the above video constitute the majority of the US voters, what quality of democracy they have now?
Plato discussed the philosopher king. Karl Popper was against Plato’s idea. See Popper’s “Open Society and Its Enemies” that was written when Nazi’s advance was going on during WWII while Popper was in exile. But if Popper saw the video above, what would he say? I believe that even Plato was for democracy but he was probably fed up with his people in Athens then. What quality of democracy did they have at that time? You can imagine that.
Now the similar quality of democracy is in the US? Besides, the US is teaching “democracy” to developing countries, including Iraq and Afghanistan. What kind of “democracy” is the US teaching to these countries? The qualifications of the teacher of democracy are questioned. Are those who cannot swim well qualified to be swimming teachers in the US, for instance?
