One slightly good thing
Putin has been spending tremendous energy to insure that Russia's government will continue to serve Russia.
As of this month he's got the futurestructure** built, so he's relaxing a bit.
AMLO has been doing the same on a much smaller scale for Mexico and Central America, setting up organizations to train competent non-interventionist leaders.
The opposite side is NOT paying attention to developing the future. UK/USA/EU are locked in a completely pointless and purposeless struggle of everyone against everyone. Parkinson is the only law.
[See page 3 of this version.] Leaders want to forbid all competition, so they guarantee that NOBODY is ready to take over. The top monsters, Hillary and Adelson and Bezos and Soros and Zuckerberg, have no successors at all. Each monster believes that he is the entire universe, and wants the universe to collapse when he's done.

** I'm sure there must be an existing word for this concept, but I can't think of it. The organizational equivalent of physical infrastructure, laying the foundations and creating a mold for future expansion of culture and population and economy.
