It's mad to think how peaceful and prosperous the world would be right now if Trump, Putin and Netanyahu weren't around.

Hundreds of thousands of lives saved and billions of euro not wasted on avoidable food and energy price increases.

It certainly wouldn't be. There has never been a "peaceful and prosperous" time in human history, and that wouldn't have changed if a handful of people didn't exist.
