No. We have much better than her. Great leaders would be like Lee Kuan Yew in Singapore, JFK, Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela.

abdi, The prime minister of Barbados needs to repent, and start reading and believing and following her Holy Bible.

[@justpassingthrough...2492]

I've noticed for years the absence of women leaders in our world. Also I've noticed the sanity and common sense of most nations ruled by women leaders. After all, women protect their families and they do better than men on cooperative issues. Not that men can't be that way, but men with predatory instincts and the competitive urge usually rise first to power in male-dominated nations. PM Mottley illustrates this perfectly.

It will be a disaster if we all end up like Barbados. We are better off with our own leaders in Asia and the West.

This woman was phenomenal in her address to the UN. She spoke a steady stream of fact based truths on the global situation and eloquently so. She pointed out how much the UN charter has slowly shifted farther away from its mandate and how international law has been undermined and is adhered to only when convenient to its UN member states and not consistently and unilaterally. The globe needs to definitely “ reset “ its priorities especially when it comes to climate change and global peace. I would greatly appreciate this articulate, remarkable woman going to bat anytime and anywhere for me. May she continue to shine a light on the inadequacies of the UN, bring awareness to them and seek solutions in the name of the Human Family. Blessings to her, always. Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! 🇨🇦
