Yep. Fuck Putin. Fuck every world leader imaginable. Maybe the only decent one is the king of Lichtenstein. He has pretty much absolute political power and maximizes individual freedom.

The problem is that's the only political structure that may sometimes have a tendency to give freedom. Any system that gives some individuals political power but not absolute political power will have those in power pushed into a game for retaining political power that will make them sacrifice the freedom of others at the drop of a hat to play that game. Machiavelli's "The Prince" applies to Republics just as well.

Where as a king with absolute political security has no purpose to do anything but apply his personal morals. That gives you a 50% or higher chance of a good situation, where as republics are guaranteed to be corrupt and sacrifice the people's freedom, wealth, and security, because you have to be some kind of bad person to gain and retain power in such a system, and use other people's freedom, wealth, and security as exhaustible resources to impress the real people who impact your hold on power.

So the answer is a Europe and America of 10000 Lichtensteins, where people can move with their feet (if they can demonstrate they are a good migrant), and neighborhoods on boarders can democratically realign their sovereignty to reward leaders that promote a good standard of living, given by a 60% vote.

But each Lichtenstein has a constitutional Monarchy where there is no competition for power within it. And wars are seen as illegitimate because people decide boarders, not wars.

So what we do is IQ test all of Europe, and anyone with an IQ above 140 automatically becomes a king. You then space them out a bit but assign them to a cell that corresponds with their origin. Then each cell votes on the conditions of their constitution (what powers their monarch has, he is absolute in that he doesn't have domestic political competition. He has absolute monopoly on political authority, not absolute authority). Then it's on.
