Foreign Policy and GDP rating

The top-News from the sea-Ocean flashed with joyful news that, they say, our President Vladimir Putin was recognized as the most influential politician on the planet that Vladimir Vladimirovich headed the rating drawn up, as our media wrote, "an authoritative American magazine Foreign Policy."

However, American pen workers who made this fresh rating, as they say, in every fireman, “first place of the rating” formally left empty. According to the publication, the scale of the problems that are now facing the world is so great that any person cannot cope with them.

It was also reported that followed by Vladimir Putin in the ranking are the head of the US Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke, Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel, the President of the United States Barack Obama. Political scientists consider such a distribution of places logical.

Honestly, the authority of the policy in the country is determined not by these ratings. A striking example is the same Gorbachev, whose ratings go over in the West, but in his own country he has a very disrespectful status.

But, the most amazing thing is that the incorruptible and “authoritative American publication”, it is also the Foreign Policy magazine, literally the very next day began to refute itself, his information that his editors recognized Vladimir Putin as the most influential politician of the world. According to them, if they had a similar list, it would be headed by an American. This is understandable who else can lead the list of an American democratic publication, as not a representative of this democratic country, one might say, a representative of the United States democracy of the whole earth!

Looking through the rapid discussion of these news on social networks and on the Internet forums, for some reason I remembered the old Odessa joke:

- Haim, have you heard the news?

- Well?

- An elephant was born in the zoo!

- And how will this affect Jews?

Let the respected American comrades democracy to the spinal cord leave this honorary title. Do we need it?! We can say that we have the largest number of democrats per capita with Ukraine.

As they say in Odessa, we will have a sho we will have Foreign Policy from this rating?!
