Over the past few months, I have felt that the global political map has changed significantly. In late February, the news that Hamenei was assassinated in a joint operation by the United States and Israel undoubtedly symbolizes the end of an era.
Since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Hamenei has reigned as Iran's Supreme Leader, and for many years, he was considered one of the most notorious dictators by the international community. With the end of that dictatorial regime, even more prominent figures from the camp of globally infamous dictators have disappeared.
Looking back over the past year or more, several individuals have been removed from the list of dictators. Besides Hamenei, former Syrian leader Bashar, and former Venezuelan President Maduro, who once held absolute power, have stepped down from the stage of history.
However, at the same time, there are still dictators who firmly hold state power. These include Russian President Putin, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Belarusian President Lukashenko, and Nicaraguan President Ortega. Their existence demonstrates how complex world politics truly is.
As someone in the investment industry, I constantly monitor geopolitical risks. The collapse of dictatorial regimes directly impacts not only the improvement of the lives of their citizens but also the stability of the global economic system. From the perspective of maintaining world peace, such shifts in power structures are of great significance.
Personally, I hope that the remaining dictators will gradually lose their grip on power and transition to more democratic systems. If that happens, it would be a major positive factor for the entire global economy.
