I'm a biographer of Trump and Musk, and wrote 5 books—several bestsellers—in which Putin is a key figure. My assessment: it's a three-way tie between these men for Most Dangerous Person Alive. No one else comes close. Stunning, given that Thiel, Altman, Karp, Luckey, Hegseth, and Xi Jinping exist.

This is all hands on deck! Pneumatic plague is airborne and nearly always fatal if untreated. Wiped out 150 million, half of Europe, way back when. Treatable with antibiotics, but we don't have enough antibiotics. Also from a lab in Russia, where they still have weaponized plague. Total nightmare.
