caligula is by far my favorite emperor, for his treatment of the roman senate.
i wish we had a president that would treat our senate similarly or worse.
but, as for non-ancient leaders, duterte seems to be going well. while i don't agree with the death penalty, you gotta clean the streets if the trash piles too high. he's got the strength to do what is needed.
That possibility exists, but I doubt it is one these people are very worried about, which is why I'm not willing to paint them as heroic martyrs.

Short version. You despise the powerful for being powerful and really wish the Jews would just commit suicide and let the Arabs annihilate them so we can finally have "peace" in the ME.
Same can be said about Hitler he got a lot of stuff done and when he was finished he opened the gas chambers for selected individuals so no Putin wouldn't be what you describe as a good leader.
That Canadian bloke seems level headed, I have heard good things about the current PM of India and the PM of Japan is respected and popular.

I wasn't thinking of something that small qualifying as a nation, but if he counts, sure, count me in for that too. As far as I can tell, the most christian pope in a while. That may not make him a perfect person, but it makes him a good example for people to follow, and that's good enough for me.
I feel like this thread isn't complete without someone stating "I'm having an Aleppo moment"

"There is only one power which really counts. The power of political pressure. We Jews are the most powerful people on earth, because we have this power, and we know how to apply it." -- Jewish Daily Bulletin, July 27th, 1935
The first Jewish declaration of war was pronounced on March 24, 1933, one day after Adolf Hitler was democratically elected by the German people through a parliamentary vote.
"By using the new atheist exile politics they [the Zionists] provoked and increased anti-Semitism in Europe which led to the Second World War . . . The worldwide boycott against Germany in 1933 and the later all-out declaration of war against Germany initiated by the Zionist leaders and the World Jewish Congress enraged Hitler so that he threatened to destroy the Jews . . ." (Rabbi Schwartz, New York Times, Sep. 30, 1997.
THE EFFECT ON THE GERMAN ECONOMY
Between January and April 1933, Germany's exports dropped by 10%. As the boycott organised by world Jewry spread, German trade was hit particularly hard and during the first quarter of 1933, Germany's vital exports were less than half its 1932 trade.
"When the Reich could no longer pay its obligations, Germany would go bankrupt." -- Edwin Black, Jewish writer/author, The Transfer Agreement, (p.185)
". . . if exports fell too low, Germany as a nation would again be faced with starvation." -- Edwin Black, Jewish writer/author, The Transfer Agreement
"How many months could Germany survive once the boycott became global, once commerce was re-routed around Germany? The boycotters adopted a slogan, 'Germany will crack this winter'." -- Edwin Black, Jewish writer/author, The Transfer Agreement, (p.188)
These declarations of war against what was undeniably a friendly state and a democratically elected government, caused the German people to react by calling for a one day boycott (April 1st, 1933) of Jewish businesses and goods.
IN THE INTERESTS OF BALANCE
In the interests of fairness and balance it should be stated with equal emphasis that Jewish opposition to Hitler's Germany was far from being as universal as Zionist organisations will openly admit to. In Germany itself, Jewish organisations who through their close proximity to events, knew that acts of anti-Semitism were blown up out of all proportion by Jews abroad in an effort to justify the boycotts, and issued many protests:
"To the Embassy of the United States:
"We became aware of the propaganda in your country about alleged cruelties against the Jews in Germany. We therefore consider it our duty, not only in our own interests as German patriots, but also for the sake of truth, to comment on these incidents.
"Mistreatments and excesses have indeed occurred, and we are far from glossing these over. But this is hardly avoidable in any kind of revolution. We attach great significance to the fact that these authorities, where it was at all possible to interfere, have done so against outrages that have come to our knowledge. In all cases, these deeds were committed by irresponsible elements who kept in hiding. We know that the government and all leading authorities most strongly disapprove of the violations that occurred.

Otto von Bismarck. Currently, no one, but Trump in 2 months.
Justin Trudeau seems like a solid PM. Also Putin, despite being a prick of a person, cos he gets shit done.
Putin, of course
