I must be reading something incorrectly. Certainly I didn&#x27;t hear about these exchanges before. But is it correct that most of the exchanges can be boiled down to &quot;be nice to people&quot;? I always thought politics was based on keeping control of import political powers like media, military, law, food, and money while replacing people in high positions who don&#x27;t work for you with people that you improved to these positions so that they will follow your rule. In some regard that&#x27;s nice, at least to the people you improved, but in another regard it&#x27;s also a selfish business. Can one go to another country, declare oneself as their leader and then just lead by being nice?
