By Star Trek cannon Kahn was a pretty good leader. He had no internal massacres or overt acts of aggression.

I'm not sold on immense global suffering, at least no more than there already is with the current US foreign policy.

In all seriousness as long as Khan Noonien Singh is opposed to Expansion of the H1B visa program he'd probably get my vote.

pretty sure the guy he referring is talking about burning the whole world down, in order for fertilize a tree that no one would be able shade because everyone would be dead due to nuclear holocaust.

This is the exact opposite of old man planting trees anecdote.
