[...] some have leaderships which are aggressive on a political (Cold war Era Russia) or nationalist agenda (China and Modern Russia),or personal aggrandisment (Saddam Hussein's Iraq).

Don't forget Capitalist agendas (such as a group of wealthy businessmen and plantation owners conspired with the U.S. army to overthrow the lawful queen of the nation of Hawaii, Queen Liliuokalani.

(And I'm pretty sure Trump can be seated next to Saddam Hussein at the "Personal aggrandizement" table... You've heard that he's demanding the Pentagon put on a full scale military parade in his honor, right, to march down Pennsylvania Avenue?)
