The remainder of his presidency will see the ascendency of the powers for harm in the world. Russia, Iran, North Korea.
By what measure are these countries the powers of harm in the world?

How many people have been killed by them?
We might not like them for their Statements/positions and whom they support but when looking at the boring facts, it is not so easy to prove that they are the worst aggressors and the true evil out there.
Unfortunately in the last 10 years other Nations have been much more agressive in using Military force upon other Nations (even if we assume good intentions).
And if we look at who supports really dangerous/evil (by our standards) groups, we unfortunately can't deny that 'friendly' middle eastern countries belong to the worst offenders in that regard.
Your picture of the World appears to be enviably simplistic.
