I interpret "dangerous" as what soneone can actually do. By this metric the leaders of the United States and China re the most dangerous people in the world. They posees thousands of nuclear weapons. No one else even comes close.

In makkng the determination, I think it best to start with capabilities tgen looking at intentions recognizing intentions can always change.

Of course to a South Korean the North Korean leader is the most dangerous person in their world.
