      You do realise there are a million different approaches in between ‘total appeasement’ and ‘total seizure’, yes?

      We do with them what they do with the rest of the population; give them just about enough that it doesn’t look like a raw deal to people outside this deal, in exchange for taking away their power to destabilise countries. Meanwhile, set up an execution plan for if they step out of line.

      Individually, they can still be a danger (see Donald Trump) but you do not want to see these people coordinate.
