At those levels of power, everyone knows each other. Any two pair is an ally or an adversary. There are no strangers like among us plebs. They may or may not be well educated, but they certainly know how to handle power very well. They notice each other well before either starts encroaching into the other's sphere of influence and they start preparing accordingly. At the minimum, their advisors will keep a watch.
In any case, reasonably educated people all over the world are aware of how much these wannabe techno-dictators can interfere in their domestic politics. All those countries have populations large enough to notice their philosophies and flag them to the highest level.
