am I the only one who just can't stand blinken for a second?

[ivangpavlovic]

Wow!! That was a massive welcome. To say the least.

[hellohello-cuug]

*continued* - 'Our collective security after WW2 *was based on the idea that* _democracies tended _*_not to_*_ go to war_ against eachother, while *autocracies tend to go to war against democracies* . *That is the pattern* . It does not necessarily predict the future, *but it's a pretty good diagnostic guide* . If you want to understand the *global stakes of what we are facing, then those are the images to show* . '

Afterwards, Kim Jong Un shared his hair secrets with Putin

[mannogroneg]

What so hard to understand, love who loves you simple as that... 🤷🏽‍♂️

[JandiFX]

Putin: You are the Un for me... 🥹 marry me Kim

[hellohello-cuug]

*saw this* - (whoever) considers themselves *Reagan Republicans*, look at these images and explain why somehow or another is in American best interests to supportPutin *against* American Intelligence agencies, *against* American interests, *against* the long-standing (sometimes ambivalent, sometimes unsuccessful, sometimes contradictory) but *Persistent Support of democracies around the world* on the part of the *United States*

No need for a translator when they both speak English

[eddiesavino]

no one wanted to get into the car...lol there like im not gunna get pew pewed first...rofl

[CosmicJourney]

Jong looks like the guy, if u met at a party. You have a good time and crack joke with each other all day

[Finlandia]

tbh I’m not even surprised Russia is begging for help they struggled against almost every country they attempted to invade LOL

[Anurania]

That's a huge benefit for Korea. Russia has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world and their missiles actually work and can reach anywhere on Earth. Korea is now essentially invincible.

[markredmond]

Imagine having to go cap in hand to N Korea. How low can you get?

[russiandog]

This is fair in my opinion. The U.S. kept on supplying Ukraine. So its fair that Russia also supplies North Korea.

[Warrior]

Much needed this type of Collaboration
All credit goes to G7

[victorbarbeau]

If history repeats, neither of those two will live very old.

[dz]

🤣 might aswell use that as toilet paper 🤣

[alphacentauriA]

Sleepy joe America…The world is watching and just waiting for that day in November to make a move 😂

[ChihuiPachihui]

Hey President Putin and Marshal Kim, please don't cause headache to that old man in the White Pig House.

[hellohello-cuug]

*saw this too* - 'We really are *seeing a shift here*, there was a time not so long ago whenRussia *was largely dependent* onGermany and other countries of the European Union *to help fuel their economy* - obviouslyChina has been depending more and more on Europe and the West for quite some time.
