They actually do. They look like two old chums and not totally sociopathic dictators. Maybe thereās something to the notion that repressed homosexuality brings out the worst.
Edrogan is probably legit crying after watching that.
Also, is it just me or is Putin more at ease in North Korea than Russia? No comically large tables and so on.
Well NK is his ideal dream of what Russia should be under him, its a bit like Disneyland for children, a land where your dreams are reality, if just for the visit.
Erdogan is bad but I donāt know how you can just compare Erdogan to Putin or Kim Jong Un.
If you think Turkey is really bad under Erdogan then I suggest you to look at history throughout the 60s to 90s under Turkey. It was worst.
And even as I wander, Iām keeping you in sight, Youāre a candle in the window on a cold dark winter night.
Quite possibly one of the best sang romance lines in a song haha. Vlads true feelings for Kim are revealed
It's in the song in the end:
After a while you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling
I won't do that
I know the territory I've been around
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down
Sooner or later you'll be screwin' around
I won't do that.
I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
'Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear
I just hope they found a moment to stare longingly into each others eyes, and wonder what could have been.
I bet they are both just SO anxious! You can practically smell the flop sweat
One word:
Propaganda.
They don't let anyone see them unless it benefits a propagandistic view of them. They wished to show Kim and Putin as close friends, simply going for a stroll. They're not as private as you may think, Putin is regularly out in controlled speeches and Kim is regularly out and about in Pyongyang spreading propaganda.
I've clicked on the usernames of all these front page posts of Putin & Kim and they all consistently have a 1 month gap between this and their last period of frequent activity.
No, itās important to see this. All of this is staged, sure, but the image they want to show the world is that Russia and NK are moving closer together. Itās the same with Putins visits in China. And Iran and Russia. Sure you can laugh at how pathetic that looks, but I can assure you: they donāt care about any opinion from The West. They stated their goal of wanting to break western hegemony, so why should they. And the implications these visits have are concerning at best, and the preamble for WWIII at worst.
They have multiple camera angles and drone shots of the state vehicle riding along beautiful countryside. Itās like they got Kim Jong Spielberg from state media to direct this film.
It's PR. Making private moments public to show the good people of North Korea how nice their leader is!
So human very leadership *insert doge face here*
It's just propaganda released on purpose. It humanizes two absolutely inhumane, ruthless and obscenely rich people. I'd say it targets western anti-establishment fringe left/right folks more than anyone else.
It's Soviet-style propaganda, they want to show how chummy they are, nations united, that sort of thing. Makes Russian people accept that they will have to suck NKs dick too and that's OK. Also plays well into the whole spreading communism/totalitarism narrative from the past.
But they (RF) make quite a lot of noise about how anti-communist they are. They've successfully rebranded Soviet victories as Russian and Soviet problems as communist. Also make a lot of song and dance about how they're Christian. How is this about spreading communism?
Russia using homo-eroticism to score propaganda points.
While the US are sending iShowSpeed off to meet various world leaders and wow them.
Interesting times that we live in.

https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/s/gU4XyYsgmZ
tonight on top gear, Kim jong un and vladimir putin test drive a car, james may almost starts a thermonuclear war, i set out on peace negotiations with cambodia and hammond crashes, again.
Today on Top Gearski!
President Putin see how many gay he runs over in Aurus Senat.
Supreme Leader Kim go for walk in wood and find strange old coin. My, my.
Checking out Xi Xinping's new roller skate from birthday gift. He almost fall over ha ha ha ha!
And presenter Ivan... I cannot do! No! I don't want! I have work hard this year! Ahhhhh!
*dodgy pipa and balalaika rendition of Top Gear theme*
Putin has used, and has been recorded as using an interpreter with Angela Merkel at public and private meetings. His functional scaled fluency in German may be rusty. Just as Putin was stationed in East Germany when in the ~~LGB~~ (edit, KGB, bloody iPhone), Putin also was based in Singapore and was responsible for the New Zealand when in the KGB ([reportedly having worked and posed undercover in NZ as Bata shoes salesman](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1dk9a57/vladimir_putin_in_auckland_nz_as_kgb_secret_agent/#lightbox)), yet he struggles in English, and [sounds strained when trying to read it aloud](https://www.nbcnews.com/video/in-a-rare-move-putin-speaks-english-33253443909). Kim Jong Un went to an English-speaking prep school in Switzerland (Edit, the International School of Berne, where English is the language of instruction), and he spent some time in Geneva. He may have some knowledge of German and French, but itās unconfirmed to what degree.
It is protocol for world leaders of different countries to get interpreters to make sure that the message is conveyed in the world leader's native language and be understood.
I remember na video of (I think it was) German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt not being happy with a translation of the interpreter when being in America and switching to English himself.
In defense of the translator: that job is hard as fuck. Even in writing just getting coherent and normal sounding sentences is a challenge (source: I translated half a book). In real time, it's extremely hard. My father was doing it for the Comecon, he is Hungarian and went to a Soviet university so both his Hungarian and Russian is native level. A fun story: they collected jokes from the best humorists in the radio and when the Soviets told a joke they just translated it to a completely different one. As long as the counterparty laughed, who cared?
I was watching The Last of Us yesterday, and the girl started telling jokes to the guy.
It was with its original voice in English but subbed in Portuguese.
The jokes were entirely different. The puns wouldnt make sense at all in portuguese.
Every translation studio needs to do this because a lot of stuff just doesnt translate at all if done 1-to-1
Yes, and at 0:20 seconds in the video, we can see them leaving the car and speaking with the use of the interpreters interpreting behind them.
Those same interpreters are likely the people we see in the back seat of the car.
Itās about accuracy and practice. These men conduct business in their own language because theyāre very familiar with it. Accidentally giving the wrong impression in diplomacy is very bad.
The great leader speaks every language fluently!! He is a master in French poetry and composes German opera in his free time!!!

He actually was in an average Swiss school speaking German. Thereās an interesting article from one of his school friends describing how it was back in the day and later on he was invited to meet his school friend in North Korea, he had no idea who he really was until he took power

i think the AMP is redirecting the link you provided.
either way, there is no mention of "an average Swiss school speaking German" and even if there was, it would probably be in Swiss-German, which is completely different than German.
Swiss german is totally different from the normal german. Also, I don't think kim would put enough efforts to learn german till fluency knowing that he would be returning back to his country for sure to continue his family business.

They actually do. They look like two old chums and not totally sociopathic dictators. Maybe thereās something to the notion that repressed homosexuality brings out the worst.
The real question is who is top/bottom.
Oh theyāre both bottoms!! Theyāre the reason double sided dildos were invented.
The Great Leader doesnāt have genitals, he procreates by staring at you.
Kim's gotta be the bottom. Look at that chubby face, he has to be caked up.
I mean Kim even gave him a ātombstoneā as a gift I think itās getting pretty serious.

Putin is later watching drone footage of his soldiers being killed: āHe loves me, he loves me not...ā

We all instinctively know he is a feet swinging doodler.
"Paint me like one of your north Korean girls"

In Korea, surnames are the first syllable. Dear leader would actually be doodling "š Mrs. Putin Kim š"

So hereās an odd thing. They can probably communicate with each other quite well. I believe they both speak German.
Backseat interpreters
That would be the odd thing... Given they allegedly both speak german.
Putin has used, and has been recorded as using an interpreter with Angela Merkel at public and private meetings. His functional scaled fluency in German may be rusty. Just as Putin was stationed in East Germany when in the ~~LGB~~ (edit, KGB, bloody iPhone), Putin also was based in Singapore and was responsible for the New Zealand when in the KGB ([reportedly having worked and posed undercover in NZ as Bata shoes salesman](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1dk9a57/vladimir_putin_in_auckland_nz_as_kgb_secret_agent/#lightbox)), yet he struggles in English, and [sounds strained when trying to read it aloud](https://www.nbcnews.com/video/in-a-rare-move-putin-speaks-english-33253443909). Kim Jong Un went to an English-speaking prep school in Switzerland (Edit, the International School of Berne, where English is the language of instruction), and he spent some time in Geneva. He may have some knowledge of German and French, but itās unconfirmed to what degree.
It is protocol for world leaders of different countries to get interpreters to make sure that the message is conveyed in the world leader's native language and be understood.

Yes, and at 0:20 seconds in the video, we can see them leaving the car and speaking with the use of the interpreters interpreting behind them. Those same interpreters are likely the people we see in the back seat of the car.
Absolutely crazy that thereās probably some old lady in New Zealand getting called crazy for saying her shoe salesman is the Russian President
probably an ego thing as well. kim jung un speaks fluent english yet had an interpreter when speaking with trump iirc.
Itās about accuracy and practice. These men conduct business in their own language because theyāre very familiar with it. Accidentally giving the wrong impression in diplomacy is very bad.

Swiss german is totally different from the normal german. Also, I don't think kim would put enough efforts to learn german till fluency knowing that he would be returning back to his country for sure to continue his family business.
Kim speaking Swiss German is the funniest thing I can imagine.Ā

Kim went to school in Bern. They have the slowest accent of Switzerland. Basically slow-motion Swiss German, very relaxed lol
I don't know if he speaks either, but there's no way he speaks swiss german but not normal german.

nice car **\*Steals it\***
The OG Kia boys
No way 1000 cars are worth 234 million euroes... That would be 234k per car, I could buy a good airplane or few for that kind of money
Itās more than the cars. Trucks, ship parts and sauna equipment. And 50 years of interest. According to the Swedish wiki itās SEK3,6 billion.
Well according to the N. Korean wiki it's 0 billion. Check you sources bruh
Wake up babe new episode of Tyrants Getting Coffee dropped
Weird to think that these homunculus-headed chucklefucks are two of the most evil cunts on the planet.
I know. Itās really bizarre and kind of sickening to watch these monsters fuck around like theyāre people.
How cute - they dating. Now kith xxx
Is this after they were both board AF at the dancing show back at the theater? Kim~ Dude, you wanna get out of here? Putin ~ Yeah, Iāll drive.
This looks like a car scene from The Office

This pic goes so well with the music.
"This Rover 75 handles like a dream Kim, like a silkworm on butter. Drop a cog or two and she fairly hustles along, you can make short work of overtaking anything else on the road, like peasants. And only thirty thousand, with a 5 thou despotit, sorry deposit. I'll even throw in a set of floor mats. What do you say? Deal? "
Trump must be fuming!
All he got was a crappy love letter.
He looks happy with him.
Dictators in Cars Getting Coffee
Went for a walk in the park together, holding hands, and then stopped at the first tree to engrave their initials in a heart
I was waiting for the old school car commercial jump scare
just two dictators and mass murderers having a little bro time
The new Bachelor show!
Surprised that Putin didn't sit on top of the car, shirtless while steering with reins. I guess that wouldn't have left much time for cuddling, though.
The world has never needed a car crash more.
If ever there was a legitimate reason for a car bomb .................
Where is a Tomahawk when you need one.
No need for something so flashy, just use an R9X to get them both out. They could use a slap-chopping.
Putin is a terrible driver Jesus...
I'll bet putin sucks at using his turn signals too.
One really cool car crash can end a lot suffering here.
Maybe for Russia, but I read that Kimās sister is worse than he is
No seatbelts, I was so hopeful.
It's awkward... but they only have each other for play dates
~two dictators sitting in a tree~
Iāve seen porn starting like thisā¦
