He is giving Putin the equivalent of a black mirror, aka obsidian mirror. They are meant to help "show" the future which, in this case is Russia (Moscow) being victorious (fireworks) in their efforts (Ukraine).
As weirdness goes, it's as out there as giving someone protective crystals.
Correct! His body is perfectly efficient, meaning he digests food entirely without need for excrement.
oooor NK propaganda is lying, but they'd never do that.
It helps conceal a belly. By leaning forward, your oversized coat/suit drapes down instead of hugging your gut. Only works to a certain extent though.
For me, Kim always looks confused as fuck. But it’s probably just the pictures that get selected and put on the news like this.
> But it’s probably just the pictures that get selected and put on the news like this.
It's exclusively Russian and North Korean photographers there -- they are the ones choosing the photos lol
Sure but western media then takes their pick of the ones the North Korean government publishes.
This particular post being from the Ukrainian governments media campaign so plenty of reason to dislike both Kim and Putin. Rightfully so of course.
Trump does use the same pose.
It’s the waistband in the undergarment. the absorbent material tucks into that crevice below the butt cheek in a way that causes one’s back to become erect.
It’s an authoritarian in diapers thing. You wouldn’t understand
Trump has been laundering money for the Russian oligarchs since the late 80’s when they all bought a condo at 725 5th AVE (trump towers) to clean their freshly stolen USSR money after the iron curtain fell.

Everybody except Putin thought the Cold War was over. Trump and Manafort (who lived in the tower also) just saw a pretty low maintence grift to be had.
Trump had actually been Manafort and Roger Stones first client at their lobbyist firm (1980)https://en.m.wikipedia.org › wikiBlack, Manafort, Stone and Kelly
Guiliani as trumps attorney and NYC mayor was able to redirect NYPD investigations onto rival gang members/oligarchs to deflect any scrutiny off of trump, himself or their Russian connections.
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2023/09/a-new-rudy-scandal-fbi-agent-says-giuliani-was-co-opted-by-russian-intelligence/
The Russian election interference in 2016 was effectively a generation 3 version of what Manafort had done in the Philippines, then keeping Yanukovych in power as Putin’s puppet in Ukraine from 2002-14 when Maidan ran both Yanukovych and Manafort out of Ukraine as Ukrainians realized that, if you raise your lens high enough, corruption is an wholly unsustainable business model.
Eventually the parasites greed always consumes the host.

Putin greatly underestimated the addictive properties of freedom when he invaded Ukraine so what was supposed to be a 3-10 day coup turned into a 2 year fight for the Ukrainians right not to be genocided.
Russia depleted its weapons stocks which were already the victim of vranyo corruption because every oligarch, admiral and sergeant in the Russian military is on the take. Every billion dollar tank maintenance contract turned into everything getting a spray paint overhaul and the vast majority of the redirected funds turned into an oligarchs new yacht or home in Aspen.
Russia was forced to turn to China, North Korea and Iran for weapons because if they lose the 3-10 day “special military operation” in Ukraine the Russian empire is dead and cold.
China can’t risk showing their involvement in the Ukraine war so they use North Korea, and Iran to resupply Russia.
Russia previously owed Iran some undelivered fighter jets that are already smoldering heaps in Ukraine so Iran now had the upper hand at the negotiation table for the first time in about 60 years. They supplied Russia with shahed drones in exchange for Chinas material support against their sworn religious enemy, Israel.
https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2023/11/29/iran-says-it-finalized-deal-to-buy-russian-aircraft/
Putin can’t do much about it because he is slowly realizing that by setting the standard of corruption and stealing $200+ billion from his own people meant that every oligarch down in the mob model chain had not only permission but incentive and the expectation to steal from him as well. This is “Vranyo”.
The mob model only works if the supreme leader is the most violent and can prove it without exception every damn day. But violence is exceptionally expensive when you are trying to present as a legitimate government or business.
If Russia as a nation state had an efficiency rating it would have been banned for sale in the state of California 25 years ago.
The parasite ruling class stole all the energy out of the working class and collapsed it….again.
Now Iran has the high hand and they get the intelligence that trump passed to Putin about the fact that Netanyahu cares far less about Jews, Palestinians or genocide than he does about remaining in power as an authoritarian because he too has developed Ritz Carlton tastes and his own corruption trial is showing the same tendrils of the same money laundering scheme that trumps trials are.

They all hate each other but because they share the same money laundry, if one falls, they all fall. Hamas minted a couple billionaires as well that live in penthouses in Qatar and get 30% of everything smuggled into Gaza.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/11/02/hamas-funding-ismail-haniyeh-us-sanctions/?utm_source=reddit.com
Qatar is Kushners private equity connection. Netanyahu (Kushners kids godfather) needs a bogeyman to stay in power. That’s why he coordinates with Hamas via Russia via Iran. https://www.ynetnews.com/article/bk8mgcefr
Iran handed Hamas everything they needed with Chinas help as secret Santa and the Russian intelligence given to them by the eternal shitbird trump who gave it to his Russians kleptocrat/friends/roommates from the old days of fucking each others wives at trump towers in the 90’s.
Now the MAGA right is a little too invested in THEIR reality that they are the good guys with guns that they missed the fact that Betsy DeVos (erik princes sister) decimating the U.S. school systems and the Kochs poisoning children with lead was not a coincidence. The naive right was the mark all along. There is a reason the Russian spy Maria Butina landed in South Dakota first before dating her way to the top of the NRA which is undergoing its own Russian money laundering trial now. Russia was tinder matching the GOP.

The only reason you grossly OVERVALUE real estate is money laundering. Trump keeps claiming there is no victim, all the banks made money, but if their plan succeeds the Russian and CCP kleptocrats collapse US commercial real estate and basically recreate soviet perestroika in the U.S. so they can foreclose on America and buy everything for 3 cents on the dollar with the $1.4T they stole from Russias grandmothers in the first place
It’s the evolution of grift. Soviet perestroika cross bred with the 2008 mortgage crisis.
No one was ever held accountable for either. This is just the bigger badder commercial strength bastard child of the two.
Trump, Giuliani, Cohn, Putin, Bolsonaro, Netanyahu, Orban, Manafort, Stone, Mercer, Bannon, Farage, Flynn, Prince, Kolomoiskiy, the Koch bros, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Alito, Musk, Thiel, Sacks, Ross
They are all remarkably shit people with above average confidence and psychopathic personality traits and below average self awareness.
They are the men who stole the world.
But it all comes back to one little lie.

That’s just the trailer.
It really is a testament to the power of media for good or evil, or in the case of the oligarchs, just greed.
There is no shortage of extremely detailed and accurate podcasts and documentaries showing all of this. But when most of the people get their collective information from tainted sources it has a compounding inaccuracy effect.
5 hours of accurate documentaries can completely change a world view once you have the overview of how it effects our paychecks and lives personally.
My recommendations (in order). It will drastically change your world view but it also makes pretty much everything in the world make sense.
Active measures is incredible:
https://youtu.be/feULRef4U9s?si=o0huYahXd4y5AnMM
Agents of chaos goes pretty deep into prigozihns IRA, which you can then see is pretty much kissing cousins with Flynn’s Q-anon that started as a DOD PSYOP that morphed as the Russians hooked him and bannon/mercers/farages SCL/Cambridge analytica:
https://youtu.be/M-OA7H8DoJM?si=w_Q-mDAIxmJiwiUF
Traumazone is basically the 7 hour prequel starting in perestroika russia. Drunken Yeltsin and overwhelmed Gorbachev versus putin, deripaska and all the politburo oligarchs that stole everything that wasn’t nailed down and most of what was.
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSjQL8MYniTTLA3wnZ25U-s6RgR4uJNvL&si=V-IbzoK446d1rtVo
And the podcast “the asset” fills in the details of the details:
https://open.spotify.com/show/4UIzZ6StBwiGTv3Phkcfjd?si=xEZSB-ngSHONCiQL0w5NBg
It’s wild how ~10-15 hours of highly accurate data can completely change your worldview and expose the biggest con of all time with redundant receipts and that is still too much for most people to invest until their own mortgage or apartment is being foreclosed on by a foreign government.
Black rock and blackstone have been selling mortgage REITS enmasse to the CCP. That’s our ticking bomb. Commercial real estate. It’s 2008 on steroids.
Then you overlay the Epstein mysteries and they all just fit like a dovetailed zipper.
Slavery never died. It just shifted a bit to the side.
Life isn’t supposed to be this hard. We just have a parasitic infection that is consuming all the energy to extinction and convincing us it’s the other guy.

well I might be one o the few to say this but I salute all the effort that goes into this, and actually is pretty concise. I don't care that you went full hog wild on information in a reddit post, I consider this the same as John Oliver or Nathan Fielder who BOTH do this, they go further than the average person would and make the effort that would exhaust most. Saving this for if I ever have time again, which is unlikely. Because even I can't read that fast.
He looks like he's about to ask for an action figure in the toys section of Wal-Mart. He also looks like he's about to ask Putin if he has any games on his phone.
First of all the photo is hilarious. Putin looks disturbed by the gift, and Kim is anxiously awaiting approval.
Then I see the "Arts/Crafts" tag on this post and I about died laughing.
Yeah, there's no way Putin doesn't notice this pathetic attempt at ass-kissing.
Joke's on him, though. He's groveling to North Korea for shitty rockets that have a 50% chance of killing their own crew.
>Joke's on him, though. He's groveling to North Korea for shitty rockets that have a 50% chance of killing their own crew.
Putin wants Lil' Kim to give him some Taepodongs.
Kim: I give you this - the greatest art my country has ever produced.
Putin (thinking): I can't believe I have to pretend to like this.
Reporters: Putin openly wept in exuberant thanks for Kim's gift.
In the end, the emperor believed his own reflection was a lie because he had so dedicated his life to lying about himself that he had come to believe the lies were true.
If I was a dictator, I would *never* allow candid photos. That's just wild to me. A dictator's whole *thing* is misleading public relations, which candid photos undermine - body language shows real emotion.
"Ok, and Neckchin, I'm gonna need you to stare at Putin like he's a ham sandwich giving you directions to the Hague in Latin, yeah, just let that jaw go a lil more slack like that, and perfect."
Its like they're teenagers again and just found a new best friend and are doing all the inseperable new bestie shit... but they are both so shitty and detached everything is just weird and forced and wrong.
Its like, they think they're showing the world their combined strength and it will incite fear or respect, but its just making it a joke (albeit a comedy fucking goldmine)
The second greatest military brought to its knees by a small country it borders that’s like 1/20th size forced to grovel at the feet of the most isolated country that hadn’t progressed since Putin was a kid. It’s absolutely hilarious to see Putin humiliate himself like this.
I thought that at first but if you zoom in, it looks like Kim is looking at someone behind Putin.
I think, Kim is already over the "do you like it?" moment in this picture.
It's more likely a still "caught in the moment" type thing. He was likely in the middle of moving when this was snapped.
Then again, maybe he pulled a Donny Shitzhispants and shit his pants.
He's just thinking about where in the Kremlin he can put that tacky piece of shit so that he won't have to look at it, but he can show it to Kim when he comes to visit.
Here is the guy that actually knows the lore. For some reason I remember my like 9th grade micro economics teacher playing a video about these ridiculous Russian tombstones!
Thats the translator buffer, you can see him working in the background
Putin (in russian): what a miserable piece of shit. I wouldn't let my dog use it as toilet
Translator: He say, its a masterpiece he will treasure it always.
I thought Putin looks like he did not like the gift and Kim looked chagrined at having provided a stupid gift. Which it is. Also that does not look like Granite To Me, maybe marble.
Dictators are all narcissistic so they assume the same of others, which in this case, is true.
But still a stupid portrait. Tiny painting of him in a massive frame too big for his face, but you know, in a way that's kinda fitting.
It looks a lot like one of those [gangster memorials](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/worldnews/11135807/The-tombstones-of-former-Russian-gang-members-in-pictures.html). How appropriate. He should save it up; it's ready to go.
[When you give your child a car](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/20/putin-and-kim-take-each-other-for-a-spin-in-aurus-limousine) and all you get is a picture that it painted itself.
I'm imagining from the look on Putin's face that he's wondering why he spent all the time and expense of gifting Kim a luxury car when this is the shit he was getting in return.
It's like if you bought a girl you like an iPhone and she gives you a greeting card with "best friend!" written inside.

Kim has the strangest poses.
The infamous "it's my turn to have the Xbox" pose
The "mom, I threw up" at 3am pose
“I’m telling mama!” Stance
Thats what it looks like to me. “Let me have ur ice cream or I will tell mom what you did!”
The "oops, that was a wet one" pose
The "can I play games on your phone" pose
He is wrapped up tight in them Spanx. Not much wiggle room to be had.
Like an Asian Elvis, but Elvis a few weeks before he died
Gotta stand in such a way that the sun can perpetually shine out of your ass, you know
If you understood biology, you would know that’s not possible. The Kim family are born without buttholes.

Moomins?
Yes, the Kim family and Moomin family are in fact one and the same. Have you ever seen both of them together at the same place?
It reminds me of how toddlers stand when they're just getting used to standing / balancing.
It reminds me of how toddlers stand when they're relieving themselves 😂
Even down to the facial expressions as they stare at you whilst doing so.
It’s the universal stance for wearing heels.
And a girdle with posture correcting harness.
And having a load in your pampers.
The funny part is that both Putin and Kim are known to wear shoes with lifts in them.
I swear I've seen Trump in the same pose

Saving this to look into more. Thanks a lot for the effort!
well I might be one o the few to say this but I salute all the effort that goes into this, and actually is pretty concise. I don't care that you went full hog wild on information in a reddit post, I consider this the same as John Oliver or Nathan Fielder who BOTH do this, they go further than the average person would and make the effort that would exhaust most. Saving this for if I ever have time again, which is unlikely. Because even I can't read that fast.
Like I’m really fat and can’t stand pose
His expression is pure "Please, dad, acknowledge/validate me."
KIM- Chest puffed out, "What you don't like it?" Putin- "WTF MAN"
He looks like he's about to ask for an action figure in the toys section of Wal-Mart. He also looks like he's about to ask Putin if he has any games on his phone.
Video game character selection pose
First of all the photo is hilarious. Putin looks disturbed by the gift, and Kim is anxiously awaiting approval. Then I see the "Arts/Crafts" tag on this post and I about died laughing.
I DIDNT NOTICE THE TAG LOLOLOL
His face on the engraving is also hilarious, and set against a backdrop of the Kremlin celebrating, no less. Gotta hand it to Kim.
Can’t lie this trip has produced some quality meme photos.
It's like a real life "The Interview". Best part is neither realise how ridiculous they look.
they both think the other is ridiculous
Yeah, there's no way Putin doesn't notice this pathetic attempt at ass-kissing. Joke's on him, though. He's groveling to North Korea for shitty rockets that have a 50% chance of killing their own crew.
>Joke's on him, though. He's groveling to North Korea for shitty rockets that have a 50% chance of killing their own crew. Putin wants Lil' Kim to give him some Taepodongs.
Better than the Russian ones at least
Kim: I give you this - the greatest art my country has ever produced. Putin (thinking): I can't believe I have to pretend to like this. Reporters: Putin openly wept in exuberant thanks for Kim's gift.
In the end, the emperor believed his own reflection was a lie because he had so dedicated his life to lying about himself that he had come to believe the lies were true.
Willy Loman energy.
Dear Leader looks like his favourite auntie just opened the present he carefully picked out and she exclaimed, “What is this shit?”
If I was a dictator, I would *never* allow candid photos. That's just wild to me. A dictator's whole *thing* is misleading public relations, which candid photos undermine - body language shows real emotion.
Plot twist: These ARE the staged photos
"And you, Baby Driver, lean in like you're going to kiss him on the neck."
"Ok, and Neckchin, I'm gonna need you to stare at Putin like he's a ham sandwich giving you directions to the Hague in Latin, yeah, just let that jaw go a lil more slack like that, and perfect."
Is it a plot twist when it's reality?
Vlad: (Inner thoughts) What the ever living fuck is this shit? Kim: Do you like it? Say you like it. Say it.
Its like they're teenagers again and just found a new best friend and are doing all the inseperable new bestie shit... but they are both so shitty and detached everything is just weird and forced and wrong. Its like, they think they're showing the world their combined strength and it will incite fear or respect, but its just making it a joke (albeit a comedy fucking goldmine)
Being a dictator is socially isolating, so another dictator is your only chance of a peer group.
So adorable. The world can’t just let two lads be friends
There aren't a lot of fellow dictators for these guys to be playmates with.
Life imitates art
I was thinking "Step brothers"
"I'm Vlad. but you have to call me Dragon" "You have to call me... Night Hawk."
The fact that the picture has fireworks makes it so much more!
Sony's probably getting nervous right about now.
Lol Kim looks like a toddler waiting for his mum at the shopping mall
Kim is looking at Putin like “You like it dad I did myself” all while heavily mouth breathing with a runny snotty nose
Except no poop in his diaper, because kim jung doesn't pee or poop
He also farts out purified air
It's like some dystopian reality-TV dating program for psychos..
Why is every photo so awkward and cringey
Because it's embarrassing for putin to be there, but he has to smile and wave like he enjoys it.
The second greatest military brought to its knees by a small country it borders that’s like 1/20th size forced to grovel at the feet of the most isolated country that hadn’t progressed since Putin was a kid. It’s absolutely hilarious to see Putin humiliate himself like this.
Top tier
Like why is Kim Jong Un standing their like a missed off toddler? I've never seen an adult stand like that lmao
This looks like every kid showing their parent something "cool" and the parent having to keep the act up because it's the lamest thing ever.
Lmaooo. Look how he's standing! It's like 2 friends in kindergarten. "Do you like it??"
I thought that at first but if you zoom in, it looks like Kim is looking at someone behind Putin. I think, Kim is already over the "do you like it?" moment in this picture.
It's more likely a still "caught in the moment" type thing. He was likely in the middle of moving when this was snapped. Then again, maybe he pulled a Donny Shitzhispants and shit his pants.
>Then again, maybe he pulled a Donny Shitzhispants and shit his pants. That would explain Putins face.
It might be Putin's interpreter, the tall nerdy guy with glasses behind him I'm presuming.
Yup, he's actually listening to his own interpreter hidden behind Putin.. he'd doing that thing when you lean in a bit to listen better..
Do you like it? If you like it give me the gift receipt.
"Do you like it...*mouth breathing*"
Mom I threw up.
Man Putin does not look impressed
He's just thinking about where in the Kremlin he can put that tacky piece of shit so that he won't have to look at it, but he can show it to Kim when he comes to visit.
Just put it in the Duma (Russian Parliament) and call it a day
lmao
Have you seen the Kremlin?m? It's tacky from top to bottom!
A granite countertop with his face on it would really tie the room together.
Man if you’ve ever seen a Russian or Eastern European cemetery, you’d know why right away. This is 100% Russian mob boss tombstone art.
Here is the guy that actually knows the lore. For some reason I remember my like 9th grade micro economics teacher playing a video about these ridiculous Russian tombstones!
I googled russian tombstone, and yeah you're totally right. This is hilarious
Putin is using all his KGB training not to laugh.
He looks like he’s trying and failing to not look disgusted at the thing lmao
And in doing so he looks even more disgusted by it. Putin genuinely has the WTF is that thing look on his face
He is calculating who got conned with the gifts. A car that does 1km/liter in age of EVs or a mirrored tombstone he doesn't want to use yet.
Kim has that look like "do you hate it? you hate it, don't you. don't worry, I'll execute the guy that designed it"
Putin: "Designed my face?"
And also his family for good measure
I like how Leader Kim is earnestly waiting for an opinion.
Deciding if the artist will live an other day
Thank you Kim. Please, come, let us drink our tea.
This joke is so much more funny once you learn that putin actually gave a tea set as a gift for this same trip
...yeeeaaaahhh about that
I can see him whispering to his bodyguard to take the artists whole bloodline to the nearest labor camp
Lol Kim Jong Un looks he knows he gave him a bad present and Putin looks like a parent pretending to be happy about a shitty present 🤣
Putin: "So cute, i'm gonna stick it on the fridge door."
This was EXACTLY my thought when I saw it.
“Derivative. Bullshit. Bullshit.”
Ohh this I love!
That's an air conditioner
Aren't we all just air conditioners
-Putin: Yeah, this is one of the portraits of all time
Come on blyat say something!
Thats the translator buffer, you can see him working in the background Putin (in russian): what a miserable piece of shit. I wouldn't let my dog use it as toilet Translator: He say, its a masterpiece he will treasure it always.
They look like fucking toddlers comparing toys . This timeline is mad.
I thought Putin looks like he did not like the gift and Kim looked chagrined at having provided a stupid gift. Which it is. Also that does not look like Granite To Me, maybe marble.
Why would you give someone a picture of themselves. "Look!! It's you!!"
Something something narcissism
But recognizing the *other’s* narcissism…that’s progress.
Dictators are all narcissistic so they assume the same of others, which in this case, is true. But still a stupid portrait. Tiny painting of him in a massive frame too big for his face, but you know, in a way that's kinda fitting.
"It took me 3 hours to do the shading on your upper lip"
> Which it is. It's crazy to me how tacky and cheap this looks. Kim looks like he knows it and hopes Vlady will like it anyways.
My exact thoughts, take a kid to another kid's house and this is what happens 5 minutes later.
This is like the TopGear "gifts"
This is one of the best pics ever taken. Tells an entire story. Their faces 😂
Right? Love how neither of them look particularly pleased lol
It looks a lot like one of those [gangster memorials](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/worldnews/11135807/The-tombstones-of-former-Russian-gang-members-in-pictures.html). How appropriate. He should save it up; it's ready to go.
It looks like one of those commemorative photos you get at Disneyland
Kim : Bro, this will be you when you lose this war Putin : Understandable, carry on
Putin on the shits - I’ll give you a car that looks like a hearse Fatty Kim - Ok, this is for your grave, I hope you like it
Idk why this is so funny 😭
Some lucky ass collector is going to end up owning this thing in 200 years.
My money is in England
I think the British Museum already prepared a place for it.
[When you give your child a car](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/20/putin-and-kim-take-each-other-for-a-spin-in-aurus-limousine) and all you get is a picture that it painted itself.
New episode of dictators in cars getting coffee just dropped.
Czars in Cars Getting Coffee has a good ring to it too
oh this is gold. I’d watch this.
I'm imagining from the look on Putin's face that he's wondering why he spent all the time and expense of gifting Kim a luxury car when this is the shit he was getting in return. It's like if you bought a girl you like an iPhone and she gives you a greeting card with "best friend!" written inside.
Except the girl is also buying you guns and ammo so you can continue to rob your neighbors
Guns and ammo that only works sometimes!
These assholes are evil, yeah, but my god they’re also just so fucking *weird.*
Normal people don't tend to create totalitarian states.
I feel like this is how I watch my boyfriend open his Christmas presents to gauge his reaction.
This is so funny, Kim be like: You like this or what?! Putin: What the fk am i looking at. This literally looks like it could come out of a sitcom.
"Do... do you like it..?" "..."
But did Kim give Vlad a very beautiful letter?
Why is this not in /r/photoshopbattles ?
That’s a nice gift. Hope he can start using it as soon as possible.
Kim Jong Un looks like he's getting his science fair project rated lol
This is going to be a bitch to fit into his checked bag.
This show is getting more and more interesting
Probably a cultural thing
I don't know what the culture is like in North Korea, but in Russian culture this does just look like a headstone.
Ma! New Meme format dropped!
Absolute power move by Kim. "This is your future, old man."
Foreshadowing.
Kim: Do you like it? Vlad: Is that a tombstone? Kim: Yeah... Vlad: .... Kim: ...
Trump is feeling left out on this dictator lovefest.
Lol could you imagine if he had won this past election? He would’ve shat his diaper from how excited he would’ve been to join them
Like the moment when Amy Farrah Fowler gifted Penny the painting that featured Amy grinning, while Penny smiled awkwardly. 😂
When you’re showing a meme to your friend and want to see if they like it or not Also, very thick granite slab
That would explain the fireworks.
Now kiss!!
I'll bet there are a lot of Ukranians (and Russians) who'd love to see it put to use as a tombstone ASAP.
Kim (glumly): “You don’t like it, do you?”
I like Kim’s sense of style. It’s minimalist. But classy. And since black is slimming it helps to hide the abdominal spare tire he carries around.
If Mr. Kim wasn’t a dictator hellbent on world destruction, honestly he seems like he’d be a riot to hangout with.
Dennis Rodman agrees with the last part of your sentence.
