‘What Are They Plotting?’: Putin, Kim’s ‘Bromance’ Triggers Meme Fest

Earlier this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin took an audacious step and flouted US warnings by making a short trip to North Korea. In Pyongyang, he met Kim Jong Un and held bilateral talks with him. However, what captured the internet’s attention was their alleged “bromance.”

The two leaders were seen enjoying a ride in the Aurus Limousine, with Putin driving. They were also seen petting animals together. It was later reported that Putin gifted the Aurus to Kim. In return, the Korean dictator gifted the Russian leader a pair of Pungsan dogs, which are a local breed from the hermit nation.

While both Kim and Putin are known for their dictatorial styles of governance, videos showing their jovial side triggered a meme fest on the internet. Netizens were quick to point out how both leaders can impulsively trigger major geopolitical events without much consideration for other countries. The viral memes also referenced possible nuclear attacks or World War 3 plots by Putin and Kim during their car ride.
