So a bunch of new information came to light with the recent Wikileaks release, blah blah everybody’s a spy, they’re planning on reunifying Korea, the U.S.is failing to prevent Syria arming Hezbollah, big deal. But apparently Russia’s badass PM Vladimir Putin and Italy’s pimp-daddy PM Silvio Berlusconi are fist-pumping bros!
They give each other fancy gifts and lucrative energy contracts. When Silvio’s feeling down, he can have some brewskis with his broski. I mean, obviously this could be seen as a little sinister, what with the rampant cronyism in both Italy and Russia, and the fact that the documents say Berlusconi “appears increasingly to be the mouthpiece of Putin” in the EU, but bros before political ethos, right?
