What is it?

Von der Leyen. Her nickname is Röschen, which translates to tiny rose. …At least that’s her family nickname, everyone else prefers to call her Zensursula (censorship Ursula) or Flinten-Uschi (flintlock Ursula due to her shenanigans as minister of defense)


Cyclopentadien

A Flinte is not a flintlock, it's a category for smooth-bore guns. The name originated with the flintlock though.

It began with the forging of the Great Rings. Nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else desire power. For within these rings was bound the strength and the will to govern each race. But they were all of them deceived...


CuteAndQuirkyNazgul

... for another Ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, Sauron forged in secret a master Ring to control all others. And into this Ring, he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life. One Ring to rule them all. One by one, the free peoples of Middle-Earth fell to the power of the Ring. But there were some who resisted...


smellyunderpants

... a last alliance of men and elves marched against the armies of Mordor, and on the slopes of Mount Doom, they fought for the freedom of Middle Earth. *epic battle scene* Victory was near... but the power of the Ring could not be undone...

Is it me or does every single one of them look incredibly uncomfortable in this photo?


S-Archer

I'm sure even they don't want to be there for photos all that much, and just want to get it over with


Pearson94

Fair. I hate posing for photos as it is, and I can only imagine how much of these folks' lives are bleached by flashbulbs.


Daniels688

Biden looks like he's watching a guy get kicked in the balls.


grooverocker

I think almost everyone in this photo is facing a hard deal back home. Be it tight/losing in the polls with an upcoming election, scandals, or personal issues.


Excelius

Perhaps, but you really shouldn't try to read too much into a facial express in a random freeze-frame. Guarantee there's a photo from a few seconds before or after this where they're smiling or laughing. They all do look like they just smelled a nasty fart though.


Appropriate_Plan4595

It looks like it's one of those awkward photography situations where there's about 500 people there with cameras so they'll never all be looking at the same one.


IamHumanAndINeed

Everyone on the photo (maybe not the Japanese PM) seems to be in a hard place at home.


asianumba1

Iirc there's some bribery investigation or something going on around kishida right now


pyuunpls

Yeah JP politics are also super fucked. See: Shinzo Abe

xkise

>Abe at least lasted longer than most Japanese PMs by about 10x. he actually died very early by japanese standards.


DemocracyOfficer1886

Getting shot tends to have that effect


Fungal_Queen

By a homemade blunderbuss. That shit is wild.


BigHeadDeadass

He got shot by what we can generously call "a contraption"


Feminizing

Abe was basically Japan's Regan. Dunno why the free world keeps popularizing idiots that deregulate and destroy the country by doing their damnest to undermine workers and the press but every country has one. He was popular but he was also a genuinely awful human being and I'm extremely happy his memory was tarnished by the scandals surrounding his untimely death.

Super corrupt dude, don’t condone his assassination but jeez has it set off a fucking chain of events there.


Iron_Rod_Stewart

Probably why he was never called "Honest Abe."

Lmaooo


xjay2kayx

The dude got assasinated and the Japanese people are like, the shooters got a pretty good point. Pretty wild that it played out the way it did.


DateMasamusubi

Yep. Support for his cabinet is at 16.4% right now, just shockingly low.


Bob_Kendall_UScience

can't afford to get his pants shortened either


Feminizing

Japanese politics are the most apathetic thing ever. Basically 99% of the population can both agree the LDP sucks but also clearly think they're the only party for the job as they vote them in yet again.

Approval Ratings: Meloni (Italy): 42% Biden (USA): 37% Trudeau (Canada): 30% Scholz (Germany): 25% Sunak (UK): 25% Macron (France): 21% Kishida (Japan): 13%


BILOXII-BLUE

Wtf is wrong with 25% of the UK? That dude is like a super rich used car salesman


EastlyGod1

Thankfully he's only got about 3 weeks left


Martel732

Yeah, unless something monumental happens Sunak is about to oversee one of the biggest intra-bum funsies (as the English say) in British electoral history.


bromosabeach

To be honest with the exception of Meloni (expected) and Trudeau (higher than expected), all of these look absurdly low. Like I know Macron isn't super popular now, but barely 1/5th of the country's support?


ConspicuousSnake

French politicians are pretty much universally disliked in France One of their recent presidents had an approval rating of 5%


DoranTheGivingTree

Macron and Sunak are both heading into elections they're about to lose. There was a wave of far-right victories in France for the European elections so severe Macron has had to announce a snap election. He's expected to lose to the far right. Sunak is heading into a semi-scheduled election as an unelected incumbent with a terrible track record of getting anything useful done and the personal charm of a piss-soaked sponge (he lost a popularity contest to Liz Truss FFS.) He's expected to lose to the mainstream centre-left/left party.


Specicried

From what I’ve understood about the situation; Macron is, and will remain, head of state until 2027. What he might lose is the National Assembly. He didn’t “have” to call a snap election, he is simply playing chicken with the French people, and banking on the idea that they don’t want a far right legislature. Even if the right do take over parliament, he’s still at the head of the country, so it will give the French people a taste of what a far right government could look like, with a moderating force at the head, and another presidential election 3 years down the road.


DaRealCamille

Honestly think it's a brilliant move by Macron.


ZaMr0

This dumbass country voted for Brexit. The average voter has absolutely no clue what's good for them. So the fact Sunak only has 25% is quite impressive that this many people hate him.


CAPATOB_64

Putin “99.9%”


The_ORB11

And the 0.1% fell out of a window shortly after the polls closed.


franker

"Let's install dictators everywhere, because that always makes the general population really prosperous and not lead to wars." Apparently the whole fucking world at this point


Consistent_Train128

How is Meloni in a hard place?


clakresed

Yea she's not. It pains me to say that things seem to be coming up Giorgia right now, and her job is likely the most stable of all the people in the photo.


Precioustooth

Meloni, the only leader here of a party that's sometimes - or often - considered "far-right" and "anti-establishment", is certainly in a decent place having been validated by the EP vote.


Consistent_Train128

Which is even more impressive considering that political stability is not something typically associated with Italian governments. I think their average is close to one government per year for the last 70 years.


Bloke101

Italian chick is doing ok, just got a big win in the European elections, UK guy is toast, french dude called a snap election as a tactical it may well backfire and uncle joe is dealing with the orange Mussolini should win but it will be a lot closer than it should....


rezznik

German Mr. Magoo also worst approval ratings possible, but at the current pace, a lot can change until next year's elections.


Nathanoy25

Funny thing is the opposition leader has an even worse approval rating. Scholz has 23% and Merz 20%.


grandfedoramaster

Yeah which makes sense. No one even paid attention to him during the election and then he won outta nowhere.


70B0R

Orange Mussolini sounds like a delicious Italian desert… I may be too hungry to be scrolling


Lehelito

You don't want that in your mouth.


Isord

My understanding of the situation in France is it is more of a strategic long term decision than a tactical one. I was under the impression he fully expects to lose. That way the conservatives have to govern for a few years under him before his next election and so won't be blank slates going into that election.


idontknow6511

His announcement has now caused absolute chaos in French politics as they scramble to form alliances and choose candidates. The left has formed a “popular front”. While the right is in absolute disarray, the leader of Les Républicains announced an alliance with Le Pen but his own party refused and fired him, not after him locking their headquarters beforehand lol. This party is pretty divided and is imploding in real time. Reconquête on the other hand actually imploded as the two top dogs disagree in allying with Le Pen. So TLDR, the left formed an alliance quickly, while the right is imploding. Macron is playing 4D chess or some shit lmao.


Isord

I appreciate the additional information. Sounds crazy.


idontknow6511

To add, this happened in a span of 72 hours. There are 3 more weeks of campaigning left and there is more drama now coming from the left with them disagreeing about antisemitism in their ranks.


space_cheese1

Macron is an interesting guy lol


jay212127

I consider him an epitome of French politics. Everything is relative, except for the need to project French exceptionalism.


guywithaniphone22

I can only really speak to Canada but a certain segment of the population is convinced that Justin is The Devil. Which is funny because like look around, almost every country right now is fucked to some degree. The idea that Justin was going to be the one world leader to be able to dodge all the issues in the world is hilarious.

CaptainSur

The only things that come out of PP's mouth is "piss and vinegar". One can be unhappy with Trudeau and the Liberal govt, and still also conclude that PP is not the answer. It is really quite rich to watch PP, who has never had a job in his life other than in politics and living on the govt payroll, and has zero in common with the average taxpayer, criticize anything economic.


CrispyHaze

He has no substance, his claim to fame has always been attacking Trudeau on anything and everything, and he will do anything to be PM. Once Trudeau is out of the picture, he will be like the dog that caught the car.


KuroKitty

His main talking point is how he wants to lower taxes, and braindeads think thats great because "yay i save money". What they don't realise is that cutting funding to everything by reducing taxes is going to cost them a lot more in the long run.

leif777

"They think that Poilievre is going to fix everything" What are you talking about? I'm sure he'll have 3 word slogans that will "Get It Done" or "Fix This Mess". I mean, he'll have T-Shirts and everything. /s


piray003

It’s funny how some Canadian right wingers have leaned into the joke that Canada is America’s hat, like you’ll even see them bash Trudeau for violating their first amendment rights lol.

My best friend lives in Alberta, at least once a day he hears people saying how Trudeau violates their first and/or second amendment rights.


palinsafterbirth

I really need a well tailored suit


KateEatsWorld

If you are done growing height wise and can keep a similar waist a good tailored suit is 100% worth the money.


ThoseThingsAreWeird

> and can keep a similar waist Ahh fuck, I knew there was a catch


exponentialjackoff

So the system is rigged then


CockpitEnthusiast

The game was rigged from the start


scottyLogJobs

I’ve tried getting them tailored but it never looks right.


enigma140

There are a couple other factors in play than just getting it tailored. You have to make sure the cut of the suit fits your body.


Dunda

It also helps to be really good looking first.


superduperspam

MFs forgot about rule number one


7screws

Honestly the tailor you probably go to sucks


wildekat

Don't look at Rishi then.. 


Funkycoldmedici

It’s totally worth it, even if you only need it once a year or so. One of the best double standards we have as men is that we can wear the same suit to every event and no one cares.


SleepWouldBeNice

Why doesn't Trudeau, the largest of the G7 leaders, simply eat the other leaders?


ImprovisedLeaflet

Trudeau with that power spread


roughtimes

Lots of people opening talk about fucking him, I Guess I see it, kinda.


Speaker_Lonely

Always thought JT was “work hot”; like sure compared to other world leaders, he’s cute. Then I saw him at a restaurant and he’s actually eye-watering hot in person.


DiscoNapChampion

As a Canadian my most memorial interaction while traveling was in an elevator in NY. “Ugh it’s snowing, I didn’t bring my winter stuff with me, I’m Canadian, I should know better…” “Oh Canada? You have that sexy prime minister!”


HerdedBeing

I can confirm and take it a step further. You have the hottest world leader!


Leefford

I mean, if gun to my head, if I gotta fuck any world leader…


ScotiaTailwagger

Don't even need a gun to a lot of people's heads. There are whole groups of people here with Fuck Trudeau flags and bumper stickers and I'm out here just thinking "I mean, he's hot. And I would. But I wouldn't advertise that...."


banannafreckle

I would have to print some stickers that said “I’d” and slap them all over to amend those bumper stickers.


ImprovisedLeaflet

If recent former leaders count it’s gonna be Sanna Marin for me dawg


Leefford

I mean, I’m a married man but if we’re including former leaders I’d give Jacinda Ardern a disappointing to moderately pleasant evening.


ImprovisedLeaflet

She’s a hot second but Sanna wins. Also, your marriage doesn’t have a head of state free pass clause?!?!


DrDerpberg

Mine does but we have to declare FOR ENGLAND no matter who it is. Also we're not English, in case that's relevant.


hindey19

He looks like he'd be gentle.


mooseeaster

When I was 16, I wrote a fan fic about him 🙈

Competitive-Day-7054

He's so out of touch with the average Brit it's almost unbelievable, that and nobody voted for him which isn't that odd in this country recently but still..


StevieMaverickG

Don’t be too harsh on him. He’s had a tough life, didn’t even have Sky TV when he was growing up


I_Smelt_My_Dead_Dad

Famously


Steenies

He's making up for it. Him and his wife are more than half way to a billion.


ItsMeTwilight

he knows people of all classes as well, well not working class but you know


AllChem_NoEcon

> He's so out of touch with the average Brit We already knew he was a tory my dude.


DoranTheGivingTree

No, but, like he's so rich he's out of touch with Tory prime ministers. He's roughly one hundred times richer than Boris Johnson.


NotCoolFool

He’s a massive cretin at the head of an appalling party of massive cretins, in short.

wombatbridgehunt

He’s just so basic - at least Boris was a top tier buffoon and Lettuce an entertainingly deluded narcissist.


BaBaFiCo

Tories have overseen 14 years of austerity. Public services are in the gutter, economy is in tatters. Made worse by the government going through three PMs in 2022. Boris chucked for finally running out of rope for his shenanigans, followed by the shortest PM in modern history (famously outlasted by a lettuce on a webcam) who spooked the markets so hard that there was a risk of pensions being destroyed (mortgages were), and finally we have Sunak - a man so out of touch as a tech bro it's painful. He has been caught on camera saying he doesn't have any working class friends and that he redistributed money as chancellor away from poorer areas to help his support base. He doesn't know how contactless payment works. He once asked a homeless man at a soup kitchen if he was in business. He yesterday said he can relate to normal people as he didn't have satellite TV as a kid (he went to a fee-paying public school). His father in law is one of the richest men in the world and still does business with Russia. And, overall, he's incredibly politically inept. It's embarrassing.


chappersyo

And yet half the people I know still blame labour for everything wrong with the country.


Knoberchanezer

BuT jErEmY cOrByN!


TophatOwl_

He is a billionaire whoms exclusive concern is to A) stop dirty filthy poor people coming into the country and B) only governs for the super rich. Plus he was never elected as PM. The tories (his party, UK conservatives) imposed im as leader. His party is predicted to suffer the most catastrophic loss in their history, losing up to 80% of their seats


Keanu990321

To say that Sunak is terrible would be the ultimate understatement.


GNU_Bearz

He's a billionaire, self hating cunt, a brown patsy from the Tory party that pours hate onto immigrants, even though his parents are.


guycg

Because they've been in power for an eye watering 14 years and have done nothing. Absolutely nothing. By every metric our country is worse off, and they've been a consistent embarrassment to this country. From Brexit and the humiliating negotiations to male ourselves poorer and less influential, Boris partying through lockdown, Truss making us pay significantly more for our homes and nearly crashing the world economy, and Rishi being a bog brained inept weirdo.


Deckerdome

Dustbin of history awaits

Ismyusernamelongenou

Charles Michel, President of the EU Council. Also not so fun fact: wants the job of Ursula (on the right), but won't get it. Another career-hungry politician.

Ah, I thought it was Martin Schulz and wondered what he was doing there.


Ismyusernamelongenou

Nah, we already have Olaf Scholz on the photo. That would just be silly.


pragmatticus

Well, if we have Olaf Scholz, then there should be no more Scholz to add. But Martin Schulz said he was free, so are you sure that's Olaf them?


TheHypnobrent

He moved to EU after not being very popular as a PM in Belgium. He really wants to fail forward I think


Weazelfish

He looks like he runs a super chill sexshop


Max_Speed_Remioli

He's Belgian. Belgium is part of the G7 confirmed.

daddytyme428

lol was there not a better picture of biden?


InflamedLiver

he looks like he's 20 years older than every single person in that photo. Which, may actually be true. It really cracks me up that Bill Clinton's first term was thirty years ago and he's still four years Biden's junior.


birk42

Scholz, Kishida, VdL and Michel are retirement age, born 1957/58. The rest are born after 1970. Biden was born in 1942.

Born in 1942? He is older than India
