Putin and Kim play best bunnies

The get-together between Putin and Kim Jong-un went swimmingly. Face to face they are about the same height, so no problem with eye-to-eye chats. Putin afterwards hinted at military cooperation and they beemed at each other like they were old mates. Which I guess they are. What we don't know is whether Putin actually likes the fellow or can't stand the sight of him and puts up with him because he has so few other friends around the world. I suspect it's the latter. No one likes Kim Jong-un, right? Kim had come to see Putin in Russia in his ridiculous armoured train. It really is something out of a Stanley Kubrick film, weird, weird and even weirder. Two sort of human beings trying to show the world how tough they are. The trouble is, of course, they both have nuclear weapons and both of them have their days when they probably consider actually using them against their enemies. This is the sort of world we all have to live in, sharing it with leaders who contemplate turning the planet into a burning cauldron.
