Kim Jong Un to Meet With Vladimir Putin: Let the Battle of the Macho Men Begin
— -- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has RSVP'd to a May celebration in Russia commemorating the Soviet victory over Germany in World War II.
The historic trip would be the North Korean leader's first visit outside his country since he took power and succeeded his father in 2011. It would also be his first time meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in person.
Though North Korea and Russia have been looking to strengthen their relationship, we can't help but wonder who of the two power-loving leaders would win if pitted against each other in a battle of the most "macho."
Round One: Who's tougher?
Kim Jong Un channels Bradley Cooper in 'American Sniper' while looking down into the scope of this sniper rifle.
But Vladimir Putin snatches the trophy in this round. He's so tough he doesn't even need a shirt.
Round Two: Who's a bigger ladies man?
Putin gets surprise ambushes from topless female activists.
But Kim Jong Un wins the gold here. Just look at these military women swooning and crying over him.
Round Three: Who's got the better athlete friend?
Putin gets cuddly with Olympic gold medalist in figure skating Adelina Sotnikova.
Kim Jong Un watches hoops with the tall former N.B.A. star Dennis Rodman.
Putin and Un tie on this one. They've both got friends in high places -- one on a podium, the other on the basketball court.
The verdict?
It looks like the two virile men are equally "macho" and meant for each other after all. Perhaps a "bromance" is in their near future.
