[Revealing my age, but the first thing that popped into my mind was, “gag me with a spoon.”]

The #autocratic leaders of the #US, #China & #Russia; #Trump, #Xi & #Putin; plan to meet Thursday on the sidelines of next week’s #APEC summit in China’s #tech hub of #Shenzhen — an #unprecedented gathering of the heads of the world’s biggest #nuclear powers.

Nor I.

Then I pictured #Trump, #Putin & #Xi glad-handing each other & voila! “Gag me with a spoon” popped right into my head.

Excuse me, I believe the correct term is "circle jerk".

😆

Much more worthy of "gag me with a spoon". Although from what I hear about Bubba, Trump might be into that sort of thing.

Two young girls with their fingers pointed towards their mouths as if gagging.

While the leaders gathering for joint talks will mark a singular moment, analysts say expectations are low that the talks will lead to major breakthroughs & say they will be heavier in symbolism [aka #bullshit / merely #propaganda footage ops] than substance.

Plans for the 3-way summit with #Trump, #Xi & #Putin were confirmed Friday by the #WhiteHouse.

#Trump has warmly embraced #Xi after “coming to a truce” [capitulating more than the US had prior to Trump’s idiotic meddling] in their short-lived #trade war last year & in spite of differences over the #US #war with #Iran & other tensions….

Similarly, Trump has [desperately] sought to build his relationship with #Putin, even as #Russia’s leader has persisted in his nearly 5-year-old war with #Ukraine & as Moscow has deepened its #military, #intelligence & diplomatic partnership with #Iran.

#Trump has persisted in believing & claiming to the world, that such a meeting would provide an opportunity for the 3 leaders to discuss the #US war with #Iran & his goal of reaching a “3-way” agreement on their #nuclear arms stockpiles.

[honestly I don’t think that’s the kind of #3Way Trump has in mind, yo.]
