Emmanuel Macron gives Angela Merkel a protracted hug and tells her “France loves you”

  1. If these two people were just randomers instead of world leaders, it would still be heart-warming to see them. I mean, even if they were dictators or whatever, it would still be adorable.

  2. and because of transitive property, the French president is France (l’etat c’est moi), he was saying I love you without saying it.

    Probably because Brigitte was eavesdropping nearby 😁

  3. Cringe. She has worked against French interests throughout her time as chancellor. End this Stockholm syndrome relationship.

  4. All the Macron’s proposals of eurozone reform were torpedoed by Germany under Merkel’s leadership.

    Good to see that he doesn’t have a grudge against her because of it.

    Edit:typo

  5. On a continent where we’ve spent the better part of 2 millennia kicking the shit out of each other, stuff like this is freakin’ lovely to see.

  6. Everytime i see these two all i can think of some comedic sitcom starring them. One of the few political friendships/admirations that looks genuine.

  7. I don’t know what the political situation is but being told that an entire country loves you by a representative must feel amazing even only for a moment.
