  1. Disgusting. Luckily for Finland, they’re now in the EU and NATO, no need to pussyfoot around that horrible dick tater.

  2. The Beatles – I want to hold your hand ( a perfect song for the picture )

  3. My father used to say that halonen is a closet lesbian communist

  4. Putin formally was Prime Minister (not president) from 2008 to 2012.

  5. Looks like a really keen guy on a Tinder date who’s about to be knocked back.

  6. Worst President we have had, by far.

    What the actual fuck did people think when they elected her, after Koivisto and Ahtisaari.

  7. I’m saving this for all those times people claim X is evil as they shook Y’s hand.

  8. Putin was fresh off the war with Sakartvelo. The willing blindness of some EU countries was and still is sickening. Absolutely NOTHING has changed.

  9. People act like that was not majority of politicans in early 2000s. Now when you ask everyone they quessed Ukraine war like 10years before.

  10. What if the real Putin is no longer alive, he has many doubles. I guess we cannot know

  11. She is distracting his so she can nick his watch!

  12. In Polish Propaganda TV handshake with Putin was used to proof that Donald Tusk was a russian or german agent or both simultanously

  13. It was not our brightest hour. I mean not our brightest 12 years.

  14. Just tryin’ to get her hands on that sweet Blancpain Grande Date Aqua Lung.

  15. Putin looks in Finnish Minister’s eyes and thinks “I will fuck every one of you with my dong of imperial ambitions”

  16. Halonen was a horrible president. Either she was compleatly oblivious to stuff or genuinely trying to hurt Finland. She was an embarassment.

  17. God, I can just about hear the romantic background song looking at this pic…

  18. Yes… the times have changed. Halonen cozied up to Putin way too much anyway. I mean it was fine trying to keep relations but this kind of bullshit was unnecessary.

  19. Let me explain:

    In the “political compass” you have conservative left, conservative right, liberal left and liberal right.

    In the [2000 presidential election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Finnish_presidential_election) second round, we had Esko Aho (Center Party) and Tarja Halonen (Social Democrats).

    As a leftist, non-married woman and an LGB-activist, Tarja Halonen had the support of only the liberal left quadrant. It was 2000 and by default, conservative left, especially working class men, had trouble voting for a liberal “lesbian atheist”. And liberal right had trouble voting for anyone on the left.

    But for some reason Esko Aho ran really, really bad campaign. He focused on appeasing the conservative right, the quadrant that would have voted for him anyway. He focused on conservative, christian family values and managed to scare off both conservative left (especially conservative working class men) and liberal right (especially many right-wing women), losing the election. He probably would have won by default, doing nothing. But he really worked to scare off the two quadrants of voters he would have needed for the win.

  20. I’m feeling somehow relieved it’s not just us Austrians having to feel ashamed of a former politician x Putin handlicker

  21. this f***r already killed people in Russia (opposition, national minorities), however nobody gave a flying f*ck until now, when he, f**n suddenly, turned into the bloody dictator…
