KIM IN CHARGE Kim made Vlad his ‘2nd banana’ & vid shows moment tyrant ‘took control’
DOMINANT Kim Jong-un forced Vladimir Putin to be his "second banana" as he greeted his Russian counterpart in North Korea, an expert said.But behind the smoke and mirrors of a pally display was a fight for dominance between the dictators, according to a body language pro.leader - who would have been left feeling "incredibly awkward" as he has long tried to maintain a macho image.
Bucy, who works in Strategic Communication at Texas Tech University, said Kim's insistence "reinforced Putin’s status as a client and Jong-unn’s as the host and supplier".He added: "This cringe moment evokes the social hierarchy of a couple on a date, where the dominant partner demonstrates chivalry by opening the door for the other, who accepts the role of second banana.
Making someone "second banana" implies they are the second most important person - rather than top dog. "In the war of images that will unfold during the visit, Russia’s propagandist-in-chief may find himself uncomfortably used as visual fodder for North Korean propaganda purposes." The visit comes amid growing concerns over an arms arrangement in which North Korea provides Russia with badly needed munitions for Moscow's war in Ukraine
Putin also promised to help defend North Korea's interests despite what he called "US pressure, blackmail and military threats".
