The Art of the Modi-Trump Tango: A Love Story for the Ages

Gather 'round for the greatest diplomatic rom-com of our time: "When Donald Met Narendra." It's like a Bollywood movie meets "The Apprentice," but with nuclear weapons! The Art of the Modi-Trump Tango: A Love Story for the Ages Picture this: Two strongmen with perfectly styled hair (one orange, one white) united by their shared love of massive rallies, Twitter storms, and making their countries "great again."

NATO's Guide to Surviving Your Ex Coming Back as Your Boss For the past year, European leaders have been trying to "Trump-proof" NATO with the same desperate energy as parents attempting to child-proof a house for a toddler who's already learned to pick locks. They were hoping they'd never have to test their defenses, kind of like how we all hope we'll never have to use those emergency airplane instructions we never read. But here we are, folks! Enter Mark Rutte, NATO's new secretary general, who's inherited the job at what we'll charitably call an "interesting" time.
