Putin - Modi Meeting: Machismofest

Russian president & machismo-in-chief Vladimir Putin met India's PM & arch-nationalist Narendra Modi in Delhi to discuss bilateral trade and economic cooperation, reminisce about their countries' Soviet era close friendship and exchange views on the therapeutic properties of chauvinism. Putin put a brave, nonchalant face to conceal Russia's economic woes and avoid appearing desperate as he casually asked for some kind of economic boost, whereas Modi dampened down his power-yielding exuberance to hide India's advantageous position as it is also courted by the US.
