Department of State Monsters

Colombian President Álvaro Uribe: "Look at me! I am Lord Roboto of Megatronia! Gleep glorp! No disassemble Lord Roboto! Beep boop!"

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: "Rrrroooowwwrrrr! I am the Hildebeast! Men quiver at the mere sound of my footsteps! Hear me roar! Rraawwrr!"


I have no idea what's actually going on in those pictures from Secretary Clinton's recent state trip to Colombia, but I'm pretty certain if international relations were managed primarily through fun monster impressions, instead of terse diplomatic negotiations and wars, the world would be a much more interesting, and safer, place.
