Power wars?

Two countries having the one power couple leading them? For Western Asian countries that were chipped off the old Asian continent, Nesianesia and Comsomoland are two examples of countries in the new millennium that are creating a new historical narrative.

But for Gayle Givenca to lead Nesianesia and Ridividath Bennio to lead Comsomoland at the same time is indicative neither of a partnership or a clash. It is just that two neighboring countries have never been led before by two people from the same power couple.

But the diplomatic standoffs and the border incursion row between the two nations that’s almost led to the biggest war in the new continent was at times brewing on two sides of the same bed it seems.

While prime minister Givenca and president Bennio have largely evaded answers to whether they declared war against each others countries while enjoying a holiday and while sleeping together on the same hotel bed, this has only made the media double down on the speculation.

However the issues between the two countries have been falling into the category of love-hate latterly. While so many trade and business related MoUs have been signed by officials of the two countries, cross border tensions and other defence related issues have made analysts wonder whether the two countries would ever get along.

However, their leaders do. Though the Givenca-Bennio romance has been an on again off again affair as far as the media had depicted it for a long time, even the media is today by and large depicting the relationship as not just steady but as shmaltzy as ‘schoolchildren in love.”

But there are other more dangerous dimensions to the story, and who doesn’t know that both leaders have been termed traitors by detractors in both countries because they believe that they have been passing secrets in bed to their partners. Facetious? May be, but this is how it is in this part of the world when what was hitherto considered impossible has happened.
