Description – Holy Cow, Did You See What Pakistan’s PM Did to Get a Word In With Putin?
In Ashgabat yesterday, at Turkmenistan’s neutrality anniversary summit, Pakistan’s Shehbaz Sharif was desperate for a chat with Putin to boost energy ties. But after waiting 40+ minutes while Putin talked with Erdogan, he just walked right in – no knock, no drama.
He joined for ~10 minutes, shook hands, said his piece, and left. The video went mega-viral, spawning hilarious memes about impatience we can all relate to.
Bold, awkward, totally human in rigid diplomacy. He got the meeting… but the optics?
That whole thing in Ashgabat yesterday cracked me up in the most relatable way. Picture this: big fancy hall, tons of flags, everyone dressed sharp for Turkmenistan’s 30-year neutrality anniversary bash. Leaders flying in to clap for them staying out of all the alliances and drama—just pure “we do our thing, y’all do yours.”
Shehbaz Sharif shows up from Pakistan, dead set on grabbing a few minutes with Putin. They’ve been trying to get cozy with Russia—trade, gas pipelines, the usual. He lands with Ishaq Dar, they get told “wait here, it’ll be quick.” Meanwhile Putin’s already holed up with Erdogan, and what starts as a quick hello stretches forever. Like 40+ minutes of just sitting there.
You can almost feel Sharif getting antsy. At some point he just goes, screw it, stands up and walks right into the room. No knocking, no fuss—just slides in while Putin and Erdogan are mid-talk. Hangs out for ten minutes, shakes hands, says whatever needed saying, then dips.
Someone obviously filmed it, and by night it’s all over the internet. Memes everywhere: “when you’ve been waiting too long at the barber,” “POV: you’re next in line but ain’t got all day.” Half the comments are dying laughing because we’ve all been there, the other half acting like he committed a war crime against protocol.
Kinda feel for the guy though. Pakistan probably wanted the headlines to be “big steps with Russia on energy,” not “PM barges in like your uncle at a family dinner.” But honestly? In that moment he was all of us when the wait gets ridiculous and the door’s right there. Got his chat, took the L on optics, and gave the internet a solid laugh.
These stiff diplomatic things usually feel so fake and rehearsed, but this? This was peak human. Impatient, bold, a little awkward. Made the whole summit feel way more real. You gotta respect the dude for just going for it, right.
