It's unclear from the article if this is a ghost promotion or not and whether the country's president is actually a judoka.

darnit! I went into judo to avoid politics!

Strange, as this seems to imply that if someone gives you a black belt and you tie it around your waist that you then automatically have the knowledge and skill of a black belt. Seems they are somewhat confusing how to become a politician with how to become a black belt.

Finarishi, my dear friend ...

I would imagine that popes go through a learning curve similar to how one learns to make perfect burgers ...

And as an extra chapter in CK's long awaited yet to be published book, a series of recipes for Burgers  

On that occasion, Mrdić told the Serbian president that he will now "find it easier to talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin - considering he will no longer be the only leader with a black belt."



He obviously is totally unaware that the German Chancellor
....................ANGELA MERKEL ............
is also a Judo Dan Grade holder.
