TOKYO—Giggling as they exchanged friendship bracelets woven from the fiber of reinforced national borders, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi reportedly cemented a diplomatic bond on Friday, announcing the formation of a "Total Girlboss Axis." Sources confirmed the two leaders spent the afternoon in Tokyo bonding over their shared passions, which include sharp blazers, declining birth rates, and a mutual distaste for immigrants. "Omigod, we literally have so much in common, it’s crazy—we both love traditional family values and hate being told what to do by the EU or UN," said Meloni, who was seen helping Takaichi pick out the perfect filter for an Instagram story of them inspecting a heavy artillery unit. "People are being so dramatic bringing up the 1940s. This is a totally different vibe. This is about female empowerment, gaslighting the press, and gatekeeping citizenship. We’re just waiting for Germany to elect a hardline conservative woman so we can finally get the whole squad back together for brunch." At press time, the two leaders were spotted planning a "super spontaneous" joint naval exercise in the Mediterranean that they promised would slay.
