Mark, The Puppetmaster, sat comfortably in his hidden lab deep beneath NATO headquarters. Before him stood row after row of perfect clones—world leaders, waiting for their next assignments. Macron, Biden, Stoltenberg, even that one German guy no one remembers the name of—all of them were there, neatly lined up in cold, sterile pods, ready for activation.

It was a simple system. Every time a world leader said something stupid, went off-script, or got too “independent,” Mark would simply replace them. "Out of line?" he’d chuckle, pressing a button. "Time for a reboot."

The beauty of it? No one even noticed. Sure, people joked about Biden’s slips or Macron’s sudden changes in policy, but little did they know those "quirks" were the result of cloning glitches. A little memory hiccup here, a slight personality shift there—nothing the public would catch on to. After all, what’s one clone of Boris Johnson more or less?

But the best example? The total collapse of Russia’s leadership. While the world watched in confusion as Russian generals mysteriously disappeared or made baffling decisions, Mark knew the truth. They were all replaced. Every single one. Putin? Swapped out in 2017. Lavrov? Gone in 2019. The new clones had one job: lose, and lose fast.

The reason Russia’s downfall had been so smooth? Every important figure had already been replaced by Mark’s own versions. He even made a few of them shorter, just for fun. "It’s all part of the plan," Mark thought, admiring his work.

He scrolled through his tablet, watching the real-time updates of his clone program. A few more leaders in Europe were acting a little too bold lately. "Time for some replacements," he muttered, already programming the next batch.
