Leaked conversations, which were subsequently published, included US State Department employees bluntly discussing world leaders – some of whom already had fractured relationships with the US government.
In one leaked cable, diplomatic officials were heard speaking about then-Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi being accompanied by a “senior Ukranian nurse” described as a “voluptuous blonde” during his 2009 trip to New York for a United Nations session, The New York Times reported. During the same visit, Gaddafi was forbidden from visiting Ground Zero – the site where the World Trade Center was brought down in a terrorist attack on September 11, 2001.
In another cable, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was described as having a “thin-skinned and authoritarian personal style” after State Department employees witnessed him berating other French officials. Another cable said that Sarkozy was “a naked emperor.”
A 2008 dispatch from the US embassy in Moscow described then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev as “afraid” and “hesitant” compared to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s “alpha dog” persona. Other communication remarked that Medvedev “plays Robin to Putin’s Batman.”
