Is the gopnik-looking guy in the red tracksuit meant to be a Russian troll farm operative?

Yeah, that’s how other countries see Americans? This meme is confusing. In the US, most of us don’t usually wear track suits.
I think if you just replaced "see" with "thinks of" it would have been fine
I think most people there who are against this are just too tired to care at this point and are saving their energy for the next election. I don't know if I agree with this sentiment. On one hand there isn't much you can do to change anything but on the other hand, speaking up and protesting will set the stage for the next election. But hey idk I'm not even American but I'm in the EU and they are basically copying them, along with the G7
Seems like of Europeans should be in the streets about Putin? Pressuring your leaders to send tanks and rockets? Sorry that our American idiot has withdrawn military support there. If Ukraine falls all of Europe is next?
Oh right... That's horrible. If that's the case then when election time rolls around I can see protests happening. I hope so anyway.
Also, imo most Europeans at least the people around me and on socials don't feel connected to what's happening between Ukraine and Putin at all. Unfortunately if nothing is happening in their backyard, it's just another news report.
It’s right next door.
Too far. In my country they complain about environmental policies ruining the economy, foreigners and pro immigrant policy damaging the country, housing prices and making sarcastic jokes about our politicians to feel better about themselves. Edit: and declining social services.

I’d love to see someone post a viable plan for America to overcome this problem. Because right now- there isn’t much that can be done that isn’t being done already. And I’ll add that it’s always so easy to look upon the problems of others and judge them as simple to solve, isn’t it?
I mean… how many of you all were in favor of Brexit? From my recollection, it wasn’t very many. Yet- it didn’t seem like anyone did fuck-all to stop it. From over here, it almost seemed like even was totally fine with it.
Additionally, it should be noted that he now has our military loyally shoved up his ass and with them- the technology to turn one house into a crater while leaving the one next door entirely untouched. If you haven’t noticed. We can’t seem to organize a decent-sized nonviolent protest. Hell, we couldn’t even vote this away knowing it was going to happen. The number of citizens that wanted this to happen outnumbered those that didn’t, and was actually helped by the remainder that refused to vote because of single issue bullshit and the fact that they’re fucking idiots.
I’d be willing to bet that there’s not a free-thinking and capable person here that wouldn’t fight for their lives and the lives of those they love if/when it comes to it- but as of now, anyone with a brain knows how futile any fight would be.
But by all means, don’t let this get in the way of all the fun you’re having making fun of people that are suffering and terrified about what’s being done to them here.

Those who voted for him are happy and his approval rating is still high 47%, when I last looked.
