It sure would be nice if someone gave some context for the poor dummies not familiar with this pic or who’s all in it. (Glad I’m not one of those silly heads)

Merkel (Germany) being sick of Trumps shit (during his first term). In the background i can only recognize Shinzo Abe (Japan). This pic is from a G7 Meeting.

Germany's Angela Merkel called the U.S. president's words "sobering and a little depressing."

Meanwhile, the Italians thought he was too chaotic and disorganized, the Greek didn't like his lack of work ethic, the French objected to his constant philandering and the British were put off by his taste in food.

This is brilliant. I fear it may be too subtle/dry for many people to get, but top shelf regardless!

You're really telling on yourself if you think that listing the most common stereotypes of these countries is somehow subtle

Without an /s trailer, lemmy can be straight clueless.

John Bolton is also quite recognizable. The rest, I can't place, either.

Also Macron from the cheek bones

And apparently Larry Kudlow (trump economic advisor kinda dude).

Teresa “I prefer spinach” May was between them but not visible here

My point is that Trump's bullshit is well-known by now and no one really prepared for a second term. Added symbolism is that both Merkel and Abe aren't politically active anymore and Europe/Democratic Asia still hasn't united.

Wars in East Europe, Levante, South Asia, Southeast Asia and no one has a plan, because the self-declared leader of the world plays obstinate child.

I don't think Abe is active in any way anymore

[-] officermike@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Actively decomposing, unless he was cremated.

TIL. So yeah, what remains of Abe is not very active at all, as far as what's observable to the unaided eye. I'm sure there's some trace amounts of radioactivity in the ashes and some molecular movement due to the fact he's not stored at absolute zero.
