Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

"I was interpreting this as a commentary on how these countries are being treated by the US"
Considering China is one of the dogs, I think you're right.
The image quality is not helping, but I think that's Turkey, not China.
I'm pretty sure the US is holding hands with Saudi Arabia. Israel could be holding hands with either Bahrain or Qatar, but given the context it's almost certainly Bahrain. The dogs from left-rjght are France (probably), Turkey (probably), UK, Germany, ???, Italy. With Ukraine in the corner.
My vexillology is failing me on the one dog. The lighter blue plus the small dots that appear to be constellations kind of give me island vibes. It's almost like if Tuvalu had just a shield with the English colors instead of a full Union Jack (not that Tuvalu's inclusion makes any sense anyways) in its corner. Doesn't match NATO or the UN or the EU. Maybe it's an old flag, or one for some organization I'm not thinking of?
Australia
Pretty sure that's Turkey
Oh wow you're right. I looked too quickly.
