Trump ebil doctator liek bad guy countries. You're supposed to look at this and smugly laugh about how correct you are all the time as a liberal and how much of a fool Trump is for falling for the empty flattery of these silver tongued foreigners.

But why a see-saw? That implies some sort of balance that got shifted right? The world was in balance before Trump switched sides? Like if Putin and Xi and Kim Jong Un were gone then the balance would again be off?
I think the author doesn't know how see saws work and thinks both sides are supposed to be balanced like scales or something, but they used a set of scales in their comic depicting this same idea last week so they have to do something new.
The more you think about it the less it works. A see-saw is collaborative, if one side just stops cooperating the see-saw stops. And when a see-saw is in motion each side goes up and down opposite the other, which could be interpreted as Amerika being "on top" and then Russia/China/DPRK being "on top", which I presume the author wouldn't want (just a Trump-less amerika being "on top"). And if on side is supposed to always be up, that requires the other side to keep it down: cooperation.
It just doesn't fucking work.

You're right! There's layers to this nonsense
Something something trump is an anti-american russian spy who allies with the wretched enemies of the free world 
Trump literally has a department of war and is explicitly against socialists, communists in US and its colonies
It's accurate, in that China has the most leverage
Cartoonist had a deadline and their kid kept talking about wanting to go to the park and play on the see-saw.
Anyone going to mention how wild it is that Iran isn't in this photo? Are they going to vietnam that suez canal sized elephant?
I'd guess sometime in the first trump admin. Reverse google search suggests 2022 at the very earliest, but that doesn't have all the features it used to have. deAdder's website isn't much help either, there's not much in the gallery and it also fails to include publication dates. I do find this one pretty amusing, and its pretty well done
But what if Kamala had won? Would she have been fat enough to balance out Putin, Kim and Xi?
hallucinated baby brain takes cooked up while drowning in six inches of neoliberal bathwater.
like i sort of glimpsed a vibe (a pro-ukronazi one) for this until i saw Xi/China in the mix.
i guess its meant to be US vs "Asian countries that resist our righteous hegemony" like some kind of 2-sides Cold War brainworm, except the metaphor of the sea saw doesn't work.
this is one of those political cartoons where the cartoonist just wanted to draw political leaders on a playground, but lacks the competence to make it a coherent critique.
Clearly, this is a JDPON Don joke

China, DPRK ,and Russia joined forced and tipped the balance of power so hard gravity forced the US to come to their side. The three are looking forward ever into the future.
The US looks back in hindsight realizing they now have the least amount of leverage.
Not that hard to understand... The US have pretty much switched sides by now, I would say...
Switched? Sides?
What videogame-ass world do you live in?
Peter Molyneux's Black and White.
Is that why i keep getring picked up and thrown down a hill?
Damn this thing is HOT, don't burn your hand.
The US is siding with China, Russia and the DPRK?? And this upsets Putin why?
Which is why we checks notes continue to provide funding and arms to Ukraine and sanction Russia?
You know how they say we’re now living in a multi-polar world? Yeah , that means the various powers act in their own interests, which sometimes aligns with other countries, sometimes doesn’t, but fundamentally means there’s no singular “other side” out there.
Actually it's all just good vs evil and the way you tell them apart is 
In what world is Trump an ally of China? He personally likes Xi, but he's economically targeted China over and over and fearmongers about them and so on.
fascinating. in your mind which side of the seesaw is Netanyahu on?
I fucking wish
Genuinely braindead take, I honestly don't know how you qualify as sentient
