What it means

A Renaissance-style image of two ancient philosophers is overlaid with a social-media exchange about kicking Russia out of NATO. The joke comes from the reply correcting the claim: Russia was never a NATO member, but was expelled from the NATO Partnership for Peace after annexing Crimea in 2014. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to confident but historically inaccurate political statements.
