The Other Person Is Putin

One of these people banned dissidents from leaving the country, shut down protestors bank accounts, declared martial law and banned protests against his regime. The other person is Vladimir Putin.

A two-panel comparison shows Vladimir Putin beside Justin Trudeau, with text claiming that one of them banned dissidents from leaving the country, shut down protesters’ bank accounts, declared martial law, and banned protests against his regime, while identifying the other as Putin. The joke is political satire that implies the first description also fits Trudeau, portraying both leaders as authoritarian and mocking selective outrage.
