Did they do that? It seems like they took the president and left.

As far as I'm aware, there hasn't been a massive land invasion nor occupation of the country.

I think that's the point.

If so, it can't be compared to Putin's invasion.

It can, if they are able to get influence in the politics. You don't necessarily need land control to have the country do things favourable to you.

Despite the overarching situation, I have to admit I chuckled.

I don't agree with the situation, but I saw the meme elsewhere and laughed as well and decided to post it here.

Seems a lot of people don't like it, so whoops but I'll live with it.

Funny in a sick, dark humour kind of way. A lot of people don't understand how jokes can be a defense mechanism people learn in response to repeated or extended trauma and mistake that behaviour as making light of the situation. I laughed, but this also strikes me as the kind of meme I would only selectively send to friends of mine who have also been through hell and learned to cope with dark humour. I completely understand laughing at this meme while still being furious at the underlying situation
