      Because he’s labeled “IMF,” the biggest Imperialist tool in the world at the moment, and one working intimately with the US and the rest of the Global North. They take advantage of crisis in the Global South, often created by the Global North, by giving needed loans in a predatory manner and add conditions that they must privitize and sell to international companies.

      This meme references Kenya and Haiti, the problems with which Putin and Russia are largely uninvolved while the US and the IMF absolutely are. You could create a different political meme with Russia and Ukraine if you want, but it would need an entirely different format, not just adding Putin to this meme.

      Not every political meme denouncing the US and IMF needs to denounce Putin as well in the same meme, that doesn’t imply support for Putin.
