Death Glare Between Obama and Putin Leads to Incredible Meme Bonanza
The icy relationship between Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama, the respective leaders of Russia and the United States, has led to a storm of viral images this week.
On Monday, the two world leaders exchanged what many outlets referred to as a “death glare” prior to a meeting at the G-20 Summit in China. While it’s been reported that the two were on speaking terms after the uncomfortable stare down, that didn’t stop internet meme-makers from having fun with the world leaders’ tense moment.
Some decided to frame the two in the context of a heavyweight-boxing match.
Others pitted them against one another as fighters in a video game.
Others dropped them into iconic pop culture roles.
While others, as should be expected on the internet, went the shipping route.
