Mmm yes, it technically has the requiremebt for a meme, but isn't there more to a meme than a jpeg and a text ? Like the representation of situations, or things, by the reuse of cultural reference or relatable situation ? Idk, this is is what i think is a meme, here i see a flag with a statement.

I see memes as a way to convey a message, you could maybe have a meme like : *picture of something bad * and a caption saying : "this is ukraine" that convey the statement "ukraine bad"

Note that what i am criticizing here is not the statement, only that the way it conveyed doesn't really fit a meme community imo
