Pokimane Shared Russia-Ukraine Meme

Pokimane is one of the most popular streamers in the world right now, and she has captured the public’s attention for the better part of the year since her recent controversies. 

During her most recent stream, she talked about how she communicates with her Moroccan relatives via the popular messaging program WhatsApp. She remembered that her extended family had sent her a funny meme about their country and the recent Ukrainian-Russian issue when talking about her extended family, and she decided to share it with her audience.

To preface the joke, Pokimane made it clear that she does not agree with making jokes about the current Ukrainian-Russian conflict, but this specific meme seemed to have tickled her funny bone enough for her to share it. 

She couldn’t stop laughing as she was ready to start explaining the meme, so she opted to just show the image to her stream and explain it afterwards. “My family in Morocco were sending memes where- *laughs* No wait, I can just show you guys.” 

She then takes out her phone and begins looking for it while giggling. She flashed the image to the camera after finding it and began narrating what it stated. “Okay, so it looks like this. The top photo is Putin, and he’s asking his Secretary of Defense, “Why did you invade Morocco? You didn’t have to do that.” And then his defense secretary goes, “Naw, it just looks like that.””

After a little chuckle, the streamer goes on to say that the idea that her Moroccan family sent her a meme mocking their own nation is funnier than the joke itself. “Like, my literal family members in Morocco are clowning on how Morocco looks!” 

A Reddit member was able to give a literal translation of the original image, stating that they were unaware Pokimane was such a fan of “dad jokes.” Pokimane, it goes without saying, was a great lover of the meme given by her Moroccan family.
