Anything to distract his attention

A man (European statesman--to blame for Europe's troubles) has climbed up a tree and is holding a stick with a flag (America is to blame for everything) in front of a bull (Europe). On the ground lays a slingshot (blundering statesmanship), and in the background Uncle Sam scratches his head as he watches the scene.
