Does the left landmass allude to a specific one, or is it vaguely the downtrodden and beaten up? With the insect-like Great Britain island having a predatory mouth in Whales/Cornwall?

I interpreted it as the US ignoring its role in creating and dealing with the problem, and the earth, as perhaps the least national bit the pacific ocean, is unhappy.
It's just that the left (massive) landmass doesn't resemble the US map, but does look like a bloodied and frowning person (?)
The grey/blue bit with the sign sticking out is recognisably supposed to be the US, right?
Only saw it now
I thought blue is just the ocean, so it doesn't identify with the politics.You are right, it's the US not taking responsibility for bloodying the rest.
When I first looked at it my mind was trying to make the blue ocean and the other land, it is quite an odd choice.Only saw it now

Maybe it was part of the cartoonist's message? While one can read many double meanings (another example is with the "not my king/planet", since here it can be just refusing responsibility but read differently wanting to change the status quo), I do wonder what was the conscious plan. Either way, if a cartoon even allows for reading various stuff on it, it worked imo.
