Putin allowed himself to be portrayed as smaller than his foe?

I think he'd be more upset that he's not portrayed as having a massive package in those scenes, except for maybe riding the Crimean ox.

He's a little on the short side.

They are not exactly going for realism in these works.

Don't buy the tshirts with the Kremlin decal.  The decal comes off in the first wash.

For some bizarre reason I am suddenly worried by the prospect that someone who may not be entirely mentally stable is one button away from launching nuclear weapons on the rest of the world.  I think I am just paranoid, but the thought did strike me yesterday.

Putin isn't crazy.

His adoring fans/Putintards can be.  And those kinds of Russians love to go over-the-top with this kind of stuff.

Instead of 12 Labours of Putin, I'd like to see a cossack with the balls to draw Putin in 12 Hours of Labor.
