"Putin is strong and assertive; the West is weak and passive". Seems to be a pretty straightforward theme for cartoons really.

Putin's an authoritarian loon and lots of right wing cartoonists biggest complaint is usually that western leaders aren't enough like that.

My point is that Putin likes to project a tough, manly image (both as a person and on the international stage), but they're both total fictions. His posturing has resulted in sanctions that have dealt Russia's economy a significant blow and outside of Russia and their neighbours his influence is limited. So when right-wing cartoonists show him as "strong" and <insert leader here> as weak it means they're thick enough to be taken in by his PR campaign. It also infers that they want their leader to be more like Putin and... invade a country? Oppress the gays a bit?

It doesn't imply anything of the sort. It's not about admiring Putin, it's about deploring the West's inability to stand up to him. [snipped because cataloging Western action & inaction belongs in the EE thread, not a cartoon thread]. You don't need to be a wannabe oligarch or a militarist to think that action against Putin has been ineffectual. Even if Putin's tough-guy image has been exaggerated... It's a cartoon, not an essay for Foreign Affairs, exaggeration for effect is the point.

If your cartoon is anti-Putin then simply repeating the tough-guy image put around by his PR team is a curious decision to say the least.

Among the Russians themselves Putin's constantly having to fight off the perception he's a huge girly mahn since his voice sounds effete to most Russians or something.
