Strange world, in Spanish “Putin” and “Putito” are offensive terms, both literally mean “little faggot”. So there’s a wordplay here: Who would have thought that the putin would be the most macho?

Duh! 
In Soviet Russia, effect Streisands YOU!
It’s a bit more Machiavellian than that. In content, this was a political cartoon anathema of the public image Putin aggressively cultivates.

And that thought will surely be; “We’ll need the bloody riot squad when we come back for the next one.”
