Propaganda 101: This fine illustration by Edward Kinsella accompanies a classic demonization piece in the current Wall Street Journal.
This sort of political marketing is designed to create a public enemy of the state as a pretext to a military action against a foreign power.
The illustration is a parody of a Hitler campaign poster and is obviously meant to compare Putin to the literal poster boy of evil. The irony is that this article itself is using Nazi tactics to stir public emotions.
