(II Principle). "pinione.blogspot.com" September 6, 2014. Blogger. September 28, 2014. <http://pinione.blogspot.co.ke/2014/09/political-cartoons-for-week-september-6.html>.

A play upon the trojan horse, in this case Putin's head, is helpful towards the audience to see that this gift simply a facade. The author is showing the lack of authenticity from Russia towards ending the civil war, but instead, using the cease-fires as disguises to input troops and military equipment into Ukraine. The irony is huge in this cartoon, as the head of Putin is supposed to represent peace, yet within the inner workings of the head are machines of war. This is an excellent drawing in conveying the specific message that Russia is lying and trying to hide their attempts to insert Russian soldiers inside Ukraine. I wouldn't change anything in this cartoon, the head is the perfect analogy for the trojan horse, it's also labeled "Putin" is signify Russia, there are tanks inside the head and Ukraine is opening the door. All in all, this is perfect.
