Putin Spanks "School Boy" Obama in Russian Painting.
A large painting of Putin spanking “school boy” President Barack Obama is displayed prominently in a Moscow art exhibit that opened Friday. This painting is titled “Targeted Sanctions,” a reference to Obama’s response to Russia’s incursion into the Ukraine.
“No Filters,” as the art exhibit is called, has the works of over 100 cartoonists. They depict Putin as a political chess master, a fighter of fascists and terrorists, and a strongman.

Another image shows Putin tugging on Obama's ear, scolding him not to "touch" Ukraine again. A third shows Obama and Ukraine's president, both dressed as peasant girls working the fields, cowering from Putin who sits atop a tank and asks, "Hey girls, have you seen any fascists here?"
Russia has amped up its aggression of late: in addition to its incursion into Ukraine’s Crimea, it has flown bombers capable of carrying a nuclear payload over Europe and sorties over the U.S., Canada, and Japan.
NATO Commander and U.S. Air Force General Philip Breedlove said that, “What you saw this past week was a larger, more complex formation of aircraft carrying out a little deeper, and I would say a little bit more provocative, flight path.” He said this at a meeting planning the 2016 Nuclear Security Summit.
Russia failed to show.
