Baby-faced versions of Donald Trump and Elon Musk feature
in a new Russian propaganda cartoon for toddlers.

Animated characters of the US president and the Doge boss are
to appear in a new children’s television show on geopolitics
launched by one of Russia’s most infamous propaganda agents.

Called Sandpit, the show is designed to “instil patriotism
from an early age” and teach Russian pre-school children to
“discuss geopolitics”, according to Vladimir Solovyov,
the cartoon’s creator.

Mr Solovyov has been sanctioned by the European Union and
Britain for spreading disinformation that undermines
Ukraine’s sovereignty.

A trailer for the show features animated versions of Mr Trump
alongside Mr Musk, Vladimir Putin, Emmanuel Macron, Kim
Jong-un and Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, all as children,
meeting on a video call.

. . .

Hey, the characters are CUTE ! Propaganda, yes,
but it appears a few Russians have a sense of
humor.

Putin, of course, is keen to impress HIS
version of geopolitics on the kiddies. It
will be half lies/distortions and half truth.

Expect similar stuff, nationally biased, from
other countries soon - the kiddie-propaganda
race :-)

He who controls perceptions controls the world.
