 * Propaganda used in the USSR during the Cold War**

This picture is an example of a type of propaganda called pinpointing the enemy. Uncle sam; a famous, patriotic American icon, is seen pouring money into the barrel of a cannon. He is completely aware that there is a starving angel begging him for money, but he completely ignores it. The purpose of this picture was to show that Americans were evil, and that they were completely obsessed with war, money, and power. They paid no attention to anyone else, even those in need.
