A piece of street art depicting Russian president, Vladimir Putin, and US presidential hopeful, Donald Trump, locked in a passionate embrace is going viral because well... why wouldn't it?
It's been painted on the side of a barbecue restaurant in Vilnius, Lithuania.
Mindaugas Bonanu, the artist behind the portrait, drew inspiration from a photograph that gained notoriety in 1979 that showed Soviet leader, Leonid Brezhnev, and East German President, Erich Honecker, locked in an equally passionate embrace.
This modern-day take on that particular piece of art is especially fitting, as Putin and Trump have expressed mutual admiration for each other over the last few years.

Putin called Trump "a very colorful person, talented without any doubt." In response, Trump said it was "a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond."
However, during his presidential campaign, Trump's campaign released a video that depicted Russia as a geopolitical rival.
Well, you know what they say. Treat 'em mean to keep 'em keen.
