The main visual element in this cartoon is that many different people are shaking hands with one and other. Another thing is that some of them have more hands so they can shake hands with more people. I believe this cartoon is representing the issue of power control. The cartoonist does not seem to have much of an opinion and he looks like he is just stating what is happening. He shows this by that some are happy some are sad but he has not written any words to show that he is agreeing with what happened or disagreeing with what happened. This I think realates to the Great Powers Game by showing that you necessarily do not have to be powerful or big you just have to be friends with people who are. I think it also shows because the big powers all seem to be friends but the little powers are not all friends with the big friends. Also how there is one country that has been left out of the entire thing and nobody wants to be friends with them.
