Dictators Dummkopf Trumpf and Vladimir Putin are now using the same porcine term to slander their opponents: "Little pigs."

Speaking at an annual meeting with the defense ministry, Vladimir Putin said the aims of what Moscow calls its "special military operation" would be met "unconditionally."

"If they do not want a substantive discussion," he bleated, "then Russia will liberate its historical lands on the battlefield."

He then lashed out at European leaders, accusing them of joining in with Joe Biden's administration. "Europe's little pigs immediately joined in the work of the previous American administration, hoping to profit from the collapse of our country," the ICC-indicted war criminal whined.

The Russian dictator also denied that Moscow was planning to invade NATO territory, claiming instead that the alliance had begun preparing for a possible military confrontation with Russia, with a view to 2030.

An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC remains active for Vladimir Putin. The allegations: The war crime of unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation (under articles 8(2)(a)(vii) and 8(2)(b)(viii) of the Rome Statute). The crimes were allegedly committed in Ukrainian occupied territory at least from 24 February 2022.

An indictment is merely an allegation. Mr. Putin is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt at an international tribunal to be held for him at the Hague at a future date.

Ukrainian casualties are much lower than the Palestinians because Kiev has a modern, well-equipped and experienced military which is supported by the EU, unlike the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Both peoples are fighting for their survival against the existential threat posed by two brutal ICC-indicted war criminals.
