He Will Huff and Puff

...and he may just blow the house down

Politico reports that the big bad wolf (aka Vladimir Putin) has called European leaders 'little pigs':

Russian President Vladimir Putin called European leaders “little pigs” who wanted to profit from the collapse of Russia.

In the comments, made on the eve of a critical meeting of EU leaders to hash out a deal to secure funding for Ukraine, the Russian leader said Europe wanted to get back “something they’ve lost in previous historic periods and to take revenge” on Russia.

Speaking at an annual Russian defense ministry meeting, Putin blamed former U.S. President Joe Biden for “consciously” unleashing the war in Ukraine and said that the “European little pigs” immediately backed the Americans.

The funny thing about all this is that the big bad wolf almost did blow the European house down as sanctions backfired and Europe's economies suffered from buying more expensive energy, while China and India are laughing all the way to the bank.

But make no mistake: Biden played a blinder here.

It cost the USA a few billion - best money ever spent according to Lindsay Graham - but Biden's war has successfully humbled Europe and made it even more dependent on the USA.

With no US casualities and only some minor collateral damage:

Ukraine.
