Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in a radio interview on Nov. 3, as cited by Hungarian news outlet Telex, that if Donald Trump wins the U.S. presidency, "Europe cannot remain pro-war," supposedly referring to EU's defense assistance to Ukraine, which Orban has repeatedly criticized.

    What he’s actually saying is that Trump intends to ally with Russia against Ukraine and, if necessary, against Europe as a whole.

    And he’s right.

    Trump, and more to the point, his handlers, intend to turn the US into an openly corrupt and oppressive oligarchy (that’s rather obviously the explicit point of Project 2025) , and they’re going to ally with the world’s other openly corrupt and oppressive oligarchies, including Russia and Hungary.

    Hey, if they make Putin actually stop the war and give Ukraine a proper diplomatic option, I’m all for it. As it stands, they are “pro-war” themselves - a very one-sided war

    Quite the contrary. If Trump gets elected, Europe finally needs to realize they can’t rely on the US and take their own steps to ensuring their security. It should have happened after 2016 really, which makes me skeptical anything will convince them.
