During an interview with Tucker Carlson this week, Orbán discussed his views on the Russia-Ukraine war and the West’s fatal mistake of misunderstanding and underestimating Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“It is not just a misunderstanding, it is a lie,” Orban begins, when asked about the fact that American media obsessively claim that ‘Ukraine is winning’ the war.
Summit.news reports: He suggests that the Biden administration misunderstands Russia, and attempting to remove Putin could lead to dangerous instability.
“To understand the Russians it’s a difficult thing, especially if you have an ocean between you and Russia.”
Orbán points out that Western political conversations often center on freedom, while Russian conversations focus on keeping the country together, and warns against the dangerous implications of the U.S. strategy, particularly for countries like Hungary that are geographically closer to the conflict.
“Don’t misunderstand the Russians. So they’re not going to get sick of Putin and throw him out, come on, it’s a joke.”
He criticizes Vice President Kamala Harris for suggesting that Ukraine could join NATO, saying it was an unrealistic proposal that escalated tensions.
Instead, the Hungarian PM urges a new security architecture that respects Ukraine’s sovereignty but doesn’t include NATO membership.
Seemingly for his unwillingness to simply acquiesce to every talking point provided by Washington, and instead to put his nation’s people first – and their energy and food needs – Orbán has been called a “fascist” numerous times by western media, a ‘puppet of Putin’ and ‘friend of Russia’..

Interview

Orban: The Russians are not strong even to beat the Ukrainians just now, you know, Yes.
Seems to be a bit of conflict there.
You’re right!!!
Lord save us from WWIII—and from feckless mis-leaders who are inviting it!!!!
Not if you watched Orbans recent interview with Tucker. He stated clearly the Ukies are suffering huge casualties AND the western media is deceiving the public.
Putin has given us two choices — help Ukraine fight off Russia or stand back and let Russia take Ukraine. Those who think choice two is the safest choice are clueless about the mindset of the China-Russia-Iran axis.
It isn’t going to happen. Ukraine has secured its independence. All that’s left is determining where the border will be.
