There is no political candidate stronger than former President Donald Trump to stop the war in Ukraine, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban told the French news magazine Le Point this week.
"My personal conviction remains that if in February 2022 the American president had been called Donald Trump, there would be no more war in Europe. Today I don't see anyone other than him, neither in Europe nor in America, who is a leader strong enough to stop the war. Peace has a name, that of Donald Trump," Orban said.
Orban also hailed Trump's "America First" approach, telling the magazine that "when Trump says 'Make America Great Again' or 'America First,' it legitimizes us to say 'Make Europe Great Again' and 'Europe First.'"
"Put Europe first, put France first, put Hungary first. This is the normal attitude in international politics, if we wish to find agreements based on the basis of national interest.
"Finally, we should not forget that Trump was one of the most successful foreign policy presidents of the United States," he added, noting that "not a single war was started by him."

Good article this. Nice comments and 100% accurate!
Peace through Strenth is the way. Brandon does interventionalism and weakness.
Strenth in one hand diplomacy in the other.
“Strength in one hand diplomacy in the other.” Couple that with his off the charts negotiating and deal making skills and you have a peacemaker for the ages. That’s not Bravado, that’s fact. Look at his results before the coup. And the trajectory of his diplomatic successes was nearly straight up at the time he was deposed.
Yes. Iran was reigned in. Then the sanctions were stoped. Iran has the whole me to play with. The deep state likes to fight no win wars to pad mic pockets. PT doesn’t belive in l8mited wars. Hopefully, he can draw down our me forces, and keep Iran in check with sanctions and promises of force
100% accurate.
So, I guess the people here who support Ukraine aren't voting for that 'Putin stooge' Trump. Oh well...

Trump accuses 'war mongers' in US State Department for 2014 Ukraine coup
"Also known as the ‘Maidan revolution’, the 2014 coup in Ukraine led to the ousting of the then pro -Russia President Viktor Yakonovich. This is when the Ukraine-Russia conflict originally started.
Trump, who is again in the fray for the White House in 2024, in a video released on Tuesday has promised to remove “war mongers” from Washington.
Trump has referred to Victoria Nuland, who was US Secretary of State for Eurasian affairs at the time.
Nuland met with rioters in Kiev in 2014, where she promised pro-Western politicians a billion dollar loan guarantee program and military assistance, a Russia Today report said. In a leaked conversation from the time, allegedly between Nuland and the US Ambassador to Ukraine at the time Geoffrey Pyat, the duo discussed who should replace Yakunovich as Ukraine’s president.
It is this intervention that Moscow blames to be at the root of the today’s crisis."
It’s no more a stretch for Trump to end up meeting the Iranians in Ankara than it was meeting Little Rocket Man in Singapore. Once strength is established, Trump will offer respect and good faith to anyone who wants to make peace AND do business (very important).
He’s right
Trump is a businessman , not a politician.
Everybody except Democrats and socialists know that war is bad for business for both sides.
Not naming names but if some people at FR would type comments in an illuminated room where they could see their keyboards, we might stand a fighting chance of understanding their contributions.
And I have always thought of foreign policy as ‘horse trading’.
BTW - Harry Truman was a horse trader too. ( I think at Tehran ) Harry handed the Russian ambassador his a#@.
Molotov told Harry, “I have never been spoken to like that.” Harry told him, ‘Well, if you keep your agreements with people, then no one will speak to you like that.’
