Hungary's far-right Prime Minister Viktor Orban SNUBS Biden and Bucharest Nine meeting on president's final day in Warsaw after saying only Trump could end war in Ukraine

Hungary's far-right Prime Minister Viktor Orban snubbed Wednesday's meeting in Warsaw with President Joe Biden and the other Bucharest Nine leaders after insisting Donald Trump was the only person who could broker peace with Vladimir Putin.

Orban has been an outlier on the war in Ukraine, chiding the European Union for prolonging the conflict and saying in October that only former U.S. President Donald Trump could negotiate a deal between the Ukrainians and Russians to end the conflict.

'This is going to sound brutal, but hope for peace goes by the name of Donald Trump,' Orban said at the time, arguing Biden wasn't the man for the job because he has 'gone too far' in calling Russian President Vladimir Putin a 'war criminal.' 

During the Wednesday afternoon meeting at the Presidential Palace, Hungary was represented by the country's President Katalin Novák, who's also a member of Orban's right-wing Fidesz party.

Before the meeting, Biden called Putin's decision to leave the New START nuclear arms treaty a 'big mistake' and vowed to 'defend every inch' of NATO as diplomatic tensions between Washington and Moscow further deteriorated.

Okay. I gotta ask, even though I already know the answer.
Why does the Daily Mail call Viktor Orbán far-right, but does not call folks like Barack Obama far-left?

And why don’t they call Biden far-stupid?

“Hungary’s FAR-RIGHT Prime Minister Viktor Orban”

Last time I check, Mr. Orban was not running for “Far-Right Prime Minister”, rather he was running for “Prime Minister”. Did they change the name of the office, perhaps?

Note also that this is an example of how the media interjects their agenda into articles, including headlines. And it works!!! Just look at all of the Ukraine Cheerleaders who are drinking the Kool-Aid.

Anytime the term ‘far right’ is used it is from the far far left.

“Far-right”

Nope. No bias there.

Because the are primitive when it comes to correct foreign policy. They need to start being anti-neocon/neoliberal.
