PM Viktor Orbán's State of the Nation: 'God Above Us All, Hungary Before All Else' (Video)
RAIR Foundation ^ | 3/8/23 | Amy Mek

Posted on 03/13/2023 6:09:41 PM PDT by marshmallow

‘Pedophilia cannot be forgiven – children are sacred to us, this is Hungary, and this is where the strictest child protection system in Europe must be!’

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán delivers an encouraging but cautionary speech with possibly, profound implications. With it, he holds the important moral ground of peace, not war, as Hungary’s primary foreign policy stance. He also parries, diplomatically, with the eternal Hungarian geopolitical balancing act, one clever thrust of which goes straight to the heart of America’s current ambassador to his country.

He speaks about the national economic priority that is slaying the inflation dragon and increasing Hungarian sovereignty. This will be accomplished, partly by revitalizing domestic agricultural production (thereby making Hungary less dependent on expensive imported food) and continuing with the Hungarian nuclear program (thereby reducing dependency on expensive fuel imports). He lays the blame for Hungary’s inflation squarely at the feet of Brussels’ failed sanctions on Russian energy.

While firmly stating that Hungary is in the Western camp, he defines what NATO is and is not: it is a defensive alliance, with no member state obligated to wage an offensive war. To do so is to act outside of the NATO framework. Meanwhile, he points out the difficulty of Hungarian neutrality given its eastern position. Brussels has elevated a regional war between two Slavic states into a pan-European conflict. He calls this another failure of the Brussels superstate. Orbán deftly stops short of explaining what an offensive-minded NATO and Brussels means to his audience, allowing them to mull their own conclusions.

Peace will only be achieved with direct American-Russian negotiations. By pointing out this clear truth, Orbán illuminates both the Ukrainian proxy role in the war and its marginal influence in its outcome.

Hungarians helped Europe stave off the Mongol and Ottoman invasions. Now Hungary faces a three-front war: Russian aggression from the east, nation-destroying globalist ideology from the west, and migrants from the south. There's a lot of work in front of them.

Jeepers! The one on the right looks like 40 miles of bad road. It might help (a little) if she got those caterpillars above her eyes removed

I love America and plan to die here, defending her if necessary.

That said, one of the very few places I would consider moving to is Hungary.

Prague is in Czechia.

Orban is the leader of Hungary, a different country

Budapest is really beautiful. In spite of all their travails, the City retains a lot of its Austro-Hungarian architecture.
