PM Orbán: Supporting Ukraine means supporting the war and tax hikes
Those who support Ukraine also support the war, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in an interview to public radio on Friday.
Supporting Ukraine is supporting war
Given that war costs money, those who support Ukraine and with it the war also support tax hikes taking money away from national governments, “since Brussels doesn’t have any money”, Orbán said. Those who want peace will make it happen, he said, adding, however, that of the world powers, only the United States wanted peace.
He said the biggest obstacle to the US president’s peace efforts today were “the group of European countries that call themselves the coalition of the willing”. “They’re willing to send others to war to die, because they’re not going to war yet, only arming themselves,” he added. Orbán said there was a fundamental disagreement between the US and the European Union on how to end the war, “but they won’t admit it because they don’t want a transatlantic conflict”.

Orbán: Anti-war, pro-peace government key for Hungary
“Europe is heading for war, therefore it is crucial that Hungary should have an anti-war, pro-peace government,” Orbán added. The prime minister said the world powers were coming up with new weapons and “we are clearly at the starting point of an armament race, a spiral”, adding that “everybody is talking about substantially increasing military spending”.

Orbán compared the current situation to the era preceding the first world war, and warned that “Europe’s leaders cannot see that they are playing with fire”. “A bedazzled Europe is staggering towards a situation which poses an increasingly direct risk of war,” he said.
If you really want to save money just dismantle the whole Hungarian military and go defenceless. You can say you are “pro-peace” and against war. That is where Orban’s twisted logic leads. By the way do you remember Russian Orthodox Metropolitan Hilarion who was reported by Daily News Hungary as having regular monthly meetings with Semjen? There is now a video of Hilarion at an FSB shooting range firing a standard issue Makarov MP-443 “Grach” used by the FSB and Russian military. The location of the video has been identified as the FSB’s main headquarters in Moscow on Lubyanka Square. These are the Russians who are embedded deep into the Fidesz government.
