Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán gave an interview to Tucker Carlson, former Fox News anchor. The conversation focused on Russia’s war in Ukraine, the threat of a third world war, the importance of peace and former US president Donald Trump.

Sovereignty for Ukraine, but not NATO membership

Orbán called for an agreement with Russia on a new security architecture “to provide security, sovereignty for Ukraine, but not NATO membership”.

“We are living in a very dangerous moment,” he told Carlson. “So the third world war could be knocking on our door,” he added. He said “we have to be very, very careful”. “And that’s my message always to America, as well as NATO summits, be careful with that”, he added.

“If any western country would send boots on the ground, that would mean a direct war between the West and Russia,” Orbán said. “And we are in a third world war, immediately. So it’s a very dangerous moment now.” he added.

We cannot defeat Russia

He said that in the end, it is the number of soldiers on the battlefield that will count. And the Russians are much stronger in this, much more, much more than the Ukrainians, he added.

“We have to understand that we cannot beat them with the current method. It is impossible. They will not assassinate their leader. They will never give up. They will keep the country united and they will defend it,” he said of Russia and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Orbán said that the only solution is peace. If the United States wanted peace, there would be peace the next morning. If money and equipment do not come from the West, especially from the United States, the war is over, the Prime Minister said, stressing that “the solution is in your hands”.

Only the United States can do it, no one else, the Ukrainians cannot. Of course, it is all about the Ukrainians, they cannot be ignored, they must be involved, but the real factor is not Ukraine, it is the will of the United States, the Prime Minister stressed.

“Trump is the man who can save the Western world, and perhaps humanity”

“Call Trump back! This is the only way out”, Viktor Orbán said, comparing the foreign policies of Joe Biden and his predecessor and challenger Donald Trump, napi.hu writes.

He has had the best foreign policy of the last few decades. He has not started any new wars. He has handled the North Koreans and the Russians, even the Chinese, well. He has pursued a policy that has been the best possible for the Middle East, he said about Trump.

He also said that if he had been president at the moment the Russian attack started, the Russians would not have done it. “So Trump is the one who can save the Western world, and perhaps humanity on the planet. That, that is my personal belief.”
