“History shows that staying out of war is the only good response, because small countries can only be losers in the conflicts of bigger ones,” State Secretary Bence Rétvári said at an event marking the European day of remembrance for the victims of totalitarian dictatorships on Saturday.
Speaking at a monument to forced labourers in Budapest’s District I, Rétvári said totalitarian ideologies had gained ground in 20th century Hungary because the wars had “weakened the middle classes”. “During peacetime, when the middle class was strong, there was no room for extremists and they could not enter politics,” he added.
“Neither communism nor Nazism were invented in Hungary; the devastating ideologies of the 20th century had nothing to do with what was Hungarian,” Rétvári said. “That clearly shows that Hungary must focus on its own values, the nation, independence, Christianity and the family,” he added.
Rétvári said Western Europeans needed to know the history of Eastern Europe as well as Eastern Europeans knew the history of the West, adding that knowledge of the past was an important element of equality.

He is right. Let the big ‘uns duke it out.
Besides, it’s ridiculous for Europe to be batting for Ukraine while its own borders are being violated daily, with far worse consequences.
If it would really ever come down to it, let’s be honest here: Would we rather have tens of thousands of violent, third-world rapists, robbers, and murderers on our streets–who will only get more violent, destructive, and parasitic over times–or tens of thousands of Russian soldiers who will eventually leave?
The choice is pretty obvious!
The traitors who are called Fidesz sold Hungary to the Russians. Hungary lives under the new Kadar though half the people are too blind to see it because they have been subject to years of Fidesz Kremlin inspired propaganda that is pumped through the Fidesz controlled and Russian influenced media day and night.
