The Hungarian Armed Forces are capable of guaranteeing the security of Hungarians, Lieutenant General Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi told news channel M1 on Wednesday.

Referring to his recent visit to Washington, DC, for talks with Chief of Staff General Mark Milley, the head of the Hungarian Armed Forces said they had discussed “all possible scenarios”, from worst-case to least likely. They also briefed each other on intelligence gathered by their respective secret services.

“The Russians have the capacity to mount an attack, Ukraine is capable of defence, and NATO can protect the countries of the alliance … the rest are political issues,”

he said.

Meanwhile, the Hungarian Armed Forces are prepared to defend the country, and “will demonstrate their preparedness in exercises before the public and [NATO] leaders”, he said.

Although NATO observes the principle collective defence, for the time being Hungary is planning defence on a national level, he said.

Ruszin-Szendi and Milley also discussed US-Hungary military cooperation in other crisis regions such as the Balkans, the Baltic States and Africa, Ruszin-Szendi said.

    If the Hungarian Government minds its own business and refuses to allow the North Atlantic Terrorist Organization (NATO) to use Hungary to launch attacks into Ukraine against Russia, . Hungary has nothing to worry about, on the other hand if it allows itself to be drawn into a fight they do not need to get involved in Hungary could find itself under military attack and or occupation after Russian finishes off NATO and the Ukraine, Does Hungary really want to become an occupied nation again? Mind our own affairs and stay out of it.

    Hungarian army is inexperienced with battle and combat. If it will foolishly draw itself to fight the Russian, then bye bye it is.
