Tucker Carlson: This Is Why Biden Hates Hungary + Video

David Pressman, the US ambassador to Budapest, regularly tries to interfere in Hungarian domestic politics, but just take, for example, the democracy report that Washington has again used to berate the country. None of these suggest that the Biden administration is seeking good relations with Hungary. But why does Washington hate our country so much? That's what American journalist and commentator Tucker Carlson discussed with Balazs Orban, the Hungarian prime minister's political director.

Washington would weaponize Europe against Russia

The discussion also touched on the Western press portraying Hungary as a tool of the Kremlin, citing Hungary's energy supply ties to Russia and the relationship between Prime Minister Viktor Orban and President Vladimir Putin. The relationship between the two countries is extremely complicated, the political thinker said, adding look no further than the 20th century.

What the liberal elite in Washington are proposing is: you, Central European countries, can be the spearhead against the Russians,

He argues that the US would eagerly arm the region for it to fight the Russians while a new iron curtain descends across Europe.

"We are in the middle of the East-West trade routes. We want to remain a meeting point. Not the last frontier and not the periphery," he said. Also discussed were former US President Donald Trump's statements on NATO, namely that if Europe cannot defend itself, why should the US defend it?

In Balazs Orban's view, self-defense must be a top priority, as without it, a country cannot maintain its sovereignty. "The best thing that can happen to Europe is the re-election of President Trump," he said.

World war looms

He also pointed out that the risk of an escalation of the Russia-Ukraine war, which could lead to a war between NATO and Russia in no time, has increased dramatically. "This is the worst possible scenario." Moreover, the conditions for peace are not improving, but are deteriorating, he added, stressing that maintaining channels of communication is key to stopping the war.

First lets talk about a short-term ceasefire, then a long-term ceasefire, and then the negotiation process can begin - not only between the Ukrainians and the Russians, but also between the Europeans and the Americans,

he proposed.

And the explanation goes as simple as this: because against all the mainstream madness, we aim to keep #Hungary Hungarian, and we are succeeding in this job! https://t.co/GO2XBvPcm5

The discussion also touched on aid to Ukraine, which is regularly on the agenda of debates in the EU. The political chief pointed out that in Brussels instead of focusing on money, strategy should first be decided, and then they should talk about financing.
