Stop Judging Others by Western Moral Standards
OPINION

Stop Judging Others by Western Moral Standards

The violent persecution of minorities and various disenfranchised groups should be challenged at international fora and on the level of public diplomacy, and not in the football field with embarrassing stunts.

Minority SafePack: Indigenous Minorities Let Down by Europe — Again
OPINION

Minority SafePack: Indigenous Minorities Let Down by Europe — Again

Minority SafePack might be over, but the fight isn’t. Even if Europe lets its indigenous ethnic minorities down, the Hungarian government, for one, will never stop being responsible for those beyond its borders.

US Midterms: Dems Terrified of US Becoming… Hungary?

A further addition to the tearful eulogies galore for American democracy, Paul Krugman’s New York Times article likens the Democrats’ nightmare scenario to Orbán’s Hungary. Really?

No, the Science Isn’t Settled: How the Media’s Misrepresentation of Scientific Evidence Damages Our Societies

Doubts expressed about the validity of that science can no longer be entertained, and questions directed toward its emissaries can no longer be answered.

A Note on ‘Exceptionalism’

All empires and major powers have a strong sense of their own exceptionality, so criticizing Russia in that regard is not reasonable.

‘No Nut November’ and The War on Abstinence

The internet challenge intended to raise awareness about the negative effects of pornography is getting more popular every year. But so is opposing it.

OPINION

World War I All Over Again?

While early into the war in Ukraine most newspapers and politicians used World War II as an analogy to understand current events, 10 months into the war more and more writers begin to compare the invasion of Ukraine with World War I – here is why.

Capabilities and Functionings — The Limits of Control

Russia did not accept that after the dissolution of the Soviet Union it has different capabilities to engage in global affairs—which led to its misguided foreign policy.

Angry With Hungary, but Deaf to Their Own People?

As Western pundits and politicians are busy condemning Hungary for its national consultation about energy sanctions, they ignore the anger boiling up in their own countries.

OPINION

The Western World Is Pushing Central Asia into Extreme Poverty with Its Sanction Policy Against Russia

Sanctions that target a whole country instead of specific individuals always hurt the innocent, ordinary people the most. Be these people European citizens who cannot afford to pay their electricity bills, or Central Asians who now live in extreme poverty, generic sanctions punish those the most who are the least responsible.

Our Neighbour Is Hard to Like
OPINION

Our Neighbour Is Hard to Like

The past will not be annulled by short-sighted and counterproductive acts like the removal of the turul statue. What those acts do, however, is demonstrate to Hungarians that despite all the good will, aid, and political support bestowed on their neighbours, there is not much good to expect from Ukraine when it comes to its ethnic minorities and friendly neighbourly relations.

The RAF and the Price of Wokeness

While the Royal Air Force is busy filling up its ranks with diversity hires, Beijing is happy to employ British ex-pilots to train the next generation of Chinese fighters. As crisis looms over Taiwan, these pilots’ experience is vital for China.

Understanding the CCP Through Marxism-Leninism

While some believe that communism ‘fell’ in 1989, over one billion people still live under Communist dictatorship in China. The best way to understand the logic of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), as well as the recent National Congress of the CCP, is to study Marxism-Leninism.

MIT Physicist: One-in-Six Chance of Imminent Nuclear Apocalypse

A scientist used mathematics to calculate the odds of global nuclear war. While the numbers paint a grim picture of the future, the assumptions they are based on are hypothetical. Nonetheless, world leaders should definitely take note.

Xi’s Last Bid to Become China’s Ultimate Despot

Xi has been ruthless in his ten-year rule of China, curbing personal freedoms such as free speech and freedom of religion, arresting anyone who raised their voice against his authoritarian regime.

Unelected Von Der Leyen Poses as Single Leader of Europe 

Most Europeans have had enough of the shady, behind-the-scenes dealings in European politics and of needing to swallow every bitter pill they are served by unelected bureaucrats with too much power and too little competence.

The Nord Stream Conundrum: Cui Bono?

War is as much about controlling information as controlling the battlefield. We may never learn who the culprit is behind the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines, but it is clear who benefits from it the most—and who does not.

Fleeing Russians Should Be Allowed to Enter Europe

While Russians are desperately trying to flee their country to escape mobilisation, their struggle for life and personal freedom receives little empathy from the West with the Baltic countries bordering Russia gradually closing their borders.

How the Abortion Issue Made the Midterms an Uphill Battle for Republicans

Making abortion a decisive issue when Republicans lead Democrats only by a thin margin is nothing short of a political gamble. As voters see this year’s midterm elections even more consequential than usual, a higher turnout and potential crossover voting might surprise us all this November.

The European Union’s Push To Control Hungary May Drive It Away

Hungarians struggle with the question of whether they feel more oriented to the East or to the West. The tightening grip of the European Union may cause them to think their future is not with Brussels.

The Prolongation of the War Undermines the Current World Order

The bleeding out in the Ukraine war may be the beginning of the decline of Moscow’s global influence. With the EU also weakening economically due to the energy crisis, the current multipolar world order is expected to change, leaving the US and China as the leaders of a bipolar world.

Communist Dictatorships Deprive Nations of Their History

Over the last couple of years the censorship of historical narratives has intensified in China. The assault on history is shared by all communist dictatorships and it goes against the conservative understanding of societies.

The West Forgot What ’Autocracy’ Really Means
OPINION

The West Forgot What ’Autocracy’ Really Means

Autocracy is not only about a set of institutions—it is also about how people live their lives in a political sytem. As opposed to what the misguided vote in the European Parliament that classified Hungary as an ‘autocracy’ insinuates, Hungarians live freely, which is a testimony to the fact that Hungary is a democracy.

Shadow Government Overshadowed by Credibility Issues and Lack of Diversity

Hungary’s first ever shadow government was announced by Democratic Coalition (DK) MEP Klára Dobrev a couple of days ago. Unfortunately, there are quite a few problems with this promising initiative that spoil the picture.
