As more than 60 NGOs appeal to Brussels to step in and fill the gap left by the halted US foreign assistance following Donald Trump’s decision to shut down USAID, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán vows that the globalist network will find no safe haven in Europe.
‘The criminality in all this is that Zelenskyy and the U.S.-led West know that the Ukrainians are not going to win on the battlefield, and that Ukraine has effectively become an economic and politically dysfunctional rump state. Yet both want the war to continue, whether for lucrative reasons or not.’
Donald Trump’s team is scheduled to meet the Russian delegation on Monday in Saudi Arabia for the first round of peace talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.

The same author for Vox published the same article comparing President Trump’s ‘authoritarian’ ways of governing to that of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán back in 2018, and another piece about the parallels between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and PM Orbán in 2022. Just last July we reviewed an oddly similar piece by The Atlantic as well.
‘Socialists and liberals are afraid of losing power, and for some time now they have been blaming political opponents for influencing electoral processes or government agendas through external forces.
