orban continually leads europe into looking at the things facing them that they refuse to acknowledge;

President-elect Donald Trump will withdraw from the conflict, and the EU cannot fund it alone, the Hungarian prime minister says

US President-elect Donald Trump will pull his country out of the Ukraine conflict, leaving EU leaders in an “uncomfortable and difficult position,” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said.

“The situation on the front line is obvious. It’s a military defeat. The Americans will get out of this war,” he told Kossuth Radio on Friday. “Europe alone cannot finance this war.”

Some EU leaders want to keep pouring money into a lost cause but the silence is growing among those with such an opinion, Orban said, while others are calling for a policy reassessment.

Meanwhile, the few nations that have been advocating de-escalation and talks, including Hungary itself, as well as Slovakia and the Vatican, have been vindicated, he added.

Orban’s prediction of a change in US foreign policy follows Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election earlier this week. The Republican has previously claimed that he could end the Ukraine conflict in 24 hours.

The Hungarian leader expects major changes for the entire world after Trump’s win, which he said was so big that “it can be seen not only from the Moon, but also from Mars.”.......more.......
