Since the start of the war in Ukraine almost a year ago, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has been somewhat of a contrarian, opposing NATO’s designs to use Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a proxy to wage war against Russia. But is Mr. Orbán really a maverick? Or is he simply acting out a role, with very limited autonomy, as scripted for him by the architects of the New World Order?
Our Hungarian correspondent László examines the possibilities.
Viktor Orbán on the Escalation of War
“Getting Closer to Actual Troop Intervention” — a Tinfoil-Hat Analysis of Rod Dreher’s Report on a Journalists’ Meeting with PM Viktor Orbán.
by László
First, a lengthy excerpt from Dreher’s article:
“The West doesn’t understand that time is on Russia’s side in Ukraine. Russia is a huge country, and can mobilize a vast army. Ukraine is already running out of troops. When that happens, then what?” [Orbán said]
“We are in big, big trouble,” he said, of the West. If Russia’s coming spring offensive proves successful, then the NATO countries are going to be faced with the question of do we send in soldiers to fight for Ukraine? This is not something Orbán thinks the American people are considering, but it is front to mind among a growing number of Europeans, whose countries stand to be devastated if war spreads.
Really? NATO troops fighting Russians in Ukraine?
Yes, said Orbán. It sounds crazy today, “but if you look at the tendency of how we got to this point today, it can’t be ruled out.”
The West is “in a war with Russia. That’s the reality,” he said. “Every day we are moving further in.”
To add clarity that was plain from the context of his discussion, Viktor Orbán doesn’t want the West to be in a war with Russia. He is pushing for peace, and has been from the beginning, saying nobody wins from this war. But he says that far too many Westerners are deluding themselves about what’s really happening — and what could happen. The West might think it’s not in war with Russia, but by sending more and more weapons, and getting closer to actual troop intervention, “Western leaders are playing an extremely dangerous game with themselves, with Russia, and with Western publics,” concludes Orbán. A journalist asked the prime minister if he thought the war could go nuclear. “I can’t exclude that they would use it,” he said, of the atomic bomb. He clarified that he was talking about tactical battlefield nukes, not mushroom clouds over Warsaw and Berlin — “but I can’t exclude that either.” If Ukraine somehow, using Western weapons, gets to the point of crossing the border into Russian territory, then the future of the world will be so bright the West will have to wear shades.”
Now, put your tinfoil hats on, before you proceed:
The ongoing world war is obviously a very complex game, and there would be a lot to unpack here from Rod Dreher’s “conservative” PR piece, in order to arrive to a model of reality that is somewhat close to actual truth. While there are a lot of partial truths in this article, on many levels, it is obvious that Viktor Orbán’s take should not be taken completely at face value (as no politician’s opinion should).
That said, the bottom line is that PM Orbán has apparently been initiated — in one way or another — in some parts of the globalist game plan, while at the same time he is playing the game of politics (which he actually enjoys a lot) as a chess piece with limited, but not zero, autonomy. Hence, he knows his place, and knows Hungary’s place (in the New World Order).

Croatian President Zoran Milanovic said that he opposes sending Western tanks to Ukraine, because it will tend to prolong the war. Meanwhile, the Swiss government is considering abandoning its strict policy of neutrality so that it can send military assistance to Ukraine.
