All right, Alexander, let's talk about Victor Orban and how the EU is looking to punish.

0:09.6

Orban, punish him because he decided to engage in diplomacy and try to find a solution to the conflict in Ukraine.

0:20.0

And that is why the European Union is actively, openly,

0:24.0

admitting to wanting to punish Hungary and punish Raban. And one of the ways that they believe

0:30.2

they're going to hurt Hungary and to hurt Viktor Raban is by scheduling an EU foreign ministers event in Brussels at the same time that Urban and Hungary, which has the presidency of the EU Council, is organizing an event connected to their role as president of the European Union in Budapest.

0:54.8

So it's kind of a protest scheduling conflict.

the three most important capitals in the world. He's been to Moscow, Beijing. He's been to Washington. he's met with Donald Trump, who now looks very likely

2:23.3

to be the next president of the United States after the assassination attempt on him.

2:29.3

And the EU, instead of recognizing that Orban is regarded around the world as an international statesman,

2:41.5

is trying to pull him down to humiliate him, to make him seem as if he doesn't speak for them,

2:54.0

when all that is going to do is going to make the Russians, the Chinese, the global South, and perhaps after November, the Americans decide that
