Hungarian leader praised Republican front-runner as a “man of peace.”

Donald Trump will totally stop funding Ukraine if he wins the U.S. election in November, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said following a meeting between the right-wing figureheads.

“He will not give a penny in the Ukraine-Russia war,” Orbán told Hungarian state media Sunday. “Therefore, the war will end, because it is obvious that Ukraine can not stand on its own feet.”

The longtime allies met last Friday at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, a summit which was lambasted by U.S. President Joe Biden.

    It’s important to remember that Hitler many times in speeches advocated invading Europe, I don’t watch many Putin speeches, but I don’t think he has done that with the US.

        Nothing. It is a strawman to pivot the discussion.

        The further that thread goes it derails into the proxy war fallacy.

        Edit: Aww look. It did. What a surprise!

        That it’s not the same situation. Everyone agrees warmongering is bad, but appeasement was mocked not because it led to the annexation of the Czech Republic, but because it didn’t actually keep the UK and France out of a war. Hitler always wanted to invade France. This isn’t the same situation, because Putin isn’t repeatedly saying he wants to invade NATO, which Hitler did do referring to Poland and the USSR. Putin would likely continue to conquest, almost definitely into Georgia if it doesn’t fall in line, but there’s no reason to believe he would attack NATO

          What on Earth are you on about? His propaganda stooges in the Russian media which he 100% controls says Russia will either nuke or invade NATO countries on a daily basis.

            Source for them saying they intend to invade NATO after Ukraine? (I don’t mean in retaliation for crossing a “red line”)

                That’s messed up, I didn’t know he threatened nuking directly, but I knew state tv had talked about it. But I see that as more a horrific threat than an actual goal- he might be way more crazy than I’m giving him credit for, but I just don’t see how he can actually see a nuclear war with NATO working out for him.
