war

Russia\'s war of aggression against Ukraine has shown that power politics is far from dead and that the idea of containing aggressive states like Putin\'s Russia through positive interdependence - as undertaken by Germany - is not enough to guarantee European security.

The war in Ukraine disrupted the illusory peace in Europe. Illusory, because Russia has always been a looming threat to the integrity of the continent, albeit in a less tangible way than a full-on war.

There is an urgent need for stating that no one is less or more deserving of sympathy, support, and protection because of their physical proximity, skin color, or any other reason. This is a lesson we must learn from, an opportunity to reflect on our past mistakes.

It is likely that most voters in Hungary will see Orbán\'s argumentation as a distraction from his close political ties to Putin and a distraction from the close interconnection of Orbán\'s oligarchic environment to Putin\'s oligarchic environment.
