Western countries want to inflict a military defeat on Russia in order to gain access to its national wealth, as they attempted to do back in 1990s, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in an interview to
HirTV."Western leaders, who are on the war path, want to defeat Russia militarily. Their plan is simple, because it is all about the money, which gives them clout and power," he said, when asked why the West was determined have a military victory over Russia in Ukraine.
Orban recalled
the period of the 1990s, when "Europeans were welcomed in Russia and managed to infiltrate the Russian economy, meeting no resistance." In his opinion, the West tried to exploit Russia during that period, but "the Russians eventually took all matters into their own hands and transformed everything the way they saw fit."
Many Western stakeholders are nostalgic about these times, dreaming about "anther great perestroika in the East," and
hope that the conflict in Ukraine will offer them opportunities in this regard, Orban explained.
He said that various "arms sellers, creditors, and stock exchange gamblers" are already trying to make profit on the conflict.
Comment: And not only Russia's wealth; because Russia's 'soul' poses a significant threat to the establishment's more sinister, ideological agenda:
Hungary does, too, only to a significantly lesser degree:
Viktor Orbán: "The decisions that are made despite our protests are bringing us step by step closer to war.
If you remember two years ago, when the war began, I remember how the German Chancellor sat there and said that we would only give helmets, that there was no question of the Germans giving the Ukrainians equipment that could kill people.
He also said that yes, yes, of course, there should be sanctions, but energy is out of the question, you cannot impose sanctions on energy.
By comparison: German tanks are now rushing across Ukraine, German and other Western European anti-aircraft missile systems are being deployed, fighter-bombers are being delivered, and sanctions are destroying the European economy.
So if we move at the pace at which we have been moving over the past two years, then it will not be an exaggeration to say that we are centimeters away from reaching the last and final stage, when soldiers, Western European or American soldiers, will appear on the territory of Ukraine, so that we are inches away from direct confrontation at the moment.
[And no one but you sees it?]
It's not that they don't see it, it's that they want it. That's the difference. We don't want war, but they want war."
Comment: And not only Russia's wealth; because Russia's 'soul' poses a significant threat to the establishment's more sinister, ideological agenda:
- 'Your Vampire Ball is Over' - Putin to Western Elites
- 'Live as you want, just don't touch the kids,' Putin tells gays
Hungary does, too, only to a significantly lesser degree:
