Europe Can’t Fund ‘Lost’ War in Ukraine Without US, Orban Says (www.bloomberg.com)

Europe won’t be able to finance Ukraine’s defenses against Russia’s invasion on its own if the US withdraws support under Donald Trump’s next presidency, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Friday.

Orban said recent events vindicated the conclusions from his controversial July diplomatic mission to Kyiv, Moscow and Beijing and showed Ukraine was losing the war.

“The Americans are going to get out of this war,” Orban, who is hosting a European Union summit in Budapest on Friday, said on public radio. “Europe can’t finance this war on its own.”

Once again, Orban says exactly what Putin wants him to say

At some point it becomes malicious to even print what he says

Once again, a liberal is upset that a war might end and people might stop dying.

In the past I would have understood this comment as perhaps hyperbolic, but now I do believe they just want to see the kill count go up. If Clinton feels that 40,000 dead Palestinians aren't enough, who knows how he feels about dead Ukrainians and what number would he consider unacceptable.

Exactly, these are complete psychopaths who see human beings as just pawns to be moved around on their grand chess board.

He’s wrong of course, Europe’s economy is many times stronger than Russia’s. The real question is if they can find the collective will to defend themselves.

Orban only fears the EU gives less money to him.
