Back to Europe.
Will there be a European war?
This is already reality. The Russo-Ukrainian war is a European war. Europe plays with fire since 2014.
Western politicians describe this conflict as the clash between democracy and authoritarianism. He says he doesn't know if they believe it or they just saying so but this has nothing to do with reality. He says even if this was real it won't be relevant at all. It's about the balance of power. As Ukraine moves towards a side it will create an imbalance. He says it's perfectly fine if Ukraine wants to join NATO or EU, and it's fine if these accept Ukraine, but the moment Ukraine moves to that side, this will change the balance and create an existential threat to the other side which will react so. Even good will can start wars, if applied at a bad place, with bad timing and bad methods.
He refers to the security dilemma of Realpolitik ofc. But he doesn't go there explaining.
He says the European war wasn't a result of a decision, but it was a consequence. The same with world war. He says they have an inside joke: those who invent the global order they invent the global collapse too, as those who invented the train, they invented train crashes.
He says if the global order collapses there will be regional survival zones. And the big question is how the European will look like and how will fit into that. Especially that Europe got into this war.
He says he has the experience from the meetings of the heads of states and governments of EU member countries. He says the EU decided to go to war, that will continue to support Ukraine even if the US leaves. The peace project of EU became a war project. Hungary decided not to go to war. The EU decided Hungary has to as well. The EU decided that Hungary has to have a pro-Ukraine and pro-war government, they are entering into our internal politics. Orbán and the Fidesz decided it won't be so.
