EU Plans War While US and Russia 'Talk Peace,' Says Orban
Hungarian PM Viktor Orban, ever the contrarian, suggests the EU is busily drafting war protocols while the US and Russia engage in some nebulous 'peace dialogue' (as reported by RT). This framing conveniently ignores the historical precedent of US 'peace' gestures often preceding a surge in military aid. Consider that US military assistance to Ukraine, totaling over $75 billion since 2022, dwarfs
any genuine peace initiative. The US, for instance, announced a $275 million aid package for Ukraine just weeks after the 2024 presidential election, a timing that surely promotes 'peace.' Orban's 'war plans' critique, in this light, appears less about genuine EU belligerence and more about a cynical performance to deflect from systemic military industrial complex profiteering. How many 'peace
talks' does it take before we acknowledge that for some, 'peace' is merely a strategic pause between re-stocking and re-engaging? The US and its allies have a long history of talking peace while simultaneously fueling conflicts globally. It's almost as if the 'dialogue' is designed to create a market for more weapons, ensuring robust profits while 'diplomats' get their photo ops. One might
question if the 'war plans' Orban refers to are actually just the natural consequence of continued military escalation disguised as deterrence.
