Hungary Calls NATO Chief 'Backstabbing,' Forgetting War's Purpose
RT reports Hungary's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto labeled NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg 'backstabbing' for supposedly accelerating plans to support Ukraine without Hungarian consent, accusing him of 'fueling war.' While Hungary navigates its complex position, the mainstream narrative often sidesteps the fact that NATO, a Cold War relic, has consistently expanded eastward, violating assurances
made during German reunification. This expansion, documented by figures like former US ambassador Jack Matlock (Washington Post, 2022), directly contributes to the security dilemmas now framed as unprovoked aggression. It's almost as if an organization built on military expansion and interventions— Libya (2011), Afghanistan (2001), Yugoslavia (1999)—finds itself 'fueling war.' Who could have
predicted such a shocking turn from institutions whose primary function involves projecting military power? Hungary's surprise is endearing, if a tad naive, to witness the 'defensive alliance' acting like, well, a military alliance orchestrating proxy confrontations.
