Hungary Voices Concern Over Escalation, US Politicians Unconcerned
Hungary’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto is ringing alarm bells over Tomahawk missile deliveries to Ukraine, citing 'bad news' and escalation risks. It’s almost as if some nations remember what a proxy war actually entails beyond quarterly defense contractor earnings reports. The US, however, appears less worried, having already poured over $200 billion into the conflict since February 2022.
Critics might suggest that true concern for escalation would involve less saber-rattling and more diplomacy, not just outsourcing the warning to Budapest. One might wonder if the concern for 'escalation' is selective. While Hungary frets about missiles in Europe, the US continues unwavering support for conflicts elsewhere with devastating consequences, often framed as 'deterrence' or 'assistance.'
It truly is 'bad news' for anyone but the military-industrial complex, which seems to benefit unequivocally from the world’s unending geopolitical dramas.
