At worst Kovacs exposes Orban's tacit support for the invasion. It is clear that Orban has a big chip on his shoulder when it comes to Ukraine. And I am a Hungarian who supports Orban on domestic Hungarian policies. |

Some days, there are single digit vehicles destroyed but hundreds of casualties. Other days, there's a lot of vehicles destroyed and fewer casualties. Is that because there seems to be areas in the war where some days the rooskies throw people into defended positions and other days, the Ukrainians are on the move and catch a bunch of vehicles flat-footed (or maybe that number includes longer-range strikes on logistics hubs)? |

That was a good interview. Interviewer takes a tough approach. Guy from Hungary is a pro in the way he handled the responses. Our government officials would get crushed in that somewhat of a contentious interview. I agree. The host was like a prosecutor. I like Orbon's stance on locking down his borders and wanting to preserve his culture but he is on Russia's side. Maybe he would wish that it never started but if Russia wound up with a quarter or all of Ukraine he could care less. |
