💢 Rich Does Politics - Trump’s Hormuz Strategy EXPOSED! (Luongo & Flores)

As the US-Iran conflict enters its second month with surprisingly low casualties yet enormous economic reverberations, XF joins Tom Luongo on Rich Does Politics to advance a provocative thesis: the war itself is the policy instrument, not an obstacle to it. With oil prices doubling, Ukraine's logistics collapsing, and tech giants scrambling from GCC data centers, XF argues that what looks like strategic chaos is in fact Trump outsourcing his foreign policy objectives through an apparent adversary because his own bargaining team won't let him pursue them directly.

💢 "Iran Turns Down 48 Hour Ceasefire" story from the WSJ, or Reuters citing them, is from two days ago. But one Russian Telegram channel reported it like it was fresh, and bam bam bam like dominos-meets-echo chamber, people think this is new.

Very soon there will be elections in Hungary, and of course Russia is closely watching this for Victor Orban + Robert Fico are the only European leaders that don’t openly hate them and have been staunchly against funding Kiev. Of course Orban’s “allies” are going to interfere in the elections and blame Russia for something or other. Hungarian special services already nabbed that big shipment of gold and money for Kiev and there have been plenty of articles about how Zelensky’s men are working against Orban.

As I write these words the headline on RT’s site is “Serbia thwarts plot to bomb Russia-Hungary gas pipeline” and there have been plenty of energy games as of late between Kiev and Budapest. Since this channel focuses on Russia perhaps I didn’t make it clear that the ethnic Hungarians have been getting similar treatment to the Russian speakers since the start of the war. And since everyone equates Orban to being a “Putin in Europe” he may just have to take action at some point to save “his” people outside of the nation’s border.

Orban, unlike other populist EU figures will win the next election, he is very good at the game, better than his opponents. And at some point in time I think when Kiev is weak enough, or when the EU is weak enough Orban might just launch his own special military operation. The list of acts of aggression towards Budapest grows and with a fresh election under his belt “things may be different” for Orban’s next term.

💢 “Ukraine is a big part of this. Look at the tempo, clarity, and repetition with which Orbán has been talking about the rights of Hungarians in Ukraine. After the recent scandal with TCC recruiters killing people they were trying to mobilize — including at least one Hungarian Ukrainian — a broader issue came back to the surface: Orbán, his government, and his foreign minister have been arguing that the Hungarian minority in Ukraine is being targeted for mobilization in the first place. In Hungary, the murder of that Hungarian became a kind of George Floyd moment, catalyzing a much larger narrative and geopolitical problem. And when Orbán talks about the future of Ukraine as a state being unknown, I read that as also being about Ukraine’s territoriality and borders. If you know his statements and the context around them, it is not a stretch to connect this to potential Hungarian post-war claims on Ukrainian territory.”
