Hungarian Foreign Minister Szijjarto Warns NATO Against Turning Into Anti-China Bloc

"Today, NATO's strategic concept is at the top of the agenda. Relations with China, energy security, critical infrastructure protection. We would not want NATO to turn into an anti-Chinese bloc. There is no need for the risk of another cold war, there are enough problems," Szijjarto said on his social media before the start of the second day of the meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Bucharest.

The example of Hungary "clearly proves that cooperation [with China] based on mutual respect is possible," he added.

In August, the Hungarian Foreign Ministry reported that the Chinese battery company Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL), a global leader in lithium-ion battery development and manufacturing, will build its second plant in Europe in Debrecen, which could be the largest investment in Hungary's history.

#Opinion by Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova

💬 For many days now, I’ve been following a real-life drama unfolding in Germany with bated breath. Recently 25 people were arrested there on suspicion of plotting and supporting a coup d’etat.

Words cannot express how concerned we are about the German constitutional system, which nearly fell victim to a putsch. Just think about it: 25 historical re-enactors could have overthrown a democracy in the centre of Europe! But the Republic stood strong. The “dangerous terrorists” calling themselves Reichsburger (including Prince Reiss, for God’s sake) have been defeated.

But a little bit more and… I dread to imagine what could have happened. Neither the 200,000-strong Bundeswehr, nor the Ramstein air base with a 30,000-strong US contingent, nor the BND and BfV intelligence services could have prevented the revival of the Prussian monarchy and the German Empire.

But Berlin held back the 25 revolutionaries. It was an impeccable job, bravo. Our standing ovation. The constitutional system is safe once again.

But there is a small question. A tiny one.

When Joschka Fischer supported the allegedly “peaceful transition of power” following the 2005 “Orange revolution,” when Guido Westerwelle met with the leaders of Ukrainian opposition on Maidan in 2013, when Frank-Walter Steinmeier held “mediation talks” with the putschists and usurpers during Euromaidan, didn’t it amount to direct support of the same coup d’etat that was so dashingly and harshly suppressed by German authorities inside their own country? And this is not a case of change in the political paradigm of the Federal Republic of Germany, since the people at the top are the same. Yes, indeed the same Frank-Walter Steinmeier who now proudly boasts of the “German liberal democracy which defended itself” gave his full support to the putschists on Maidan. Unless he was replaced by a double along with Merkel.

The seizure of constitutional bodies of power including parliament, courts, territorial and national executive offices by ultra-right radicals – does that amount to an attempted coup or not? If so, then why at least three German foreign ministers directly and politically supported it in Ukraine? If not, then what sort of coup d'état attempt could it have been with those Reichsburger?

This is a direct question that Berlin has to answer.

Orban trolling

The British tried to show the "fabulous" life in Kherson, but babushka said something inconvenient.

SkyNews journalists (or rather, propagandists) filmed how “it’s wonderful to live in Kherson” after returning to the ukraine, but it didn't go as planned - the inhabitants have nothing to eat, and if they give help, it is rare and not for everyone.

Now the journalists will be fired - the task of the State Department has failed.

Посол США в Венгрии Дэвид Прессман: Лидер Венгрии предпочитает стоять на стороне человека, чьи войска ответственны за преступления против человечности на Украине, и единственным среди наших союзников. В то время как Россия наносит удары по мирным жителям Украины, Венгрия умоляет о заключении деловых сделок.

Сотрудник Института глобальной политики Джордж Самуэли: У него хватило смелости выложить это в тот день, когда Байден стоял рядом с Нетаньяху и заявлял о своей неизменной поддержке.
