Amid Putin Threat, NATO Leader Exposes Europe Military Weakness, Pitches Russia-Ukraine Talks

the first thing is that if there is no communication no chance to stop the war so communication is the number one very few wars in the European history went on without communication with the fighting parties and what we are doing is is bad because we don't have communication line to the Russians so we need communication to Ukraine and we need communication to Russia as well if you look at the stories of the wars in the last 30 years at least three ceasefires belong to One Peace plan so you can't start to make peace by peace plan peace plan is very important but First Communication second ceasefire then to start to negotiate on peace plan this is the right order we are not doing that at this moment that's the reason I went to KF first then to Moscow then to Beijing then to Washington NATO Summit and then to M Lago hopefully to the next president of United States uh to discuss the war it's done it's already done you have hopefully hopefully hopefully and if you compare where we are now beginning of September to the position where we were in beginning of July now the level of Confrontation and number of victims far higher than it was so I think my prediction was was was right and my suggestions to the other leaders were right and it's you know that's European Union as I said they don't take it seriously into account and they don't act on that basis they have the right to do so also but it was a bad decision it's impossible to create uh a qualified majority based foreign policy not because only Hungary but all the minor countries so it's impossible that the foreign policy as Hungary is defined by Germany and and uh and France and probably Italy it will never happen that would be the end of sovereignity of our country so not only Hungary but many of the minor countries not as big as you are or the Germans and the French will never accept qualified majority there is a reason why I'm so much in favor of trump because um my my understanding is that um losing the competitiveness of the West and especially the European Union um our response up to now is rather a kind of block formation economic blocks um and we have a political expression of the same thing democracies again also but uh the approach of President Trump was different as is different this is a plan of deal making so what we need deal making approach otherwise it will be difficult to cooperate with the western part of the world economy with the eastern part of the world economy it will be not without conflicts even and discussions and disputes between the European Union and America Trump pass possible presidency does not mean that there will be no difference of interest uh in this field but a deal making approach is far better than to create a kind of blocks of the Eastern World economy and the Western World economy and we are moving to that direction and I think it's totally against the competitiveness of the European Union well I think the experience of this War uh Ukraine Russian war reveal the fact that Europe is weak militarily uh on the industrial size and the Army size as well so we are too small we are too weak uh and without having a coordinated industry of Defense without having a coordinated Army building process of the member states we cannot be stronger than we are today the question is whether it should be inside NATO or outside NATO and the reason why it is a is a is a is a smart question is that there are some members of European Union who are not member of NATO and other members are and the question is whether we can build up a European Defense structure where the nonn members are part of it and at the same time this whole European architecture is belonging to Nato so the question is very much relevant my answer is yes it's possible possible so in my understanding the European Defense System is belonging to Nato and this is the European flank of NATO [Music]
