A Perspective from the Edge

"Call back Trump."

~ Prime Minister Orban, Hungary

Perhaps because I was just a visitor to the beautiful and vibrant nation of Hungary two months ago, the Tucker Carlson interview with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban resonated very strongly. 

It's worth every second of a half hour to hear this man who prioritizes "family, nation, and God" ahead of political affiliations speak about his country, his people, and the war in Ukraine--with which Hungary shares a border. It's vitally important to gain the perspective of a world leader whose country is living so close to the edge of wartime destruction.  Orban makes a convincing argument that the key to peace in Europe is the reinstatement of President Donald Trump. 

Americans might be surprised to learn that some of our tax dollars were diverted to a campaign against Orban's reelection. It didn't work. Orban was comfortably reelected. Then Carlson asked him if he ever considered bringing charges against his opponent. Orban declares such a tactic "in Hungary, that is impossible to imagine...that was done by the Communists." Indeed.

US leaders tend to think they know it all and to be dismissive of other nations. These so-called leaders should watch, listen--and, just possibly, learn something of value from a true leader.
