US Senator pressures Hungary over NATO expansion

James Risch said he would stall on selling HIMARS batteries until Budapest approved Sweden’s application to join the military bloc

Top RepublicanSenator James Risch is blockinga US arms deal with Hungary worth hundreds of millions of dollars over itsreluctance to ratify Sweden’sapplication to join NATO, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday.

In a statement to the paper, Risch – whoserves as a ranking memberin the Senate Foreign Relations Committee – said that until Hungary made progress in this regard,he would continue to stallon selling a $735-million arms package that includes 24 HIMARS batteries, as well as the ammo and hardware that comes with them.

“For some time now, I have directly expressed my concerns to the Hungarian government regarding itsrefusalto move forward a votefor Sweden to join NATO,” he said. “The fact that it is now June and still not done, I decided that the sale of new US military equipment to Hungary will be on hold.” (Maybe Orban is opposing it because he regrets ever joining this cult of death)

Any major US arms deal must be greenlit by top members of the Senate and House foreign affairs committees before the State Department is allowed to make a public announcement.

However, the Hungarian Defense Ministry pushed back on the senator’s comments, sayingit did not plan to buy any HIMARS from the US at all. It explained that during the previous government cycle officials in Budapestrequested informationregarding the systems with a deadline of March 2022.

“There was no response from the American side, and the ministry considered the matter closed,” it said.

Sweden and Finland applied to join NATO last May, ditching theirdecades-long neutralityafter the onset of the Ukraine conflict. While Finland officially became the bloc’s 31st member in April, Sweden’s application remains in limbo, waiting to be ratified by two members of the alliance – Türkiye and Hungary.

While Ankara has demanded that Sweden crack down on Kurdish groups it deems terrorist, Hungary has been holding up the accession process due toStockholm’s criticism of Prime Minister Viktor Orbanover his record on democracy and the rule of law.

Relations between the US and Hungary have also soured in recent months, with Washington sanctioning a Russian-linked investment bank and three of its executives in Budapest. The move came after Orban has repeatedly claimed that theUS and its allies were pressuring its country into arming Ukraine– a policy Hungary has been reluctant to embrace.

(Lesson: never join the cult of NATO because they must have war to be relevant. US still contributes 4% of GDP to keep them going, which is outrageous because it will never help our country. Plus NATO is just a state sponsored Mafia of many countries joined as a clique!Definition of Risch being the ranking member: rank: offensive in odor or flavor. especially: RANCID)

Germany names biggest threat to ‘peace and security’

Berlin has accused Moscow of jeopardizing strategic stability

Russia has been declared the biggest security threat in a top German strategic policy paper. Presented on Wednesday,Germany’s first ever National Security Strategydescribes Moscow as a force threatening both regional and global order while stating that NATO is “always ready” to “defend its allies.”

Moscow’s military campaign in Ukraine, which the document repeatedly terms a “war of aggression,” is described as a “breach of international law and the European security order” in the paper. In it, Berlin accuses Russia of carrying out an imperialist policy and seeking to establish a sphere of influence on the continent.

“With this epochal breach of theEuropean peace order, Russia directly threatens our security and that of our NATO allies and the EU,” the strategy says, adding that “for the foreseeable future, today’s Russia is the greatest threat to peace and security in the Euro-Atlantic area.”

The document thenclaims that “neither Germany nor NATO” are seeking rivalry or confrontationwith Moscow. The military bloc is “always ready” to protect both the sovereignty of its members and of its allies.

In his foreword to the document, Chancellor Olaf Scholz also said that Russia’s military operation in Ukraine had “put theEuropean security orderfundamentally in question.” He labelled it a turning point that Germany would use as an opportunity to sufficiently outfit its armed forces, the Bundeswehr, to equip them for modern-day challenges. The chancellor also described the Bundeswehr’s core mission as an ability to defend both Germany itself and its allies against “any potentially conceivable attack.”

Moscow has repeatedly stated thatWestern hegemonic aspirations led to the conflictbetween Moscow and Kiev, as well as a deep crisis in relations between Russia, the EU and the US. Last week, Russia’s top senator, Valentina Matvienko, said that it wasWesternnations that hadembarked on a path of “fierce confrontation” with Moscow.

The West always saw Russia as something alien to its civilization, the senator said, adding that Moscow had done “everything in its power and even more” to ensure its security and defend its legitimate national interests through peaceful means. The US and its allies only understand the language of force, she insisted, and claimed that contemporaryWestern leaders are obsessed with the feeling of exceptionalism. (Well not anymore, Obama accomplished that with Bidan)

It is thefirst time the German government has published a complex outlookon the nation’s external and internal threats ranging from military risks to cyber-attacks and climate change. The paper was jointly presented by Scholz and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser and Finance Minister Christian Lindner.

Speaking at the presentation, Scholz maintained that Germany’ssecurity identityis still “anchored in the European Union and the Transatlantic Alliance.” He also pointed to Berlin’s “deep friendship with France” and“close partnership with the USA" during the speech.

Baerbock spoke of the need to develop such a strategy back in March 2022, less than a month after Russia launched its military campaign in Ukraine. According to the German media, it took the government months to agree on the document.

(These people are so crazy & stupidIt’s literally unbelievable. WTH, they are creating this new language along the NATO “rules based order” but they never explain the rules.)

Russia moves to ban sex changes

Amendments to two laws are making their way through the State Duma

The Russian parliament on Wednesday advanced the proposal to outlaw almost all sex reassignment surgery, as well as gender changes on official documents. Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin citedUS statistics as an argument to proceed quickly and “ban all this fornication.”

Amendments to two laws were endorsed by over 400 of the 450 deputies in the first reading, and are now headed to the regions and government ministries for consultation. Volodin told reporters he hopes to have the final version adopted before the end of the current legislative session, in the spring of 2024.

One of the amendments wouldban medical workers from “medical interventions aimedat changing the sex of a person, including the formation of a person’s primary and (or) secondary sexual characteristics of the other sex.”

Another would block administrative requests for changing the sex on official documents without proof of – soon to be outlawed – surgery. The proposed amendments would allow some surgical procedures, however,in order to remedy “congenital anomalies” in children.

In a floor speech, Volodin said that under existing laws, a Russian could go to a clinic, pay 30-60,000 rubles [$355-$710] for a sex change, get the documents confirming their new name, and then“enter a marriage and – God forbid! – adopt a child.”

“The worst part is the abuse of children,”Volodin told the lawmakers. “In the US, where these new pseudo-values are promoted, the proportion of transgender people among teenagers is already three times higher than among adults.This is the result of propaganda. The number of children receiving hormone therapy has more than doubled in five years. Pumping up children with hormonesbegins at the age of eight. In just five years, between 2017 and 2021, more than 2,000 gender reassignment surgeries were performed on children aged 13 to 17.”

He urged The Ministry of Health not to invent amendments based on concerns for the well-being of people. The correct way to take care of people is to “ban this fornication,” Volodin argued.

The ministry has responded to the proposal with a “very emotional” letter, Deputy Chairman Pyotr Tolstoy told the chamber. He paraphrased the ministry’s argument as saying that the bill would cause “ethical, medical and social problems” to individuals whose documentation will no longer “match the reality that has developed in their heads,” and who may commit suicide as a result.

Deputy Health Minister Oleg Salagay said that transsexuals would continue receiving normal medical care if the amendments passed, noting that a total of 996 people submitted requests to change their sex on their passports in 2022, but “far fewer” had undergone surgical procedures.

Last November, Volodin spearheaded theadoption of a ban on all “LGBTQ, pedophilia and sex-change propaganda” in all advertising, books, movies and media. He argued that the move would “protect our children, the future of the country, from the darkness spread by the US and European states.”

Trump election victory ‘can bring peace’ – Hungary

Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto believes that only Donald Trump can end the conflict in Ukraine

The return of Donald Trump to the White House would herald a “peaceful future,”Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has said. Szijjarto and Prime Minister Viktor Orban both believe that Trump's victory in the 2024 US presidential elections would be key to resolving the conflict in Ukraine.

“If President Trump had wonthe last presidential election here in the US,this war would not have broken out,” Szijjarto told Newsmax, an American conservative broadcaster, on Tuesday.

“During the term of President Trump, there were no Russian attacks against anyone,”Szijjarto explained, adding that Hungary looks “at his possible return to the White House as a hope for a peaceful future.”

While mainstream Republicans have lined up to support US President Joe Biden’s policy of indefinite military aid to Ukraine, Trump and a small number of his supporters in Congress have accused Biden of instigating a global war by continuing to rule out peace talks while progressively heavier weapons keep flowing to Kiev.

Trump maintains that the conflict never would have started if he were president, and that he could “have that war settled in one day” if elected in 2024.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has also claimed that the conflict would not be happening if Trump were still in power. “I’m sure if President Trump were president today there’d be no war afflicting Europe and Ukraine,”Orban said in Budapest last month. “Come back, Mr. President, make America great again and bring us peace.”

Orban has made no secret of his support for Trump. On the eve of Trump’s appearance before a New York court to face campaign finance charges last month, Orban took to Twitter to urge the embattled Republican to“keep on fighting,” adding “we are with you.”Years earlier, theHungarian premier was the first foreign leader to endorse Trump’s successful 2016 campaign, and backed Trump’s re-election bid in 2020.

Szijjarto struck a similar tone on Tuesday. With Trump arraigned in Florida and charged with mishandling classified documents that afternoon, Szijjarto declared thatHungarians were “cross[ing] our fingers for him.”

“Under his leadership we had the best political relationship between the US and Hungary,” he told Newsmax.“He is a true friend, and as a true friend he can count on us in any kind of situation.”

(I love these people, no wonder EU hates them so much.)
