the military power of Europe also began to weaken, because the war reduced the stocks of the European armies, but they did not take care of their replacement.

Hungary's independence must be defended, which means defending the pro-peace position against the Biden administration and Brussels.

As the third point, the article referred to the need to strengthen Hungary's military power, "because peace requires strength."
