Ukraine is an incredibly important country, in at least three respects: it has excellent agricultural areas, it is rich in energy resources, and otherwise it is corrupt to the core, where it is easy to buy off the political and economic leadership. And the USA does not miss such opportunities.
We Hungarians experienced the regime change as a great opportunity and with joy, I remember well the spontaneous demonstration in Budapest on March 15, 1988, where I was there with my friends, we felt the wind of change in the air. We believed that the world had opened up to us and that we could finally live our lives freely, independently, as a sovereign country, or more precisely as a nation.
In my opinion, the second greatest moment of the Hungarian regime change - after Viktor Orbán's speech on Heroes' Square on June 16, 1989 - was June 19, 1991, when the last Soviet soldier, Lieutenant General Silov, left our country.
This was the great historical moment we have been longing for for decades.
In fact, it was the day of our true liberation from all oppressive powers.
In previous years, I myself have suggested, more than once and not twice, that June 19 deserves to be a national holiday, a national holiday combined with a public holiday, and not just a national day of remembrance, of which there are plenty.
Nothing came of my proposal, even though I think the greatest value and greatest treasure for the Hungarian nation has been national freedom for more than a thousand years, this is what kept the Rákóczi revolution alive, this is what inspired Petőfi and Kossuth, and that is why the guys from Pest fought a heroic struggle in 1956- in. We were not just fighting for another system, but for our independence. In 1956, the revolutionary majority said: let there be free elections, let there be democracy, and let the people decide where to go next.
But let's go beyond that, because this is not the point of what I am saying, but what happened after the regime change in Hungary in 1989-1991.
The following: despite all the wonderful political transformations – multi-party system, rule of law, democracy, human and civil rights – the fact is that the Hungarian people have had unpleasant experiences in the economic sense.
One and a half million people lost their jobs, and unfortunately the privatization, mocked as spontaneous, succeeded so well that strategic sectors fell into the hands of foreign, multinational companies, and the national wealth was squandered. This happened in the banking sector as well, György Surányi and his colleagues could tell a lot about it, but economist and former minister Imre Boros has written about it better and more clearly than I can.
This gave rise to a saying in Pest slang, which later became widely accepted: the tanks left Hungary, but the banks came in instead.
Well, after that, let's ask the question: what happened to Ukraine?
More or less the same, only one more twist has happened since then.
Ukraine was immediately attacked by the "West" after its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, foreign companies appeared in the country, among them, of course, banks, Soros, for example, appeared in many economic sectors from the first moment, and throughout the process the current American democratic president, It lasted until Hunter Biden's son's amazing career in Ukraine, see a company called Burisma.
But not only them, but many Western companies immediately realized that Ukraine is an incredibly important country, in at least three respects: it has excellent agricultural areas, it is rich in energy resources, and otherwise it is corrupt to the core, where it is easy to buy off the political and economic leadership. And the USA does not miss such opportunities.
In short, banks have come to Ukraine.
But what now?
The huge business that the West, i.e. the Democrats of the United States, the multi-companies, the dollar billionaires and, last but not least, the global financial elite, Davos or Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum, did in Ukraine was endangered .
Because Russia started a war to protect its own political, geopolitical and economic interests.
So what is the gluttonous West's answer to this?
After the banks, tanks appeared again in Ukraine.
We are not sending these, but the West, because it is crazy and does not consider the consequences.
And we Hungarians would like neither the banks nor the tanks to come to us anymore.
But unfortunately, the madness reminds me of the atmosphere before the First World War.
And this is very bad news.
