Tucker Carlson has landed a new interview coup. This time, the US journalist spoke with Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
The Saturday-published and YouTube-released, German-subtitled, one-hour interview is a must-see: In the in-depth conversation, Orbán provides a striking, astonishingly insightful and finely nuanced explanation of the current European-Russian conflict’s origins and causes. Whoever doesn’t understand it afterwards won’t be helped anyway.
The interview went quite in-depth on the future of European economy and also on Germany.
The conversation touched on the destruction of the Nord Stream gas pipelines and Orbán’s response made Tucker Carlson laugh.
Carlson asked (at minute 17:40):
“The Biden Administration has forced a ‘green New Deal’ with explosives on Germany, with the destruction of Nord Stream. I don’t understand it on several levels. The largest NATO member is committing an act of industrial terrorism against the second-largest NATO member. Now, honestly: How does the NATO still exist? And why doesn’t anyone say anything about it?”
The Hungarian’s response:
“You know, Hungary is a small country. Ten million inhabitants. Elephants play in a different league. If this had happened to Hungary, we would have made a lot of noise, no question. But you know: This is Germany.”
Tucker and the audience had to laugh. It is bitter, but true: At the latest in autumn 2022, Germany had become the laughing stock of the whole world and the footstool for Ukrainian officials.
