The hipocracy. America violated so many more international laws in the last than the russians. And now they talk about inernational law?😂😂

[@User_me_1509]

let Russia run the world then.

[@eddastrohmayer251]

​​​@@User_me_1509 Nobody has "to run the world", not USA, not Russia ! We are a World of sovereign countries!!!

[@annel1347]

I think Hungary would do better visiting the Whitehouse with their concerns...trump is not president. Maybe Orban just likes to be wined and dined at Mar a Largo or perhaps Trump is hoping to open another golf course in Hungary.

[@panwarszawa]

Orban`s purged from D.C. You think Trump is obvlious to the world. He is not. I assure you that.

[@panwarszawa]

Biden rejects Orbans VISITs... Biden is stimulus to the MILINDSCOMPLEX. He hopes, it stimulates the markets. Just to appease neo-cons never-trumpers republicans, neo-liberals to galvanize voters to go boot into voting for Dems.

[@ZsH85]

but what can you do when the one who would guest you is someone who conferms zelensky as "putin the Ukraine president" ???

[@eddastrohmayer251]

Biden rejects to talk with everyone who has the word peace in his mouth.

[@NotANameist]

Wtf is Margaret’s logic here? You’re not allowed to criticize an ally’s government if they’re liberal because criticizing an ally’s government is ALWAYS wrong… except you should definitely do it if the ally’s government is conservative. Does she even listen to herself?

[@josemanueljara522]

Very good and explicit arguments by the Hungarian prime minister in face of a journalist very apologetic of the USA politics of meddling and dominating by for ce or by other means the other countries

[@JPeck-kr8km]

hungarian govt. position seems rational. he's right, but i would have pressed him more re journalists and the media trump might be crazy but biden is a cold war warrior... he could have negotiated better with putin instead of having this dreadful war and sacrificing so many ukrainians

[@ZsH85]

he made many interviews Die Welt Rogger Köppel is the best

[@eddastrohmayer251]

True!

[@DSandy111]

12:25 so Brennan is criticizing Hungary for having “ties” with Iran? Communication is more like it. Does Switzerland have communication channels with Iran? Her implications are bizarre.

[@brentwickwire98]

Yes sir, but what does your “peace mission” have to do w trump?

[@ZsH85]

think again and maybe you realise.

[@Guyright]

4 years no war that's why.

@@ZsH85 realize what, that you can’t spell and would rather a king then a president?

[@ZsH85]

@@brentwickwire98 look its simple. He already met with biden on the conferrence and biden is the man who introduced zelensky as putin… trump going to win in nov and theyre in a very good relation anyways! Its not the first time they invited orban as guest!

[@eddastrohmayer251]

Is it forbidden to talk with a candidate for US Presidency ? You have a strange question ...

[@basiladnan1557]

Very nice prime minister.. All he wants is love and peace. All what Ukraine has to do under his peace plan is to capitulate, and give the rest of the Donbas to Russia without a fight.

[@lulkLogan]

And get Russian crude flowing across the border again.

[@ZsH85]

first just stop all of this before ww3 brake out. maybe russia needs to keep those land for some years and give them back only after NATO is out for good. thats one of my idea for peace.

[@basiladnan1557]

@@ZsH85 Yes Sir. Pls check your spelling, and check data which shows that the Gross National Product of Russia (which will defeat Nato) is smaller than that of Spain, and that Finland today decided to expell the Russian refugees who ran away from Russia to Finland recently.

[@ZsH85]

@@basiladnan1557 not sure what you trying to say, but either way this war is already bloody enough. Its bad for all europe so it has to stop soon somehow! i get they will hate eachother for 100 more years after this but at least they still be alive....and we also !

[@bobcharles7716]

Russia using military force to invading another country to change the government of that country to suite its needs is wrong. Is it also wrong for NATO to use other means other then military force to change Ukraine to suite its needs?? This is the fundamental question! If NATO is also wrong then Russia's action is partially justified and NATO is partially to blamed. NATO then is not a savior of Ukraine but a co-combatant.

[@susangriffin6491]

Margaret is being aggressive and not very polite. This man is a guest in our country. He is talking about peace and she is an embarrassment to the USA.

[@lacko223]

She is clearly in a difficult position talking to a person, who has the level of English of a toddler...

[@davideverett5214]

He's not a guest he's a politician with an agenda! This is Not "Faux News"! Margaret actually question the guests!

[@mariusgologan]

He's lying. Orban is playing with fire at the cost of others.

lol. a bit paranoid are we?

[@eddastrohmayer251]

Playing with fire? Someone who makes exploratory talks towards peace.

[@mariahenrich9602]

So glad he cleared up the mis and dis information shoveled weekly on this show.

[@virginiahess8959]

This is the longest running high value Political Show on TV. FACT.

[@eddastrohmayer251]

​​ I don't know it. See it the first time and mentioned that the journalist was uninformed and contradicts herself. And from an Eurooean point of view politics US too serious to be a "show" !

[@cheersmodreams691]

Herr Orban brothers? Cousins? Sisters (lol)? Yeah, Viktor and Zelensky are friends as Orban has threatened to block Ukraine's entry into Nato and the EU. Zelensky has repudiated Orban's peace mission, saying only strong alliances can sit at a peace initiative negotiating table. I'm a big fan of Ms. Brennan but in this interview, she did not have a sufficient depth of facts to effectively parry the Foreign Minister's banter. Also, she never mentioned Zelensky's take on the Orban 'peace' meeting.

[@eddastrohmayer251]

Z yesterday said Russia should take part in next Peace conference. Brave Warriors on the sofa, allow Z to be rational ...
