’- Hungarian PM Orban Stands With Who Cares What Brussels Wants- We Are Going To Defend Our Borders And That Is FinalPoland, Slovakia, And Czech Republic And Tells EU To Back Off Walid Shoebat — December 21, 2016
In a fiery speech recently, Hungarian PM Viktor Orban laid down the law, saying that Hungary and the rest of the “Visegrad 4” (V4)- Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic- will do what is in the best interests of their people, regardless of what Eurocrats tell them:
The speech is 16 minutes long, and there is a lot in here to unpack:
First, while President Orban’s spirit has not failed, there is a definite physical toll this whole “crisis” is taking on him. You can see it in his physical constitution and hear it in his voice- while composing himself, the signs of exhaustion and stress are gradually showing through. We report on what we are able to see and deduce through careful reasoning. One can only imagine what is happening that nobody sees or knows, except for men like him who are in a position to know, and it must be incredibly stressful to maintain such a strong position when surrounded by so many who want to destroy him.
Second, he references a joint statement from the Visegrad Group around 0:20. You can read the whole document here, and the summary is basically an agreement from Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic saying that, while they ‘respect’ the EU position, they will do what they want to protect themselves from Turkey, and if the EU doesn’t like it, tough luck.
Zitatthe key strategic objective now is to preserve Schengen, which can only be achieved by regaining control over the European Union’s external borders.
How I wish some of the politicians in America would take a similar attitude. In this regard, Trump may be our last hope.
It is interesting to note most of the signatories to this agreement have historical relations with Turkey and Islam, having been conquered and occupied by the Turks starting in the 14th century. They know what they are dealing with.

I had forgotten about the expansion of Islam eastward.
