Russia in danger! Europe, suddenly changing the weather!


Here, the US-Iran war is complex and confusing, and the Battle for the Strait of Hormuz continues to intensify; over there, shocking news suddenly comes from Europe—overnight, the entire continent's wind direction has completely changed!
On April 12th, local time, Hungary delivered breaking news: as one of Russia’s few close allies in Europe, Hungary’s Prime Minister Orban, who has been in power for 16 years, officially admits defeat!
With pro-Ukraine forces successfully taking power, this also means that Europe has entered a “change of the guard” moment, and there are no longer any voices daring to confront the EU or support Russia strongly!
You should know, throughout European politics, Orban is definitely a rare sober politician—he has never been manipulated or controlled by EU President von der Leyen, always sticking to his own stance, insisting on maintaining close energy trade with Russia.
When many European countries follow suit and abandon Russia’s low-cost energy, turning to buy high-priced American energy, forcing their citizens to bear high energy costs, Orban resisted enormous EU pressure, disregarding opposition from all sides, and continued to deepen energy cooperation with Russia, allowing Hungarian citizens to enjoy cheap Russian oil and gas for the long term, without worries about heating or electricity, truly benefiting people’s livelihoods.
At the same time, Orban has been very clear in opposing using the taxpayers’ hard-earned money from EU countries to fill Ukraine’s bottomless pit.
Previously, when the EU planned to allocate 90 billion euros to Ukraine, Orban repeatedly stood up and directly vetoed the proposal.
Because of this, in Europe, the pro-Russian and pro-Ukraine sentiment has become the political correct backdrop and a trend, and Orban has almost become a “maverick,” even a thorn in the side of von der Leyen and other pro-Ukraine figures.
Some pro-Ukraine officials have openly threatened to expel Hungary from the EU, to completely remove this “stumbling block.”
While some Hungarian citizens enjoy the low-cost energy brought by Orban, they also criticize him as an accomplice and collaborator of Russian President Putin, which makes Orban feel heartbroken.
Now, with Orban’s defeat, it means that no country within the EU dares to firmly oppose aid to Ukraine, and no country dares to withstand pressure and continue energy trade with Russia.
This outcome directly rewrites Europe’s geopolitical landscape—likely, the EU will add more economic aid to Ukraine, and may even provide military support, while Russia will face dual pressure from the EU and Ukraine.
As soon as the news broke, the most excited was Ukrainian President Zelensky, who immediately posted to celebrate this “victory.”
In his view, once Orban, the biggest “stumbling block,” is kicked out, no one can stop the EU from pouring funds into Ukraine, and the EU can finally act as the “big spender,” continuously pumping aid into Ukraine.
But ironically, as Middle Eastern tensions continue to escalate, global energy prices have soared rapidly.
Now, even if the EU wants to turn back and buy energy from Russia, Russia will no longer easily supply it—after all, Orban’s defeat is equivalent to the EU closing the door on easing relations with Russia.
It’s worth noting that Orban is not only a close friend of Russian President Putin but also highly aligned with Trump’s stance of “staying away from Ukraine and opposing unconditional aid to Ukraine,” making him a “sweetheart” for Trump.
To help Orban win the election, Trump even sent Vice President Pence to Hungary to campaign and rally support.
But even with support from the two major powers, the US and Russia, Orban ultimately failed to win the election, and this Hungarian election also indirectly “offended” both the US and Russia.
Honestly, Orban’s focus on energy issues—insisting on dealing with Russia to provide low-cost, stable energy for the people, and clearly refusing to tie his country’s fate to Ukraine’s war—upholding the principle of prioritizing national interests, is truly a rare clarity.
But under von der Leyen’s leadership, Europe has already become irrational: they prefer to make their own citizens tighten their belts, endure cold and hunger, and even self-destructively abandon Russia’s low-cost energy, all in a futile effort to support Ukraine.
This costly “internal consumption” will ultimately only lead Europe into economic collapse.
Even more absurd is that the US has quietly given up and completely abandoned Ukraine as a “hot potato,” while the EU has become Ukraine’s biggest scapegoat, dragging many European countries down with it.
Especially after the Middle East war broke out, with Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz, global oil prices surged again, adding cold water to Europe’s already deepening energy crisis, pushing the continent into unprecedented energy pressure.
At this moment, the only rational voice within the EU—Orban—has fallen from power.
This also means that Europe will be deeply tied to Ukraine, becoming a “core force” against Russia, walking step by step into an even more dangerous abyss.
Now, many Hungarian citizens have taken to the streets, celebrating the pro-Ukraine victory, but they have no idea that their own choices will soon come at a painful cost.
It should be remembered that it was precisely because Orban insisted on maintaining friendly relations with Russia that Russia continued to supply Hungary with energy at prices far below those of the US and other Western countries.
Once the new Hungarian government implements anti-Russian policies and cuts off energy cooperation with Russia, the Hungarian people will no longer enjoy the benefits of Russia’s low-cost energy.
Soon, the Hungarian people will personally experience soaring energy prices and skyrocketing living costs, and they will have to swallow this bitter fruit themselves.
Is this “change of the guard” in Europe a new beginning or a disaster? The answer will be revealed very soon!
