Donald Trump intends to end the Ukraine conflict, if reelected as US president, and has a “detailed plan” to do so, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban told local media, after meeting the presumed Republican nominee.
The former US leader repeatedly claimed on his campaign trail that, if he had remained in the White House for a second term, there would be no hostilities between Moscow and Kiev. If voted back in, he promises to end the conflict “in 24 hours” by applying pressure on stakeholders.
Orban, who spoke with Trump at the Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Friday, did not explain how exactly the American would do that, but said that cutting the flow of US aid was a crucial part of the plan.
”If the US will not provide the money, Europeans on their own will not be able to finance this war, and then the war will end,” Orban said in an interview with M1 broadcaster on Sunday.
During his presidency, Trump had shown himself to be “a man of peace,” the Hungarian leader claimed. That stance puts him in alignment with Hungary, unlike the administration of US President Joe Biden and many members of the EU, he added.
”The American Democratic government and the leadership of the EU, as well as the leadership of the largest EU member states are pro-war governments. Donald Trump is pro-peace, Hungary is pro-peace. At the bottom of everything lies this difference,” Orban declared.
The Kremlin declined to weigh in on the remarks, with spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying on Monday that Orban’s account of Trump’s intentions was too vague for any specific commentary.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky previously expressed skepticism about Trump’s ability to deliver on the promise. He said if the plan was feasible, the American politician should share it with the public, or at least with Kiev. The Ukrainian government claims that a “just peace” requires a military victory over Russia and that it would agree to nothing short of that.
The Most Revolutionary Act 
The war would definitely end if the US stopped throwing money at that debacle and everyone whose brain cells are connected are very much well aware of this. As soon as bombs, drones, missiles, tanks, ammunition and other assorted weapons of war dry up, picking up rocks and using them in slingshots is not going to cut the mustard.

The US has always managed to find funds for war, they have a $trillion dollar budget that isn’t needed for anything else like schools, welfare, healthcare, infrastructure, most of which are unavailable to millions of Americans or just plain out of date.
It’s the same in the UK. We sent £24 billion to Ukraine in 2022 and again in 2023 and just like the US England is becoming the arse end of nowhere.
That’s what you get when you have elitist, entitled, thieving money grubbers running the country.

I don’t believe the continual wars are going to end, Shelby, until the US dollar crashes. I believe they’re a deliberate distraction from how fast the US economy is tanking. I sense the end is pretty close now.

The only reason, as far as I can tell, the dollar didn’t crash in 2022/23 was because of the CovID scam which allowed the US to print internal money and the US tricking the twerps in Europe into buying Russian oil, sold to India, who sold it to refinery factory ships who sold it to the US who are selling it to the twerps at profit. The US are still stealing Iranian tanker oil, Syrian oil and anything that ain’t nailed down. With $31 trillion in debt they are extremely dispensable no matter how they try to hide their Achille’s heel. America is sinking under the weight of it’s debt and is flailing about hoping to start another very profitable war, somewhere, anywhere, just so they can flog their inferior military hardware at inflated prices.

I suspect you may be right, Mohandeer. I believe Ellen Brown was the first to announce the collapse of the REPO (bond repurchase) market in 2019. Some economists have speculated that Covid and the lockdowns were rolled out to stifle the panic that should have resulted from that event. The lockdowns effectively shrank the economy but shutting down small businesses – an event they maintain would have occurred naturally had the REPO crisis been allowed to unravel.
