Tucker Carlson released his latest episode of Tucker on X Tuesday night with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Orbán offered a candid perspective on the geopolitical tensions surrounding Ukraine, Russia, and the role of the United States. Orban, who has been dealing with Russia throughout his life and political career, criticized the prevailing American narrative that Ukraine is winning the war against Russia. He called this a “lie,” emphasizing that the Ukrainians are tragically losing lives every day and will eventually run out of soldiers before the Russians do. Orbán also questioned the Biden administration’s strategy, suggesting that the U.S. misunderstands Russia and that its goal of regime change is not only unrealistic but dangerously naive.

Orbán’s comments also touched on the broader implications for NATO and the West. He warned against any Western intervention that would put “boots on the ground,” stating that such a move would immediately escalate into a Third World War. The Hungarian Prime Minister expressed concern about the U.S.’s approach, particularly its talk of Ukraine joining NATO, which he sees as a closed window of opportunity that could now provoke a nuclear conflict. Orbán emphasized that the key to peace lies in the hands of the United States.
