Putin-Orbán friendship: British generals shared Hungary’s disgraceful role after a Russian attack against NATO

A British tabloid wrote about how some former British army chiefs imagined WW3 would start until next summer, provided Ukraine did not get the needed help from the West. In their scenario, Hungary has a disgraceful role. The British generals believed Budapest would be the first nail in NATO’s coffin.

Summer Russian offensives can lead to WW3

The Sun asked General Sir Richard Shirreff and General Richard Barrons, ex-leaders of the country’s armed forces, how they believed WW3 would escalate if Ukraine did not get enough help from the West. The generals believe the first step would be the fall of the Donbas region in Eastern Ukraine following a devastating Russian strike.

Afterwards, Putin would become bolder and would continue their attacks not only in Ukraine but also in the Baltic region, the Caucasus and Moldova. And that is when NATO comes into question. All the Baltic states are NATO members, so an attack against Estonia or Lithuania (they do not calculate with Latvia) would mean an attack against all member states, including the United States of America.

Hungary would have a disgraceful role

However, Putin would be able to break the alliance’s unity with the help of three Central European countries, the British generals said. That is because Hungary, Austria and Slovakia would conclude deals with Putin.

Afterwards, Macron would deploy French troops in Kyiv. Moscow would answer with tactical nukes, which would lead to WW3. The article does not discuss why Hungary would negotiate with the Russians after decades of Soviet occupation (which is a bad memory here). Moreover, they do not answer the question of what consequences a tactical nuclear weapon explosion in Kyiv would mean for Hungary, being not far from the Ukrainian capital.

UK afraid of not garnering enough support for Ukraine?

Anyway, the scenario is just a fantasy right now and shows that the United Kingdom is afraid of not garnering enough support for Ukraine to evade the coming Russian offensives.

For example, Donald Trump does not seem too committed to maintaining the current level of weapons and ammunition deliveries to Ukraine. But that may change after his possible victory in November. The Hungarian government regularly highlights that peace is unimaginable without Trump, but that does not mean Trump’s victory would result in immediate ceasefire and peace talks.
