You read that correctly. Sources from three countries confirm that the Trump Administration has advocated Viktor Orbán for the role of United Nations Secretary-General. The U.S. has encouraged the former Hungarian Prime Minister to enter the race, even bringing him the initial idea. The plan awaits a final decision.

A Trump State Department official concedes that it sounds crazy at first. But Russia and China are believed to be supportive, based on prior conversations with Washington, and the plan would be for Mr. Orbán to be their joint candidate. As officials from the U.S. and a second country told us, when the U.S., Russia and China all want the same thing at the U.N. Security Council, they usually get it.

The State Department official counted eight Security Council votes “comfortably” for Mr. Orbán, and 10 within reach from the 15 council members. Would Britain and France then stand in the majority’s way? Those two are typically cautious in their use of the veto power.

As U.S. officials discussed who they would want to see atop the U.N., Mr. Orbán’s name kept coming up. “Someone like Orbán,” they would say, and Chinese and Russian counterparts would agree. Eventually U.S. officials asked themselves the question: Why not Mr. Orbán?

There are plenty of reasons, such as that he would act as an apologist for Vladimir Putin and other dictators. But Mr. Orbán is “the dream MAGA-conservative candidate,” the U.S. official argued.

That largely has to do with his moves against mass migration, liberal NGOs and Hungary’s left-leaning courts and press. Mr. Orbán often clashed with the European Union, while also milking it for subsidies, and his pro-China alignment somehow never punctured the image of a defender of Western civilization.

President Trump endorsed Mr. Orbán in April’s Hungarian election, and Vice President JD Vance campaigned for him. If he enters the U.N. race they’re expected to back him again, though an announcement has been waiting for after U.S. midterms, according to a third source familiar with the process.

U.S. officials reached out to Mr. Orbán in the first place to gauge his interest in the U.N. role. They found him receptive, albeit with reservations as a nationalist politician, and not looking to run unless he is confident he can win. Mr. Orbán declined to comment.

The rest of the field for Secretary-General, the official from a second country said, is heavy on “secretary”—with international bureaucratic or behind-the-scenes diplomatic experience. Mr. Orbán would be a “general.” The State Department official agreed, adding that Mr. Orbán has the right ideology, knows how to exercise power in the face of hostility, and wouldn’t be intimidated by the Turtle Bay establishment.

The shifting explanations from Musk and the administration sound like Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s on First?” Except the consequences for Ukrainian civilians are deadly.

Musk says he didn’t do it. The administration says it didn’t either. Yet someone in the administration reportedly told Musk to undo it, and Ukraine reports only partial restoration.

Are we supposed to believe Hegseth and the Pentagon don’t know the status of a capability critical to U.S., Ukrainian and allied security?

Whoever is handing Putin the gift of a more vulnerable Ukraine should at least have the guts to put their name on it. Hiding behind denials while innocent people pay the price is cowardice.

Meanwhile, Putin keeps murdering civilians and trying to starve and freeze Ukraine into submission. Americans deserve answers. Ukrainians deserve the means to defend themselves.

In the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, who do you sympathize with more?

SECRETARY RUBIO: There's nothing being deliberately denied to Ukraine. It's simply a balance between our obligations to other partners, and frankly, our own standards and requirements for our own facilities as well. https://t.co/x9NWbIufBa

Trump: I travel with doctors. If people get sick in the audience, they leave them alone. You know what they call them? Collateral damage. If that person right over there, he looks like shit actually. He looks like he's ready to have a heart attack. If he did, my doctors would leave him alone.

Considering how widely unpopular Russia and Putin have become in the U.S. across the board, and how relatively popular Zelensky remains, it’s really electorally puzzling that Trump’s October surprise is a new bond with Russia against Ukraine.

Reporter: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire but both sides say they have not.

Trump: They agree. You know why? Because I said you agree. That’s why. They agreed because I said they agreed. https://t.co/vT4K7aTdla

Я не могу залезть Трампу в башку, так что я спекулирую. Я не оправдываю Трампа, просто пытаюсь разобраться в том, что происходит.
Я уверен, что сама по себе тема дизеля тут практически не играет роли. Трамп Зеленского не любит ещё с 2019 года. Шоу в Белом доме и его постоянные выебоны, с привлечением европейцев, явно Трампа бесят. Он не может позволить хвосту вертеть собакой. Плюс, он подозревает, не без основания,что европейцы поддерживают Зеленского во многом,чтобы насрать ему на голову.
Трамп располагает ещё большей информацией, чем мы о коррупции Зеленского и окружения.
Он считает, что Зеленский не хочет прекращать войну и идти на сделку,чтобы оставаться у власти. Сам Трамп в сделку с Хуйлом верит.

Завывания про агента Краснова и барыгу на фоне закупки европейцами газа на миллиарды, вызывают лёгкое хи хи
И у многих память ещё работает

Среди остального пиздеца, по-моему, выделяется то, что президент США регулярно выдает заявления в стиле breaking news, которые не имеют отношения к реальности. Как это стало нормальным, вообще?

И, например, в данном случае даже непонятно намеренно ли Трамп соврал, или он был confused, или что вообще случилось? Но это тоже ненормально же!

По-моему это уже выходит за пределы clown show. Это явный признак психического заболевания.
