“Ajoke told often in Budapest says that World War III will be lost by whichever side Hungary is on. Balazs Orban, the political director for Prime Minister Viktor Orban (the two are not related), notes in his new book, Hussar Cut, that the political compromise of 1867 that incorporated Hungary into the Austrian Empire ‘involved the voluntary surrender of our independent foreign policy, so we had no say on whether or not to participate in the first great global military conflagration of the twentieth century.’ Hungary had little choice in the Second World War, either: in 1944 it fell under German occupation, followed by Soviet occupation. Hungary’s national revival is one of the most noteworthy events in the West since the fall of Communism.” (04/17/24)
