Trump has urged Hungarians to vote for Orbán in the upcoming elections.

Trump wrote that Orbán is a “true friend, fighter, and winner” who has his “full and absolute support” and “will never let his people down.” He also promised to stand with Orbán “to the end.”

There is a saying: “Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are.”

Trump has aligned himself with everything vile in this world. He invited a war criminal, Putin, to America, rolled out a red carpet for him, and even hung his photo in the White House. Yes, the same Putin who is committing genocide against the Ukrainian people.

Recently, Trump invited another war criminal, Lukashenko, to Mar-a-Lago to discuss a “big deal.” He added, “We have a good relationship, and the leader is somebody that I have a lot of respect for.”

And now Trump is doing the same for Orbán — a man who has consistently undermined Ukraine’s sovereignty, aligned himself with russia, blocked EU aid to Ukraine, and even stolen Ukrainian assets.

It sickens me to see that there are still people in America who support this morally bankrupt president.

There is no neutrality in the face of evil.

The russian war and genocide against Ukrainians have changed me. russians have killed three of my friends. They have beheaded, tortured, raped, and castrated thousands of my countrymen. They have destroyed the livelihoods of millions.

I used to be much more tolerant and accepting of different points of view. But now my vision is more black and white. The war has become personal. The pain has become personal.

When your family and friends are bombed every night for four years and your country is invaded, it becomes personal. I think every one of us has lost someone, either on the battlefield or when rockets or Iranian drones struck civilian infrastructure.

Every day and night, there are explosions in the sky. You start your day reading reports about people hospitalized or killed because russian rockets destroyed civilian buildings. And one of those buildings could be where your loved ones or friends live.

So when I meet someone who claims to be neutral regarding the russian war and genocide against the Ukrainian people, I hold them morally responsible for the atrocities committed by russians. There can be no neutrality in the face of evil.

If you choose to remain neutral and silent, that is your choice. But that choice defines who you are. You are a coward, a silent supporter, and history will judge you as such.

To conclude, I want to quote a few people who understood well that there is no neutrality in the face of evil:

Dietrich Bonhoeffer: “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil; God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”

Elie Wiesel: “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”

Dante Alighieri (paraphrased): “The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.”

Russians are leveling entire cities in Ukraine. This is the only “peace” they seek.
