Thank you for posting this. Watching what is happening to the Ukraine makes me angry and sad. This would NOT be happening if Trump was the current president. Biden is weak, ineffectual, incompetent and corrupt. The top people in his administration were chosen to tick off boxes for racial, ethnic and progressive agendas, not for their ability, knowledge or competence and tragically it shows.

When America is strong the world is a safer place. Tyrants and despots think twice about adventuring and moving on their neighbors.

Biden did not win by a fair election. There are some who still deny that but truth will out. We can thank the media, Big Tech, and the Deep State for the disaster they have inflicted on the USA and the chaos and destruction they have inflicted on the world.

Character and competence matter. We see it being played out now in real time.

President Trump may have some rough edges but he knows who he is, he is beholden to no one and no country and he loves the USA. He is incorruptible and everyone knows it. He is the most investigated person in world history. I would like to see Biden undergo a similar scrutiny.

Beautiful country. Another great article even though sad to read the impotency brought on by Biden to our country and the current perception of our nation. Every cabinet member under this administration is an activist, not a patriot, and their decay is spreading.

Peter, Thank you for heartaching words describing perception of what's happening in/to US lately through Hungarian eyes. Unfortunately, this is not just perception but sad reality

yes, I think your last couple of paragraphs reveal the need to look again at the rest of the article's thoughts. They might need work.

" . . . they do not think the Hungarian people can lean on the United States." I wish they didn't lean on us but could.

Hungary has been and still is violating EU law on refugees. Viktor Orbán is censoring the media so freedom of press is a serious problem there. I know you know, Peter. I just hope you didn't disrespect your audience assuming they don't know. Specially Hungarians who don't like their government the way you don't like yours. You are not in trouble in the USA because nobody like Orbán rules there. I wish your Hungarian "friends" the same luck that you have.

You are an idiot

Hungary should be thankful of being part of NATO instead of whining about the US being imperfect. What did Eisenhower do in 1956 when the USSR crushed Hungary? Where were Johnson and Nixon when the "Warsaw Pact" invaded Czechoslovakia in '68? How is this moment worse except that people on the so called "right" now admire Putin?

You can ask: "how can I help?"

Encouragement. Support for refugees.Support for Ukrainians- medical, other. Support for countries making sacrifices to help them. Calling on your representatives and our president to do the same.

Your description of US speaks volumes. As a citizen, I am embarrassed by all these woke politicians bowing to the trans illusion as if gender and sex is interchangeable only by how they identify. Complete load of bs. The politicians who have made it a career and DC as home, not their state they supposedly represent, sicken me with their greed and love of power at the expense of our once proud country.

I am a 54 year old American and I can say without hesitation that as a 29 year old, you have wisdom beyond your years. I noticed that you haven’t published anything yet on your Substack. Do you write elsewhere? If so, will you reply with a link? If you have not published yet, I want to encourage you to at least put your thoughts down on your Substack. Your inner light is bright. Do not keep it under a basket, protected. Put it on a hill and let it shine for all to see.

I appreciate your kind words. No, I haven't published anything yet. I am thinking about it however, and if I publish something, it will be on my Substack. I will publish my writings if I find something worthwhile to write about, and write well about to put into the world.

Your words, however, are encouraging. I will start publishing sometime in the near future, for the heck of it, just to contribute to the noise.
