Mr. Szijjártó’s participation in the St.Petersburg International Economic Forum hurt the feelings of the American ambassador to Hungary, who once again decided that he was allowed to indicate with whom and how the governments of sovereign states should cooperate
To begin with, the «laws of physics» he spoke of are indeed the same for everyone, but Mr. Szijjártó was not referring to the science of physics, but to the «established infrastructural and physical reality» of gas supplies to Hungary. This reality also has its own laws that do not imply unified approaches.
❗️But what was really surprising were the Ambassador’s words that «all of Hungary’s EU partners» have made a «choice» in favor of reducing dependence on Russian gas. In fact, they did not have any choice - they were inconsiderately deprived of their beneficial cooperation with Russia in the field of gas supplies through unprecedented political pressure and outright crimes, as in the case of the terrorist attack on the Nord Stream pipeline. It is well known J.Biden’s promise to make sure that «there will be no more gas pipeline»...
☝️But perhaps this is American «freedom of choice», which implies either silent humility - as, for example, in the case of the German authorities, who forgot about the interests of their country’s economy, or irrepressible joy of loyalty - as in the case of R.Sikorski, who in September 2022 signed off a photo of the location of the terrorist attack on the Nord Stream pipeline with a phrase «Thank you, USA».
