Sir Richard Knighton, the British Chief of the Defence Staff, says that the nation’s “sons and daughters” must be ready to fight (…) and that more families will come to understand what sacrifice means.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte says: “A war is coming like the one our grandfathers and great-grandfathers lived through.”
French Chief of the Defence Staff Fabien Mandon says: “We must accept the loss of our children.”
Polish left-wing Prime Minister Donald Tusk says: “This is our war.”
No. No. And no.
We will not give either our lives or our money for Ukraine.
Europe is burning with war fever, dragging along even countries larger than ours. We can stay out of this madness only if we have a strong, anti-war, experienced prime minister and a national government. That is why Fidesz and Viktor Orbán are the safe choice.
And I read with shock the news built around the words of the British Chief of the Defence Staff, the French Chief of the Defence Staff, or the NATO Secretary General — all of them saying that we must accept that this war will have human losses, that wars like this were last seen by our great-grandfathers and great-great-grandfathers, and that everyone must make sacrifices.
So I simply do not understand whether these people truly have no idea what they are playing with, or whether they are this heartless, or this greedy for money — because there are always major economic interests involved in war as well. A lot of money goes into a war like this. And somewhere, someone profits from it.
🎯 Core Function (Real Purpose)
The purpose of this statement is not a factual interpretation of the war in Ukraine, but rather:
- existential fear-mongering (“the loss of our children”),
- construction of an external enemy image (“Europe is burning with war fever”),
- moral exclusion (“whoever is not with us is pro-war”),
- justification of exclusive leadership (“only Orbán can protect us”).
👉 The conclusion is not reached at the end, but decided in the very first paragraph:
Fidesz = life, peace / Others = death, war.
1️⃣ Invoking Authority → Emotional Shock
The list appears “factual,” but in reality it forms an authoritarian chain of argumentation:
- Sir Richard Knighton
- Mark Rutte
- Fabien Mandon
- Donald Tusk
🔹 Technique: authority stacking
🔹 Trick:
– quotes taken out of context
– no clarity on who they apply to or under which scenario
– “war” is presented as an inevitable natural disaster
👉 Effect: the audience does not deliberate; it panics.
2️⃣ “The Loss of Our Children” – A Moral Nuclear Weapon
“we must accept the loss of our children”
🔹 Technique: moral shock
🔹 Effect:
– rational debate becomes impossible
– anyone who disagrees is labeled “pro-child-death”
👉 This is the most powerful propaganda tool:
it cannot be answered without appearing inhuman.
3️⃣ “This Is Not Our War” – False Dilemma
“We will not give either our lives or our money for Ukraine!”
🔹 Technique: false dilemma
🔹 Fabricated choice:
A) total war, child sacrifice
B) Fidesz, Orbán, peace
❌ All intermediate options disappear:
- diplomacy
- nuanced alliance obligations
- European security policy
- the question of Russian responsibility
👉 Reality is reduced to: Orbán or death.
4️⃣ “Someone Always Profits” – Conspiracy Framing
“there is always someone who profits from war”
🔹 Technique: insinuation without evidence
🔹 Effect:
– all policy arguments appear corrupt by default
– the “pro-war” side is framed as morally depraved
👉 This absolves the speaker’s own side from addressing any substantive questions.
5️⃣ Cult-of-Leader Closure
“That is why Fidesz and Viktor Orbán are the safe choice!”
🔹 Technique: authoritarian closure
🔹 Operation:
– no weighing of options
– no debate
– the decision becomes a moral obligation
Politics here is no longer a choice, but a loyalty oath:
- Viktor Orbán
- Fidesz
🧠 Summary – What Is Actually Happening?
This text is:
- not pro-peace,
- not war analysis,
- not geopolitics,
but fear-based loyalty manufacturing.
👉 Its simplified message:
“If you don’t vote for us, your children will die.”
This is not argumentation.
This is psychological coercion.
