Orban: South Stream Attack Would Be 'Reason for War'

Hungarian PM Viktor Orban told interviewer Tucker Carlson that, while Germany did very little to address the cause of the Nord Stream pipeline attack, his nation would not tolerate such an attack on its gas pipelines. “Budapest has made it clear right away that there is another pipeline – not Nord Stream, but South Stream, through which gas is supplied from Russia along the southern corridor to Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Hungary. Together with the Prime Minister of Serbia, we emphasized that if anyone wants to do the same thing with the southern corridor as was done with the northern one, we will consider it a reason for war, a terrorist attack, and we will respond immediately,” he told the former Fox News host.
