Prof. Nikolay Vitanov: The US is drowning in the Middle East, let's think about what we are doing  - 1

The change in Hungary is tactical.

This opinion was expressed to the Bulgarian National Radio by mathematician Prof. Nikolay Vitanov and added:

"Mathematics tells us that those who are happy that Viktor Orban is gone should not be too happy, because the winner Peter Magyar was in Orban's party until 2024 and was his ally, and if we look at what ideas he advocates - there is a change in Hungary, but I will call it a tactical change. ...

Interesting times are coming for Hungary and let's see how far it will deviate from Orban's line. Tactically, some deviation is expected, because the country must receive a lot of money from the EU. Maybe they will give in for this 90 billion euro loan to Ukraine. But yesterday, Magyar said something that was probably not heard here, which is that there will be no pro-Ukrainian government in Budapest."

In the program "12+3", Professor Vitanov also commented on the war in the Middle East, emphasizing that according to mathematical calculations, the US will get bogged down in it.

"Institutions that are very close to American intelligence say that this war marks the beginning of the end of US hegemony in the world. And now we have to think about where we are, what we are doing and what we will do from now on".

According to mathematics, there are two factors that are putting pressure on Donald Trump - the midterm elections in the fall and the 60-day period, after which he must receive a sanction from Congress whether the war can continue:

"The Iranians know this and are scheduling their strategy and tactics according to these deadlines".

According to Prof. Vitanov, after Trump gets bogged down in the war with Iran, the only way he can score something like a victory before the midterm elections is to be successful in Cuba, but "things are not going well there either".
