The U.S.-led proxy war against Russia is expanding to the territories of European Union and NATO member states. Remarkably, it appears that the NATO military bloc is at war with itself.

Hungary is condemning Poland for “war psychosis” and supporting state terrorism.

This week, two major oil refinery installations in Hungary and Romania were hit by powerful explosions on the same day, Monday. The first occurred at the Petrotel-Lukoil refinery north of the Romanian capital, Bucharest. Hours later, Hungary’s premier refinery at Százhalombatta, south of the capital, Budapest, was blown up. It has not yet been determined what caused the blasts. But the near-simultaneous timing would make technical accidents extremely unlikely. In other words, the incidents were terrorist sabotage.

The context is highly indicative, too. On the same day, a Rosneft oil refinery in Russia’s Volga Oblast at Novokuibyshevsk was shut down, reportedly after a drone attack.

Thus, the attacks have to be seen as part of the NATO-directed campaign to cripple Russia’s oil industry.

Also, this week, the Trump administration unveiled provocative sanctions against Russian oil and gas companies, Lukoil and Rosneft. The Kiev regime and its European NATO allies have been calling for Trump to slap more sanctions on Russia. Trump has framed the escalatory economic measures as a way to pressure Russia to end the war in Ukraine. However, the reality is that economic warfare is just another weapon to bring about the strategic defeat of Russia under the cynical guise of “peacemaking”.

The European Commission this week tightened its plans to terminate all Russian oil and gas imports into the EU, reversing decades of productive energy trade.

Hungary and Slovakia, and to a lesser extent Romania, have remained at odds with the NATO and EU policy of proxy war against Russia. These countries have come under intense pressure to cut off their imports of Russian oil.

Over recent months, the NATO-directed Kiev regime has stepped up long-range air strikes on Russian energy infrastructure. The Druzhba (Friendship) pipeline was hit during August, which temporarily cut off supplies to Hungary and Slovakia.

The Hungarian and Slovakian governments have openly defied the pressure campaign, insisting that their countries will not stop importing Russian oil, which, they say, is a vital national interest for their economies and societies. The landlocked countries would find it difficult and costly to replace Russian supplies.

What is remarkable about this week’s explosions is that the sabotage campaign is now targeting the territories of European states, not just the Russian infrastructure supplying these states.

What is even more shocking is that the NATO-aligned European powers are backing the attacks on Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia.

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski this week told Hungary that he hoped that the Druzhba pipeline would be taken out entirely “to stop Putin’s war machine.”

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán denounced Poland for its “war psychosis”. At a peace rally in Budapest this week, Orban declared: “Hungary says NO to war! We will not die for Ukraine. We will not send our children to the slaughterhouse at Brussels’ command.”

The blowing up of civilian energy infrastructure in Europe is not unprecedented. What is happening in Hungary and Romania is a repeat of the explosion of the Nord Stream gas pipelines in September 2022, which the U.S. and other NATO agents carried out to cut off Germany from Russian fuel.

This week, Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk celebrated the Nord Stream terrorism as a legitimate strike against Russia “for invading Ukraine.”

To which Hungary’s Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó responded by slamming it as “scandalous”. He added, “According to Poland, if you don’t like an infrastructure in Europe, you can blow it up. With this, they gave advance permission for terrorist attacks in Europe… this is what European rule of law has come to.”

After the August attacks on the Druzhba pipeline, Hungary’s foreign minister accused the European leadership in Brussels of giving the Kiev regime a green light to conduct terror attacks. The absence of condemnation from Brussels of Kiev was extraordinary.

Now the war psychosis has culminated in terror attacks on the actual territory of European states.

There can be no doubt who the culprits are behind the terror campaign. The drones may take off from Ukrainian territory, but the logistics, planning, and targeting require NATO involvement at the highest level, just as the Nord Stream attacks did, and the ongoing deep strikes into Russian territory. The betting odds implicate the CIA, MI6, and their Polish and Baltic surrogates.

Another factor is the offer by Hungary to host a summit between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss ending the proxy war. The summit was called off this week, on Wednesday, apparently by Trump, just as he was announcing tough new sanctions on Russia’s oil industry. But last week, when the meeting was proposed, the NATO powers were miffed at the diplomatic initiative.

Hungary’s Szijjarto wrote: “From the moment the Peace Summit in Budapest was announced, it was obvious that many would do everything possible to stop it from happening. The pro-war political elite and their media always behave this way before events that could prove decisive between war and peace… It will be no different this time. Until the Summit actually takes place, expect a wave of leaks, fake news, and statements claiming that it won’t happen.”

The foreign minister could add to the wave of opposition tactics – “terror attacks” on Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, and anywhere else where people call for peace and an end to war psychosis.

The proxy war that the U.S.-led NATO bloc instigated against Russia, which Trump also pushed during his first term, was always about trying to strategically defeat Russia, including using a military proxy in Ukraine and economic warfare. The logic of this criminal strategy includes blowing up and sacrificing so-called allies, if needs be. German and European economies are in ruins to satisfy the U.S.-led axis and its geopolitical objectives, which European elites are minions of. Nord Stream is taken out, and now oil refineries in Hungary and Romania. What next?

In another sinister development this week, a man was jailed for trying to assassinate Slovakia’s Robert Fico last year. His attacker was pro-Ukraine and targeted Fico for being “pro-Russian.”

The nefarious logic of the U.S. war machine known as NATO, absurdly the self-declared “defender” of the transatlantic Western alliance, is to eat its own when strategic priorities require.

NATO is at war with itself and against peace in Europe. The long and dirty history of Operation Gladio and NATO terrorism in Europe is at hand once again.
