The Age of Overt Political Warfare
The article discusses how great powers, including the US and Russia, are now openly interfering in other countries' elections, unlike their previous clandestine methods. This shift is evident in the recent Hungarian parliamentary vote, where both governments openly supported Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
Great powers have shifted from secretly meddling in other countries' elections to openly doing so. The US and Russia both supported Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán during the recent parliamentary vote. The White House used tactics like supportive visits from high-ranking officials and public endorsements from Donald Trump to back Orbán. Russia also made its support public, promising Hungary preferential access to Russian gas supplies and releasing Hungarian prisoners of war. This overt interference is a departure from the clandestine methods used during the Cold War. The US and Russia's actions in Hungary demonstrate a new era of brazen cross-border campaigning.
