  1. Team? You Finns werent in NATO 4 years ago, and you already giving us commands?

  2. There is a clear difference between not liking Russians or Ukrainians, or giving up billions upon billions of your stuff, to support a guy, who you dont like.
    26
  3. We still dont buy ideologies on pipelines only natural gas.
    22
  4. In Orbans party you do what the leader tells you to do, otherwise he will destroy your career.
    16
  5. The guys who fanasized about Russia breaking up into 15 countries?
    15
  6.  @Berndr  Dont we pay for it?
    13
  7. All hail to Ireland!

  8.  @Ember-vee  Solar and wind are actually extremely dependent on gas, you need gas turbines, to compensate grid waving in a minute's notice, if the wind is not blowing. We can only do it wiht Bryghton cyle turbines, Rankine cycle turbines doesnt power up and down as fast, so nuclear or coal is not an option as backup.
    12
  9. What would you consider a good deal?
    12
  10. Lol those western values, what JD Vance was talking about in Munich?
    11
  11. It doesnt make you a rightwinger, if you dont want to fund a war. It is debatable, but valid left wing policy, actually the most valid left wing policy.
    9
  12. Stalling? I wouldnt call it stalling, that Sweden isnt in after a year of signing its application. For the sake of interest, how many years Estonia waited to be an actual NATO member?
    9
  13.  @eurko111  Thats highly unlikely to happen.

  14. There were two of them, the one in 2012, when he made the rightwing constitution, that was also 100.000+ and the one, which was organized againt the blocking of the internet. Thatswhy Im sceptical if thisone will lead to anywhere.

  15. By what regards should a country in a defensive alliance should be obliged to send troops outside of NATO? And by what regard you declare unity on a topic which is not supported by 3 memeberstates?
    7
  16. Theres Kaliningrad to the north.
    6
  17. Really? Can you show me the common Europe-Chinese border?
    6
  18. USA did blew up your pipeline. Dont you intend to do something about it? Not exiting NATO is preferable, but they have to know where their place is. They cant do such things in another sovereign country.

  19. EU has to cut back on solar power because it actually makes the whole grid unreliable, with constant power spikes and surges. They are overproducing during summer and underperfoming during winter. Meanwhile you have 90% of the costs just to maintain the bckup powerplants so it can balance out the grid in case of emergency.

  20. ​ @huckleberryfinn6578  Maybe, but on the other hand for how long can Ukraine keep the resistance up?

  21. They are more or less already in. We can formalise it in a week if they wish so.

  22.  @nameTBA  We are talking about a country, where Krupp, IG Farben, and Porsche were the favored richkids running around the block. It wasnt collectivist. At all.

  23.  @McGruberHappyMeal  Well, we don't like Johnson in Europe, but we don't intend to declare war on him and call him a dictator.
    4
  24. Lol Belgians are practical people. They just have to turn their flags 90 degrees, and problem solved.

  25. It existed, because every nation wants his military to be at home, not in the Baltics.

  26. They are already one of the biggest aluminium producers in Europe.

  27.  @ruzicas.5819  Its not the west's fault, that Ukraine dont have 1000 fighter pilots, tho fly 1000 F-16's.

  28. Lol, we dont have your Romanian versatility, to switch sides 5 times during any given wars.

  29. He should decide pretty soon on which policy he will commence. Morale is pretty low in the AFU, understandably so. Noone wants to be the last casualty of the war. So either give them the weapons to fight or strike a deal, or the frontline will collapse and there will be nothing to bargain about.
    3
  30. Lol its so cute that you think Musk wants to spend money on your roads schools or healthcare. He owns you americans, you have the right to pay for his visions and concepts.
    3
  31. What do you mean by going against the organization? These are two members of the organization, you cant even say, that its a private oppinion. Majority supports them, so what, majority supported the Croat joining, and it took them 10 years to join, because one or two countries thought its too early. And by what means the Swedes or the Finns have a shortcut to NATO, what no other country ever had? Because they are civilised westerners not eastern european rubbish or what?
    3
  32. As far as I remeber last time when you tried you got a bloody nose, and you could finally pull it off when you asked help from Moscow... then the Austrian troops felt offended when Hungarians surrendered to the Russians, and treated Austrians as buffoons...
    3
  33. So lets see point by point where you are distorting the actual truth, or outright lying. 1. Hungary made it clear, that it wont support Ukraine's bid of accession since Ukraine adopted its minority laws back in 2017, well before any EU funds were blocked, so theres actually nothing new regarding to Orban's position. 2. Undue political interference of foreign parties is implemented, because the united opposition leader openly bragged in state television, how did he made an NGO to accept foreign money for his election campaign, which would be illegal even according to the oldest hungarian constitution, if it would be a party, so that was a greyzone transaction, which is now pushed to the clear blackzone. Thats not even overempahisizing something, Mr Zay literally told that. 3. Literally all of the EU leaders and Boris Johnson travelled to and shook hands with Putin since february 2022. 4. Theres no such thing that the "EU applying an unerected law not against one but three of its memberstates, namely Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary, because EU is not your british king, who could order your properties confiscated if he has the mood to do so, but a coalition of abovementioned countries, and without their approval there are no EU laws.And even that graindeal, what you are refering to stated that Ukrainian neighboring countries could be used as transit for ukrainian grain, there never was any EU law, which told, that Ukrainians actually sell their grain in EU turf, thats a hard fact .5. As you dont know EU laws, and dont have the slightest idea about the jursidiction it is rather understandable, that you think Ukrainian language law is EU conform, because there is no clausule in EU laws about indigenous minorities, it is true, but where you miss the point, is that in the entire EU territory every single language which is present is considered an official language thatswhy theres no need to specify minority languages one by one because the Lisbon treaty automatically makes them official languages, so your assessment, that the Urkainian language laws are by any standard EU conform, are rather ignorantly ridiculous. 6. The changes what Urkaine made in these laws contrary of what you say does not affect every single secondary educational institutions but only privately owned secondary education institutions. 7. Changing a law which is in effect for 7 years, from which 3 was Zelensky's term two weeks before an actual decision of Ukraine's accession is rather a trick than a genuine action on Ukrainian side to unfreeze icecold relations, which is reinforced by the fact that Ukrainian foreign minister was crying in tha Guardian about it well before it even passed the parliament, so its another rather hostile action from Ukraine. 8. Hungary playing the badboy actually plays in the hands of the EU majority, because noone actually wants Zelensky in, he is too aggressive, but they dont want to look the badguys to veto it themselves. But that doesnt change the fact that one way or another Ukraine wont be an EU candidate while Zelensky reigns there.

  34. Because its expensive and unsafe.

  35. A bunch of Brits talking about what should the EU do in itself. You are out, you wanted to be out. Please deal with your own business.

  36.  @James-mb6jt  Why would Ukraine give anything to Trump if they get European protection regardless?

  37.  @Ember-vee  The problem with batteries is that since we use them in EV-s, and demand is in the sky, currently they are extremely expensive to use them as simple energy storage devices. A ton of people, who built their offgrid home based on battery storage are outcrying that they can't replace their batteries economically anymore. Otherwise it is an excellent idea, solar produces DC with extremely varying voltages, what would make it useless for a regular electric consumer, but batteries are not as picky about their voltage requirements, and can accept DC with a little regulation, so in paper those would make an excellent cost reduction in a small scale solar installation. The real huge cost of a solar installation is the inverter, it is a really complex machinery which makes the solar DC to grid AC, on exactly adjusted frequency, and in my country you even have to provide 3 phase above 5 kW installed capacity, so we are basically handled as any powerplant connected to the grid, and thats expensive.

  38.  @romxxii  It is the case, because the US actually didn't really invade Afganistan, it payed quite a lofty sum for local mercenaries and warlords to clear out the taliban, and then flied in with some minor troops.
    3
  39. Lol theres literally no worse choice than Orban.
    3
  40. ​ @Berndr  We have inflation mainly because we cant buy cheap Russian oil and gas. But yes you're right the agricultural sector of Ukraine is missing, but for thatone we should be as grateful, as Putin to the Germans because he is driving a Mercedes, which he bought for money.

  41. You mean the Danube dear? You know how many times Herodotus wrote, that Scythians ar e living near the Danube? Three times. Do you know how many times he wrote about the french? Nada.
    3
  42.  @ultimaratio7373  Well, if you believe in the EU's founding principles, then maybe you should read that 600 page long document, which the Comission published, why Ukraine is ineligible for EU membership and start to work on the issues mentioned there.
    3
  43. Lol no dar, he didnt asked for nuclear sharing. He stated that Germany is considering to build a nuclear arsenal...
    3
  44. Well, the sole reason Orbán is in power, because he signals, he can get away with everything he does in the EU. Theres a 75% approval rating of the EU in Hungary, so if he would turn completely against it, he would be fired.
    2
  45. Lol its so cute that you think they would do anything for the Baltic states...
    2
  46. And Turkey is a beloved NATO ally... Sarcasm.
    2
  47. America is rich by printing money...
    2
  48. Well, Finland and Sweden does not qualify as NATO members yet. Maybe in a later time they will. Plain and simple. In normal cases tha ascession takes 5 to ten years, to synchronise NATO and the applicant countries, and there is a pure sign that Finland ans Sweden is just as problematic, as any other applicant is. But we can talk about Stoltenberg's behaviour, who, as the head of NATO has the duty to represent NATO members, and not to push Swedish or Finish interests. I guess, his presidency should be terminated as soon as possible.
    2
  49. We dont have the British anymore. Which means if they want to steal your fisheries we will defend them.
    2
  50. Yeah, it was actually 150.000, but not entirely an anti government rally.
    2
  51.  @aForkfulOfGold  Well, according to Marx countries are invented for the explicit purpose to divide the working class, who actually have the same interests across borders, while the leites are fighting for lands and resources. So every single nationalistic war is by default guilty, and the onlyone which should have been fought is the class struggle.
    2
  52.  @thomasselle1110  Why there arent sanctions against Ukraine then? Dont they fight a war?
    2
  53. I would be seriously interested on what Hungary has done to Ukraine except sending them diesel to their tanks food to their soldiers. I can tell you what Hungary didnt do, we didnt send weapons, but thats not that horrifying sin I guess.
    2
  54. Not everyone can turn coats that fast as you do, my Romanian friend...
    2
  55. ​ @vassilisioannou5488  Lol and do you expect us to believe this Vasily? I kinda like the greeks, they have their idiotic things like turning into werewolves when someone mentions Macedonia, from which they should be cured out sooner or later, but you are not one of them. Yo know Im Byzantine Greek from my mothers lineage.
    2
  56. Lol dear Hungary is in Europe for 1000+ years, and I can count on one finger how many times Europe actually helped we had mongol invasions, tukish invasions, russian invasions all what we ever got from Europe militarily is that you stole 60% of our country. Not to mention that magical British thing that while dropping sht in the head of Russians, at the end Brits always finds themselves magically allied with Russians in every single European war. Poles and baltics are historically illiterate if they think a British alliance would ever save them from the Russians, it never worked and never will work, simply because Britain is the least endangered country in Europe from a Russian invasion. We dont take that for a moment, that you would send a single man, you never did. Thatswhy we dont intend to anger Russians.
    2
  57.  @ultimaratio7373  Well, when you will be members, then you will have a word on this my Ukrainian friend. I strongly advise you to respect your minorities, and honour your agreements with us, because as long as you dont do it, you wont be an EU or NATO member. That was told you fair and square a decade ago, and no matter how hard you try to circumvent us, it will lead you to nowhere.
    2
  58. I dont even understand why did we got into this under Bush... He basically used our militaries to fight a colonial war, and we are supposed to be grateful for that. Thats the core problem with Americans. They tell everyone what to do, but noone can tell them, what they must do. For example I remember vividly, that our soldiers were fighting and dying in Afghanistan for a working democratic Afghan governement. Then Americans decided that its over, consulted noone, and let it slip back, as we were never there.
    2
  59.  @marcoroberts9462  Merkel, you didnt mention Merkel.
    2
  60.  @marcoroberts9462  Well, thats the problem, you know. History dooms to repeat itself.
    2
  61. Well, Hungary does support Ukraine, just not supporting it that deeply, as other EU members would like it.
    2
  62. Well, dear, we fought a holy war against Russia, and it didnt turn out too well for us, so we will skip thisone.
    2
  63. Well, no actually we learned one thing from the second world war. That the Poles got the same as reward as we got as punishment, the commies.
    2
  64. Nothing? I think Hungary is perfectly OK with the status quo.
    2
  65.  @walther2492  Can you remind me who elected von der Leyen in Hungary?
    2
  66. Lol then why are you spreading hate against the Russians and try to transform the EU into NATO? Who are these EU leaders, who are scheming against Orban? Nothing is an European or democratic value what these faceless eurocrats are doing if you ask me...
    2
  67. I thought we are already at war with Russia... Annalena Baerbock TM...
    2
  68. Well of course you can buy their grain if you organize the transport of it. But its not the duty of Ukraine's neighbors to do it.
    2
  69. We dont pay taxes to move ukrainian grain around. That would be an EU business at least.
    2
  70.  @zawiszaczarny7876  OK but the French are willing to put their money where their mouth is, they will send troops to Ukraine, although they really in for this because of the European kumbaya, they know that Russia is not a threat to them. Germans are strange people I agree.
    2
  71.  @john_doe_not_found  Well, according to the actual numbers the ukrainian military consists of 700.000 conscripts, while the russian intervention force is approx 190.000, so no, the ukrainian numbers are heavily outmatching the russians, just they don't have the weapons to manifest their dominance.
    2
  72. I think we should take in Canada to the EU though that would actually benefit everyone. Their natural gas is in big demand in Europe, and since Boeing went out of competition we could make Airbus the absolute king of aerospace together with Canadian aerospace. Mazbe we could even outcompete SpaceX.
    2
  73.  @aliceg6745  No matter what they say France is in the EU, a leading power, and we Europeans will always believe France.
    2
  74.  @orcho141  Europe can stand on their two feets without the US already. The reason we are allied is that we don't produce nukes or other WMD-s, and rely on you. Of course we have the technical ability and know how to make H bombs, but ask yourself, on what ground would you sanction any country in the world for producing nuclear weapons, in a time when 24 others are building up an arsenal. Besides if we are not allied, then if you fuck up something with China, we won't help.
    2
  75. Ask Orban, he will tell ya. Which means none of the above... Meloni would have her shot but she became splinter so noone trusts her on the center or ther right. Tusk lol, noone would trust Europe into a pole's hand, they are batsht crazy, we would get ourselves into a war in notime...
    2
  76. Because France is at the end of the Tank corridor, and if theres no resitance they will be at Normandy in a week?
    2
  77. By what part would Hungary be the cause of the Ukrainian war? Its a ten million country with the size of a French district, and a military of 50.000 while Ukraine is a 40 million country which is bigger than Poland and Germany combined and a military of 800.000. Its like stating that Luxembourg was the cause of WWII.
    2
  78. We konw the yanks did it. Now that we don't hang those liars in the Europa Parliament, who don't dare to make the findings public, because they are afraid of the yanks, is just a matter of time. Its time, that they should fear the people instead of a foreign governement.
    2
  79.  @SCH292  Honestly, it doesnt sound, that you guys are friends of Hungary.
    2
  80. We are used to threatening Americans. It gets old pretty soon. Ok the US is not a European ally, rather an adversary, we got the message.
    2
  81. You mean the planes which we bought from Sweden? Those will be phased out in 2 years, I guess our next purchase will be the Dassault Rafale. BTW it turned out, that Swedes bribed Hungarian officials to choose their planes, so thats the whole story, well not entirely, because Americans were furious that we didnt bought their F16s. And Swedes could be NATO members for 40 years, its not our responsibility, that they behaved as petulant childs, and now they want to insta join, before reaching a consensus with the members.
    2
  82.  @hellascommentor  What was your problem with Croatia or Macedonia, that they had to wait 10-15 years to join? You know whts the best on free market? That you can buy whatever you want if you have the money. Maybe we wont even buy jets, but air defense instead. Oh sorry you are Greek, so I know what was your problem with Macedonia. Dont you think its a little bit tratirorous and not very liberal, to halt the alliance, because of your nationalistic BS about where did Alexander the Great born 2000 years ago?
    2
  83. Woukd you be suprised if I tell you, that Russia is the only country in Europe which ever respected Hungarian national sovereingty? The Germans occupied Hungary, the British and the French drew maps where Hungary wasnt even presented. Yes, Hungarians have second thoughts about these nations, thatswhy a European NATO is absolutely off the table. We are in as long as the Americans are in, we trust them, we dont trust the British the French and the Germans. About the Ukrainians, everybody knows their minority laws are a bad joke, even the Poles are furious because of it. Orban told Ukrainians as long as they dont change it they wont be EU members and he is sticking to his words. Maybe if Zelensky wouldnt be such a self absorbed jrk, he could have solved this situation in his 7 years presidency. Orban has the power to derail Ukrainian EU membership, so it would be wise not to make him an enemy, as Ukrainian leadership is desperate to do, you guys will realize, that you will achieve nothing by trying to outsmart everyone.
    2
  84. Why would Ukraine give anything to the US if it gets nothing in return? It doesnt make any business sense.
    2
  85. Why dont Urkainians speak Russian then? Isnt it more convenient? Noone else speaks Ukrainian but them.
    2
  86. Why should ethnic hungarians speak the language of their ukrainian enemies then? @thematthew761 
    2
  87. Well, its not the Russians, but the Romanians and the Ukrainians, who are constantly making such threats. And we should treat them as allies, and give them weapons against us, good joke.
    2
  88.  @willthecat3861  Respond to what dear? We are living in Eastern Europe, anyone, who buys this BS, that you would send a single soldier here is daydreaming. You didnt send anyone when the mongols attacked in 1200 when turks attacked in 1500, you didnt send anyone when the Germans attacked the poles, and you wont send anyone in the future. So thatswhy we make our own foreign policy, and not making powerful enemies, because you are untrustworthy.
    2
  89.  @zoltanzzolt  Well I dont trust Russians either, but that doesnt mean, that we should give up our defense to Ukraine, where they constantly make remarks on how fast they would capture Budapest. Maybe they will be slower, if a few million of them dies.,
    2
  90. Why should Hungary leave the EU? Were there any official poll, that every single EU member is behind these actions? I doubt it. And no they wont trigger Article 7 on Ukrainian membership for the simple fact, that it is actually a crazy idea pushed by a very indoctinated neocon minority.
    2
  91. They need to pay what everyone else is paying. If its too much, then its too much for a trucker to pay his taxes too.
    2
  92.  @saibozardyt8945  Mainstream is totally nuts nowadays.
    2
  93. We are fighting a war if you didnt notice. Did anyone asked Churchill what deficit he produced before the batle of El Alamein?
    2
  94. Well, as someone very wise person told, if you didn't threw us into the soviet sphere, then we would have western pipelines with western oil coming from it. If they wouldn't stripped our ports in WWI then we would have LNG terminals. Now we have some given conditions.
    2
  95. So what? Wanna blackmail with the Gripens? You actually know, that a ton of other suppliers are waiting in a row, to supply Hungary with 4th gen fighters first, second they would never export a single Gripen out of Sweden if they would try that, because, well, noone buys military machinery which could be used as a blackmail.
    2
  96. I can tell you what happened actually. After the last defeat liberal newspapers and poll surveyors found their viewership tanking. They put up articles which literally were read by 10 people. So to save their jobs, they jumped to Magyar and building this false narrative of hope to push up their viewership again. They regularly apply self censorship when it comes to Magyar's wrongdoings and fired multiple journalists who dared to criticize him. They basically know that they have 2 years left, so they invent every kind of BS to keep their jobs a little bit longer. yes they are getting back the support of their opposition audience, but at the cost, that tehy wont be trusted anymore, when their schemes will come into light. Not to mention the word liberal is a general insult in politics, they are hated from the left because they tried to make American style healthcare, on the right because of the usual cultre issue, so these papers dont have any kind of social backing, they are just existing trying to sell, that they represent the truth.
    2
  97. Well, the fact is, the actual threats to Hungary like Romania, are all NATO countries, or your new favourite Ukraine. So the point to be in is not against Russia, because Russia is literally 1000 miles away but to keep these countries down.
    2
  98. We dont care thatmuch about NATO at all, it is a complete sham, which will be disrespected by every single signatory. Americans dont even consult any NATO member before their actions, when they btrayed the kurds, or left Afghanistan, that low their esteem is. Not a single time NATO was used except when Americans needed it for their war against terror, when the Brits fought with the Argentinians, or when Turkey was in a brink of a war with Russia, NATO declared that they are on their own.
    2
  99. Because K2 is crap compared to the Abrams or Challenger.
    2
  100.  @Berndr  As far as I remember in WW2 USA joined AFTER they were attacked at Pearl harbour.
    2
  101. We can have whatever we want to have buddy. Europe is our continent your companies are guests here.
    2
  102. Yugoslavs, Iraqis, Syrians, Afghans can explain what a threat NATO really is.
    2
  103. NATO is about Europe and North America.
    2
  104. We all know Germans spent the whole money on uboats hiding those under the shelf until they can wreak havoc on the UK.
    2
  105. 2/3 rules means in reality that you will do what the Germans and the French orders you to do...
    2
  106.  @kristof1230  How are we supposed to know, how many Finns or Swedes want to join? Your are talking about majority of population, but they don't intend to even make a referendum. Thats pretty antidemocratic and against NATO standards.
    2
  107.  @101jir  Well, yesterday the Finnish foreign minister explicitly stated, that they won't talk to the Hungarian delegation, because they are all Fidesz supporters. Thats perfectly okay, but then what are we talking about? They don't want to negotiate, and we don't want them in, plain and simple.
    2
  108.  @elaela2754  Well, Romania has no territories in Moldova, so then the whole idea is mute. But Hungarians don't want their land back they just want autonomy for their people, who are actually a majority in North Transylvania.
    2
  109. Theres a popular conteo in Hungary about the whole story. Novak actually wanted to get rid of Orban, and get in touch with the Ukrainians, which Orban somehow sniffed out, and since it is a party requirement in Fidesz, to engage in some criminal activity in order to gain trust, he simply used up the the thing which he had against her.
    2
  110. Really? Then why von Papen and the Christian democrats allied with Hitler instead of the commies?
    2
  111. Want a sane argument? I will give one to you. Germany is sitting in the middle of a goddamn recession, and the government seems like more invested on deepening it rather than resolving it. So people are turning away from them, thats a very logical result. Elected officials are not in their office to make moral speeches about supporting foreign countries above strength but to resolve domestic issues on their very country.
    2
  112. Europeans tend to be extremely polite while handing him his chopped balls.
    2
  113. Im still moderated out every single time when I put the European Joint Nuclear Forces to the table, so America dont want it otherwise I guess.
    2
  114. Lol so the ton of idiotism what you just told needs an extensive facthcheck. Pro immigration is not a leftwing, but a liberal point, as well as identity politics. It can be endorsed by the left, but thats not make them conservative to not endorse those policies. Fidesz and piS are not economically leftwing parties, they are keeping minimal wage down, perfectly anti-union religious parties, so by default conservatives on cultural and the economic landscape. They are not globalists though they support homegrown olygarchs, but those are still insanely rich people.
    2
  115. If you would do anything by force, you would be kicked out of the EU and NATO the minute you tried.
    2
  116. Nope. They must comply to European standards beforehand. Soviets suffered a lot during WWII that didnt make them less repressive.
    2
  117. NATO did that although with Serbia not Ukraine exactly as you described. And Russia didnt shoot down NATO planes so I guess we got the answer.
    2
  118. So, who are these "EU leaders", who are willing to force out a memberstate? Guess if they are as powerful, as you try to sell them to look like, they wouldnt hide in the shadows... also which "Rule of law" did Hungary went against? And if the EU funds are withold because of "Rule of Law" problems, then why would Orban get them, if he would agree to an unrelated security framework? That either means, there are no rule of law problems, in Hungary and this is only the idea to play games with a memberstate, or that the EU horsetrades the legal system to get a greenlight on some shady defense organization, which will be commaded by the same "EU leaders" who refuse to unmask themselves to the European public.
    2
  119. Well, not to tell that he holds fair elections. He changes the constitution in every three months in order not to lose his power.

  120. We still do import natural gas and not ideologies through pipelines.
    1

  124. Well, Europe has to finance Ukraine and foot most of the bills associated this war. I hope you didnt buy into the BS that Americans give 100s of billions to Ukraine while 30 Abrams are there. So to gain money we cant entirely ruin our industries and freeze our population you know, because thats pretty much more important than Ukraine...

  131.  @Ali-cya  I do think with the current drumming around Ukraine can become a NATO member in a few days after the war ends. Thatswhy this war won't end until Putin completely crush Ukraine, and push their forces to the Lviv area. Thats his strategic aim, to think about some land grabbing is just wishful thinking. He could have invaded Ukraine before, if that was his aim.

  133. ​ @btan3495  Sure, I noticed the pattern. Ukries are the good guys, so nothing bad can be said about them, thats the pattern. Even if you simphatyze with them or not, the task of the so called free press is not to spread the lies of their friends, but to tell the objective truth. Sure I know Soviet style propaganda, and I can tell ya, what western journalists do recently is way closer to that, than what Russian state news claiming. They are rational and level headed, while the west fabricating heroes and enemies, like the Soviets did.
    1
  134. ​ @btan3495  I actually know the Budapest Memorandum's text pretty much, and its not that simple, that Ukraine gave up its nuclear stockpiles for recognition of their borders. First of all, even the Budapest Memorandum did talk about a popular referendum held in Crimea, about where it intends to belong, there was even a referendum ongoing in 1991, but Ukraine intervened with military force, and stopped it. Secondly Ukraine guaranteed Russia access to the Sevastopol military base indefinitely, which Juschenko basically completely ignored, and ordered Russians to leave. Thirdly both USA and Russia guaranteed, that they won't interfere in the internal politics of Ukraine, which was clearly breached, when Victoria Nuland, Secretary of state, personally chose in a captured phone call the new leader of Ukraine, from the Maidan revolters. Does that give explicit right for Russia to invade? No, but the international law was basically tattered even before the first Russian soldier set foot on Ukrainian ground.
    1
  135.  @tszirmay  Seriously, Orban doesn't gave a dime to Budapest, he couldn't even do that, because it is more developed than the EU average. But he rather puts "solidarity taxes" on the city to punish it, because it didn't vote to him, and spends millions on euros to sheer propaganda, and to build up his cronies. The infrastructure is on the brink of collapse. The guy has record profit on VAT because high energy prices, and he dares to cut city fundings all around the country, because he don't trust mayors not entirely loyal to him.

  138. Well as long as they can maintain their efforts they will get some supplies, but I would doubt it will be enough to recapture Crimea, rather enough for them to stay in the game. Theres a certain and logical western interest to keep Ukraine as a buffer between Russia and Poland, so they wont likely collapse anyway, that should be their longterm win, but I dont think the recapture of Donbas or Crimea would worth the price for NATO. @RazzSkeltonTV

Thats the case with Ukraine and thats the case with the Baltics as well. This is the strategic reality. Any state in Europe, and add to that that the Baltic states are a military trap for any army marching in there, they are surrounded from every side, so Poles arent that stupid to let their forces being captured there.

If Merkel and Chirac would have the political power to say no to Bush for his NATO expansion ideas, we wouldnt have this war. USA does not respect NATO for a single moment. Did they asked what others think about them finishing off the Afghan mission? Did they feel bad when they spied on all of their NATO allies? They didnt they just constantly do whatever they want whenever they want, then they cry if something doesnt go the way they want it. This cant go on forever.

  155. Thats actually two thing packaged into one. Well three things. Just that Orban is corrupt in domestic politics as hell, doesnt mean, he dont understand full well, that the Germans will run to mother Russia to renew their gas contracts, and wont make outside deals disregarding any EU unity, because honestly EU unity is generally the will of Germany, if they want to trade with Russia, then that will be EU policy how to sell the trade with Russia. And the third thing is that Orban goes too far on thisone, thats absolutely right, he is not neutral towards Putin a few steps backwards and a more Austria like policy would be desirable.

  165. Ohh darling, if Hungary would declare neutrality, that would have dire consequences. First of all Romania would be completely surrounded by non NATO countries, without a chance to resupply, secondly there would be a corridor from Switzerland to Ukraine from non aligned countries, which would give a chance to any single Eastern military to attack any NATO member without notice through this corridor, from Paris to Warsaw anyone, but on the other hand NATO would lose half of its viable logistical routes to Russia, if Hungary wouldn't cooperate. Hungary is one of the most strategically important hub of Central Europe, thatswhy there were wars for 1000 years against invaders here.

  167.  @henrikl4244  Yeah sure, Serbian troops are pretty good too, they shot down an F-117 but they aren't considered eligible. But Swedes and Finns didn't held a referendum, as everyone else did, and thats not democratic, their motivations and committment is questionable, because well, the Finns promised battle tanks to Ukraine, and they broke their word, which is not a good sign for future membership, they have some conflict with another country, which should be resolved first and foremost, before the NATO membership is even considered. That some countries went absolutely nuts in NATO, that doesn't mean, that Hungary should accept easier terms than the terms that were golden standards, when we applied, we joined to that organisation, with solid groundworks, not some western agressor's club.

  174. We can wait a few years more. I doubt Putin can maintain Russian economy thatlong, and we can give Ukraine enough to keep them in the game. If they run out of money, they will leave Ukraine, not just that, Russia will break up. Wonder if the Chinese will continue to back Russia, if Trump signs a deal with Russia to retreat from their alliance... they can very easily find themselves between the hammer and the anvil. Would the US pay for Russia so it can continue its war against Ukraine? Not likely. Putin needs this deal more than Europe, if he doesnt get it, then he will face a dire situation, where he have to choose between Trump and Xi, and neither of those choices will benefit him.

So that you wont take Ukraine into NATO ever is 100% proven, Putin knows that, Orban knows that, everyone with 2 braincells know that, its not even a possibility but a fact. All this ballet is to distract the idiots, while the cards were clear in day 1. All this bullshitting is about to weaken the EU, which is in the best interest of both of these powers.

There are only hungarian schools, where the hungarian state pays for it, you appoint an ethnic romanians from Bucharest as major for 90% majority Hungarian towns, destroy Hugarian cultural heritage theoretically protected by UNESCO, hell you even colored the main square of Klausenburg to your flag. You are somewhat better than 40 years ago, but still not liberal. The best evidence is if you would be as liberal as you state, then declaring autonomy for the szeklers would be just a formality, but it is not, because in that case the central governments power would weaken in that area.

  192. Well, if Bajnai and Gyurcsany were responsible for 2008, the Orban is responsible for the covid I guess. He is in total control since 2010, a control which none of the previous governments ever had, so everything is his responsibility.

  197. One crucial point your analysis misses is that TISZA is not a real party. Tisza is Peter Magyar, and noone else. If Orban would be in trouble he would just call a snap election, TISZA doesnt have representatives along the country, so they would lose out everywhere. Even if everyone would vote for Magyar, the local representatives give a comfortable supermajority to Orban. Besides the fact that if they try to organize a party in 3 months, Orban will just put his moles everywhere into their ranks, because they dont have time to run proper background checks on their candidates, and sabotage them from the inside. The only way how Magyar could be dangerous to Orban is if he organizes a colour revolution and removes him directly.

  202. Sorry to inform you, but there is no such thing as Kosovan. Even those people, who you call as Kosovan, are actually refering to themselves as Albanian. Therefore Kosovo is a totally artificial state. The sole reason why it exists is that the Americans didnt want to be seen as the first power in Europe since WWII who helps to change borders, so they rather created this thing. @fahimshamsuddin672

  203. No, that wouldnt be enough. Yougoslavia was a federal state so there was no question that a Croatia a Slovenia, a Serbia or a Bosnia existed inside it. However Kosovo was always part of Serbia for the reason that there wasnt any entity called Kosovo before the Americans invented it, and Albania wasnt part of Yugoslavia either. Even if we consider the rights of the Albanian population there, and dont ask the question of how they got there on the firstplace, the best thing under the European peace architecture which they could achieve was autonomy what the Catalonians have. @fahimshamsuddin672

Just ask, how is it possible, that in Spain they can crush the Catalonian referendum, that in France, Greece, Germany, the Netherlands, the Danes there are no registered ethnic minorities at all (well there would be, but those are supressed heavily), that Croats made an entire county Serb free, that Slovaks and Czechs have legislations in place which lets them to confiscate German and Hungarian property for free, and they are doing it each year, that in Estonia Latvia and Lithuania 20% of their population, who are living there longer than these countries even exist doesnt have citizenship, and made as second class citizens. Well I guess, if we would have free press, which is interested in human rights, it should be screaming about these all day long. Unfortunately the universal declaraton of human rights is not as tolerant for these kind of things as the European Jurisdiction.

  207. Yeah stupid Merkel cut the nuclear powerplants in Germany. Well unlike you well educated trash journalists, stupid Merkel has a PhD in nuclear chemistry, she knows exactly where the nuclear lobby is overselling their fantasy. Sure just put Europe on nuclear, that would cost more than Europes total GDP, and wouldnt return a dime in 30 years, so it would totally trash European economy. Besides the fact that if theres a 1 to 10.000 chance one will go off according to their own evaluation, and they build 10.000 reactors that means 1 reactor will go off every single year.

Not saying they should be losing it, it is simply neither the Russian nor the Ukrainian working class should fight in this war for mere territorial objectives, because it does not serve their interests.

  225. Only if you would know that this pressure campaign is the idea of the Baltic states, which are even less significant and more of a liabilty than Hungary would ever be.

  226. That wouldnt change thatmuch. In that case Hungary would ignore every single EU ruling, and would trade whomever Hungary wants to trade... Noone tells any other EU country that they cant sanction anything they want, the problem is that they want to force Hungary to sanction things it needs, like natural gas and the nuclear powerplant in construction. Since that plant alone worth more than the entire EU money, thats absolutely off the table, EU sycophants can cry as long as they want.

What do you think which part we lack, the paper you are pushing it on,or the ink, so we cant have it? We lived for decades without you and can live for thousand years after you. We are not your slaves or your colonies but independent nations.

  230.  @ysy662  Ohh we dont like Russia, but honestly they are very far away. And the only slavs who we trust are the poles. We dont want you to have quarrels with the Slovaks, or the Czechs, or the Romanians, but these people will always be our main enemies, so we cant form an alliance with them. Thats a historical given. And as long as these are arrogantly loud these days the Russian threat are balancing them out a little bit.

  231.  @ultimaratio7373  Ohh, you are, noone else call the Russians Ruzzians. Not that it matters, we had pretty good relations with you before you made this Banderite turn, which is kindof sad, but doesnt change the fact, that any Hungarian government would be forced to act against your country. All what we can do to help is to be crystal clear about what do we want from you to be good neighbours.

  232. Its not that easy to put back in the faith which was lost in 30 years you know. First the Turks are fed up, because they realized, that even is they become the most liberal of liberal democracies, they will never be part of Europe, well, because they are a muslim country, and to everyone's biggest suprise the liberals of the liberals dont really like non white muslim people, and it would be hard to explain to the Hungarians, how come, that all the 3 major European wars happened in our borders, and there is not a single NATO soldier stationed here, because the 10.000 strong US expeditionary force is defending Germany from the wrath of the Danes! Or Belgium, or Switzerland, or whatever grave danger lurking around Western Europe. If you ask the question why any random Hungarians burst out laughing when they hear about NATO, thats because it sounds as a joke to us. But they are defending us. From Germany. We should be grateful for the USA. As well as we should be grateful for the Marshall plan. Which we received nothing of. And that they liberated us from Hitler. Which the Russians did. Or they protected us from the Russians. To whom they given our country in Yalta. And we should remember 56. When they didnt come. So we should give Ukrainians what we got back then. Which we give more. Turns ot the greatest thing we should be grateful to the Americans, is that we got the opportunity to fight and die against terrorists in Afghanistan, which even the Soviet Union didnt dare to ask us to do.

  236. Well, the Baltics start to cause too much trouble for Europe compared to their size. I dont think that the gravest concern of a 500 million strong block should be that what happens to 6 million people on its very eastern flank, so if that is not cost effective to sustain their positions, I guess the best way would be to give them back to Russia.

  247.  @TheMasterTeddy  If Putin would destroy that pipeline, your media would run around with the evidence like its a victory cup. The sole reason why they are silent is because it wasnt Putin. And only two countries in NATO has the naval power to do it, the US and Britain, but Britain would never do such actions without the explicit command of Washington. So you have a shale gas deposit, thats good to hear, but that is a german decision to utilize it, which Biden has no word about, as well as using or not using Nord Stream is a German decision to be made. Thatshow democracy works.

  249.  @TLDnoR  Well, it is not entirely true.

  260. Lol, those poles, who recently closed down their borders for Ukrainian truckers? Oh you didnt hear it, theres not just problems with the grain shipments. And guess which is the only open border for them currently? Yep you are right, they can only cross through Hungary to the EU.
    1
  261.  @omi685  You mean we should take back our territories? Well, maybe then a Russian alliance would be beneficial, dont you think. Finding pride in that your European countries made Hungary unlivable by itself actually shows, that you are not our allies, but our enemies, and actually every single country has the right of self preservation, so you give us the right to make a livable country, by all means necessary. We got it once, we can get it again.
    1
  262.  @omi685  Lol dear, by some miracle we got those territories, which means they are not unconquerable. For example now we have an excellent opportunity to take back the stuff we lost to the Soviets. As the saying goes you eat the elephant bit by bit. Luck is changing. Besides its not you, who are crying, that we should align with Russia? Well, they are kinda strong, you know, and the last thing you want is a huge corridor between the Russians and the Serbs, because you know on first round it means bye bye Kosovo and Bosnia, and maybe we get something in return as well. Yeah the NATO, which has as many enemies around the world, you cant even decide who to fight first. Yeah that means, that you will either clowning around China, or China would be in in Europe with support so that NATO cant clown around in China, but the result is kindof the same. And we didnt even talk about your little games with Turkey, well, if they are in as well, the space vacuum would feel as deep ocean of how isolated Romania would become, because neither road nor sea would lead there through friendly territory, they could starve or give in on any demand. And those were the hard picks Slovakia under any circumstances took us 3 to 7 days regularly, when they actually have a military which they donated to the ukries. BTW that would be the very first country which is a NATO member, and officially attacked. So be careful what you wish for, you may get it, chances arent as grim as you would like to see. But not going that far, if Russia manages to close on these countries, they will shit their pants as they usually do, and become way more manageable. It is even possible, that Romanians turn coats again, as they usually do, and we will be allies, as we usually are and Im quite sure Czechs and Slovaks will find their soviet lover panslavic inner self sooner or later. The only ones who you can trust from this branch are the Poles, they wont switch, but fortunately we dont have any problems or territorial claims on them.

  263. Lol no way we will spend on military with this deficit. Military is just eating up financial resources not bringing them in, so actually we have to cut back defense spending by a large margin.

  268.  @emilsinclair4190  After countless wars fought on the Middle East by western government noone with a sane mind really thinks this as a valid reason. Yep there are wars all over the world, but seriously, your country don't trade with Israel because they are fucking with the palestinians? You have sanctions against the USA because it started multiple wars without UN approval? Yor country doesn't buy batteries because those are mined with slave labour in Kongo? There is no moral high ground on this topic, not a single one, but to differentiate the ukrainians because they are white europeans is kinda baltantly racist. And if we are talking about moral liabilities, then we are responsible for the afghans and iraqis, because we fucked up their countries, and not the ukrainians, because russians fucking up their countries. But it works otherwise, we deport those, whose fathers were killed by our military, and support those, whose fathers were killed by another military.

  272. Europe can wait a few years more. I doubt Putin can maintain Russian economy thatlong, and we can give Ukraine enough to keep them in the game. If they run out of money, they will leave Ukraine, not just that, Russia will break up. Wonder if the Chinese will continue to back Russia, if Trump signs a deal with Russia to retreat from their alliance... they can very easily find themselves between the hammer and the anvil. Would the US pay for Russia so it can continue its war against Ukraine? Not likely. Putin needs this deal more than Europe, if he doesnt get it, then he will face a dire situation, where he have to choose between Trump and Xi, and neither of those choices will benefit him, because he will make one of them a powerful enemy.

They have what we need we have what they need, its an alliance made in heaven.

  288. OK, so the problem as I see from the comments, is that our Polish friends dont understand the rules of the bigboy club, where the British the French and the Americans want them. The rules of the bigboy club is that there are no rules in the bigboy club, except that if another bigboy hits you you hit back twice as hard, or face the consequences. There are no international laws, agreements, allies, daddy America comes in and saves the day, nothing except raw power there, but the bright side is the toddler club will pretend that anything you do is right as long as they think you are useful to them. If you accept an advice form a state which is in Europe for 1100 years, if I would be Poland, my first batch of 50 nuclears would have already came down from the production line.

  289. We will see, but I'm highly sceptical. This "we will take back Kherson in a day" bullshit is at least 4 months old. Although makes some sense, as the ukrie military is on its last legs, so they can sue for peace afterwards keeping the city and accept other losses. The dam will however will remain under russian control, they need the water for Crimea.

  293.  @olivers.7821  Well you actually know that in 1992 half a year after Ukraine born, the Krimean autonomous region's parliament declared their wish for independence and wanted to hold a referendum about it, but ukrainian military moved in and crushed the rebellion. The western people are so naive that they believe an ultranationalist Ukraine is so much better than Putin's little world, they are democratic, because they ousted the russian puppet guy, but we are neighbours with them, we know, that these are the same kind of people, and your problems with Hungary will be nothing compared to if you take them in now. Even if Russia wouldn't exists that country would be on the verge of a civil war and collapse, simply because the nationalities there can't tolerate eachother, rather trying to gain an upper hand against eachother and form a homogeneous nation state which only can be achieved by violence and genocide.

For a nuclear reactor it takes 30 years to break even with a gasturbine, if we calculate with the capital investment it requires.Reinforced concrete by itself is expensive.

  328. Theres food inflation which means farmers earn enough without subsidies already. It can go. BTW I dont understand this tax cut on diesel. I as a driver would welcome a tax cut on diesel, why should I pay their costs. Why do they need a tractor for every 10 hectares, why dont they team up for one? And this isnt about food security, since 40% of their products go to biofuels. If you want food then grow food, not use it to make biodiesel and ethanol. I can tell ya why they are so upset. They bought out all the corn and wheat after the drought in 2021 and sat on it for half a year, and speculated that prices will go up, thatswhy the food inflation started even before the war in Ukraine, but the Ukrainian grain flooded the market and their speculation wasnt as lucrative as they expecetd it to be. They didnt want to save Europe from a food crysis, they wanted to cause one and profit on it, because farmers are as capitalists when it comes to their business as anyone else.

  351. No, I think we only had problems with the Russians once, in 1848, the other occasion were the Soviets. And honestly, Im more afraid of giving our energy dependence to Croats or Romanians, than from the Russian tanks, because Russians never treated Hungary as part of Russia, but Romanians and Croats are genuinely hostile nations, who would do anything in their power to cause trouble to Hungary.

  352. Well, no in WWI we technically won against the Russians, remember they quit early because of Lenin. And yeah the Soviets, which technically included Ukraine, led by a Georgian thatswhy I wouldnt mix it with Russians. Well, Hungary wasnt an independent nation under them, BUT they never stated even then that Hungary would be part of the Russian sphere, thatswhere we are fundamentally different from the Poles or the Baltics, because Poles were indeed part of the Russian empire once. And this is not about siding with Russia, but keeping all options open. If we burn the bridges with Russia, that means we have no choice but to rely on the Romanians, if we keep both of them, we have the option to ditch any of them, if we dont like what they are doing.  @JackChurchill101

Yeah sure, buddy, we are reading that since Trump and Brexit, of how the Brits and Americans don't care about Europe, and that they wouldn't honour their NATO obligations, and after that you are really suprised, that some take that stance seriously and don't intend to go into adventures with Russians. To be honest we never took NATO that seriously, and handled it as a bluff, which should be never called down, and we know, that after this war is over, you will pack up and go to Asia to wage war against China, but Russia will stay where it is, and whatever it does it can do without punishment.

  368.  @jamesbohlman4297  Oh my dear, your country wouldn't even exist, if we wouldn't stand firm and stop the Mongols, the Turks and any other invaders who came from the East for 1000 years, usually without any western aid. Problem is, that you can't differentiate between slavic countries, which didn't even exist 100 years ago, and thatswhy don't know western treachery as good as we do, who are an independent country since the William the Conqueror set foot on your land. Yeah sure bud, you can take in the so called Grand duchy of Finland, as far as I remember that was its name for a few hundred years, and the so called Ukraine, which in itself means "Borderlands", into the so called NATO, but your word and your alliance doesn't count that much, and if these countries will get into trouble you will be nowhere. If you don't believe me, you can see, how did you throw Poland and the Finns to the Russians after World War II, because you know thats the thing you always do, and we won't put too much into your words. United Europe is a little bit ironic statement from a Brexiteer, if you let me that to point out, Europe is not united, and it will never be, because its a goddamn big continent with lots of nationalities, and conflicting interests. We take care of our own best interests, which is not to anger Russians Turks, and Germans. Unfortunately Americans and Brits are not in the equation, as they don't really have stakes in Central Europe, just distant voices, who always want to make some trouble and want some cheap military action to distract any potential threat from a big European Empire in their doorstep. Thats exactly the thing you are doing in Ukraine, and it looks like it came directly from Lord Palmerston's playbook.

No dear Ukraine in NATO was always a US neocon project, which had nothing to do with Europe. I dont say Europe shouldnt have said outright no to such pressures given the unpopularity of that political class in the US. Although that would require some fortune telling since when George Bush and John McCain did that Republicans were their greatest supporters, not their greatest critics. This will all end up noone believing a single word what a US diplomat utters to them ever, and being extremely conservative on any suggestion any American president is doing, because even if they mean what they say, theres no guarantee that the US wont do a 180 on that issua in a few years.

  401. Not too likely. Magyar is an ex crony of Orban's breed, the left hates him with a passion, and he is basically representing the upper class liberals who want their taxcuts in place and push their neoliberal agenda, and who are not enough to win an election. Meanwhile Orban offered some inflation reduction options, which was criticized by the liberals mking them even more despised among the general population. MKKP or the Dogs are even worse, they dont have any idea beyond organizing gay parades and legalizing cannabis, which sounds good in the capital, where they exist, sounds horrible in the countryside. they will never be a real political party, only a fringe cultural phenomenon endeared by a very slim caste of people. If I have to bet, that because of this division Orban will actually win such a landslide which will suprass anything he previously had.

  413. The reason why Orban constantly gerrymandering the elections is because he stole too much, and knows, he will go to jail, if anyone else wins. He literally has a luxury liner parking in Monte Carlo, while the Hungrian economy is struggling. Meanwhile he never worked outside of the government and for a ship like that even the prime minister's salary would take a millienia to spare.

  414. Was that study written by someone, who actually produced a nuke? 6 months is complete nonesense, you would need breeder reactors built specifically for plutonium production, and at least 5 years to produce a functional one. Commercial NPP-s are not good, except maybe the RMBK design of Chernobyl on a very special configuration. The key is the isotope ratio of Pu239 vs Pu240 which cannot be separated chemically. Commercial powerplants produce highly contaminated plutonium, and too much Pu240 cause premature critical reaction. To achieve an acceptable yield an implosion design needs to compact the plutonium core for at least 0.1 milliseconds, what is unachievable that way.

  415.  @badluck5647  Well, no madamme Merkel did everything in her power to torpedo any sanction against Orban. Sure it was more convenient for her tha Orban did the dirty job, she could play the wilkommenskultur card and be the civilized goodgirl and secretly sending him messages not to let any migrant in. Last time when she tried to axe the rule of law mechanism her ultima ratio was that the EP should make a compromise, because they always make a compromise. Actually most of the leaders in EU are more responsible for building up the Orban empire than the average hungarian voters. As a russian opposition girl put it, they are balming the russians not to overthrow putin, but when they protested on the streets, their leaders were sitting in football matches with him, and kissed his hands.

  423. I have nothing against them, but didnt the EU had some plans to import Azeri and Kazakh gas through some pipeline in the future? (The pipeline is already there, and under pressure testing, which runs up to Austria so its a little bit late to stir up sht British style) How would that materialize in an openly hostile environment? So either Armeniuans swallow the hard pill that their Azeri buddies will trade with the EU, well because thats the baseline interest of the EU, or theres no way we can be besties forever. For the Brits, if you keep interfering in European interests, we will have no other choice but to invade your island, sorry, I would suggest that after brexit you guys should focus on that global Britain concept of yours and leave the EU alone with your ideas.

In 2 days he can destroy Hungarian economy and galopping back to power as a saviour.

  437.  @johaquila  Yeah, I kind of remember when Merkel and co, the so called Northern states played that PIGS game in 2008 with Southern Europe, told Eastern Europe that we are on our own, used their hiena press to make racial slurs about the Greeks, informed Varoufakis, that while democracy is an important value, they dont give a crap about their national referendum, and when they dared to resist she destroyed their banking, sent people who were elected by noone to override the monetary decisions of sovereign states, by literally taking over the ministries of finance, and cherry on top meanwhile letting the biggest economy of the world to fall back to the third place and after that we are suprised, if someone is laughing in this "Europe is one big happy community with shared values" bullshit and that fascism is rising. Well it could be, but Germans blew it. They were shortsighted as usual. And now they let the Americans blow the winds ideologically, which is never ever a great idea, because for everyone's suprise, Americans are making policies for the Americans and dont give a crap about the EU. If you want to know why Orban is there where he is, its because the economic history of Hungary was a 30 years long austerity program from 1989 to 2008 lead by the IMF and the ECB, and people got goddamn enough, that the situation actually got worse after joining the EU, meanwhile Orban promised, that thistime the banks will pay.

  439. As far as I remember, when Hungary joined the EU Germany already completed Nordstream 1 then they sabotaged the Nabucco project together with Chirac, so talking about any rule in existence about Russia inside of the EU which Hungary actually breach is kindof sycophantic. But I go further than that, in 2008 when Orban secured his presidency the socialist literally begged for help from the EU, and they got the answer, that the country is on its own. Which somewhat miraculously wasnt the case later, because mutte Merkel regularly showed support for Orban, even as long as 2020, when she tried to axe the legislation which even lets the EU parliament to consider these options. Or we can talk about how big role models the brexiteers are for the Hungarian extremists. There is a very grounded oppinion on the Hungarian population, that Orban is a mastermind, because somehow he always won the support of the EU at the end. So to speak against the evils of the Hungarian population is kindof a very sycophantic standpoint. As Russian opposition regularly say, that while we protested on the streets, your politicians shaked hands with Orban and Putin and congratualted each other in your football arenas. And while I never voted for Orban, I dont see your moral highground either, to talk about Hungary like that. You had your chance to deal with this a decade ago and you fcked it up. NATO is even more problematic. There is literally no NATO presence in Hungary for 3 decades, all the thing we know about them, that Americans are bragging about money, and what military hardware we should buy from them, giving or military equipmaent to other nations, then crying for more, we literally given all of our t72-s to the Ukries a decade before this war, now you want our Leopards as well, or that into which desert we must send our soldiers to die, and making enemies in places, where they didnt even heared about us. And that for a so called ally, whose every second word, is how it will leave Europe to China. I cant throw stone on anyone who thinks, that the whole thing is an utter joke, which we shouldnt be part of. To be honest you need more of us than we need you. If we leave NATO nothing changes for us tomorrow, but you will be no longer capable to reach Romania and Bulgaria on road or rail to resupply.

  441.  @B1gLupu  You know it would be easier to sell Putin a Finnlandized Ukraine, which is militarily neutral and member of the EU if Finns wouldnt shtted your pants and ran under daddy NATO's protective umbrella, so I would say Finns screwed up Ukrainians pretty big... guess Stubb doesnt tell that part of the story between two warmongering speeches... the icing on the top, is Finns would have been defended anyway, the Lisbon treaty has a special cause for collective defense for every single EU member.

Besides that we have to do something with Russia, otherwise they will interpret our weakness as a greencard to rebuild their empire.

  446. We still have the Russian pipelines dear, LNG wont be a problem. Militarily speaking the EU has 600 nuclear weapons on its arsenal, which will be enough on the short term... And theres no trade surpuls with the US theres trade surplus on goods with the US which is reinbursed in services. Now it all depends what deal we can make with China. I know they dont like American digital products, but Europe is different, they know we wont be in war in the next few years.

BTW as far as I know Iceland qualifies quite high on the corruption index since everybody is everybody's nephew, and things dealt in family. Not that we make it a big deal, but facts are facts.

  451. They don't even want to talk with the Hungarian delegation sent to Helsinki and Stockholm to meet them and make some agreement. So I guess they are not really want to join, just want to make some internal quarrel in NATO.

  452. ​ @101jir  They are constantly badmouthing Hungarian democracy, but thats not really the thing why we didn't ratify. I think initially we simply joined up Erdogan, because we have seen these kind of attacks against Turkey, and we consider them as allies, who shouldn't left alone.But now we have some problems, first of all, that we don't believe in their commitment, which is based on some polls taken on a telephone survey rather than a referendum, and we really don't like the idea that they wanna join in the middle of a very tense situation. In the days, when we joined, noone could join NATO who had such a problem as they seemingly have with Russia.

  455. Well, if you want Russian military bases in the middle of Europe, maybe some nuclear tipped Iskander missiles 5 minutes from Berlin, a bloodlust Serbia connected to the Russian military in a 400 km wide corridor, a NATO split into two segments, a Romania in more dire situation than the Baltics today, and mandatory drafting in all of Europe to try to protect this whole steaming pile of crap, we can talk about it... Lol if you antagonize the turks, you wont even have naval access to the Black sea dear. That would be the wettest dream of mr Putin, even the old tzars couldnt reach the Balkans as easy, to stir up trouble there. At least WWIII would break out in Europe again, not in China.

  457. I dont want to sadden you but the EU wasnt designed as an anti Russian alliance, so Orban doesnt breach any agreement by doing business with Putin. Actually most of the EU states did it most recently. So they changed their mind? Good for them, it doesnt oblige anyone to anything.

And yeah all what the Fidesz cares about is stealable money, and while there is the feud with the EU, they cant steal the amount they wish for, so theres a high chance they try to coup Orban. @NisiCaloponis

  462. Thatswhy 1. theres no reason for Hungary to enter into any war. 2. Hungary will never support a landthief. So Ukraine loses territories to Russia, welcome to the club...
    1
  463. Well, not exactly. I will tell you, if Hungary would switch sides, that would be the death of Ukraine. Then Hungary would be interested to secure its Russian energy supplies, and russia would be interested to get to the southern border, because that would give them a corridor to Serbia, Kosovo, and Bosnia. You would lose half of Europe in a month. And of course Romania would be totally isolated. If you manage to anger the turks enough they couldnt even get their ships through.
    1
  464. Yep, we in Hungary pretty much know that, thatswhy we wouldn't fight the russians, just show them the fastest route to Western Europe. We never cried that virtually no NATO troops were stationed here ever, but we don't say we would die a heroic death like the baltics do. It was enough for us to defend you from the Mongols, the Ottoman Empire, the Russians, and everything comes from the east without any help for centuries, some of them even offering alliance if we let them pass through to Wien and Italy, and have our capital demolished multiple times, and our country decimated by western powers, what is actually a good thing now, because noone can use us as a staging ground. Now its your turn to defend yourself, we care for our own business. We take part on this alliance as long as it serves our interests and not longer. Of course everyone hates our politicians, because they are realists, and not joining the russian chinese or I don't konw how much bandwagon exists, but thats the best of our country, and other countries should take care for themselves. Sure most of the Eastern European countries are looking for the west with starry eyed naivete, because they didn't even exist 100 years ago, but we are here for 1000 years, we have already seen western treachery in action multiple times.

The difference between the US and the EU is that the US is printing money whenever they need it and spread helicopter money like theres no tomorrow, while noone with a sane mind would ever think that theres any country in the world which can actually repay 30 trillion dollars of debt, like till the sun becomes a supernovae 5 billion years from now.

  468. I dont see what SPD would profit from such a coalition... they would share the blame for Merzs policies, while not even being represented in the decisionmaking. I would pass thisone. Merz can make a coalition with the Greens, they are more well suited for a hawkish approach. Meanwhile SPD could make a peace platform with the left, thats more fitting for their ideology.

  470. Really? I thought that Zelensky changed the German constitution by sending out his forces to beg for tanks, i would even say that Ukrainian secret services had their touch on that action. He literally accused of sabotaging one of Europe's gas pipeline, and no action was made against him. Why should we pretend that you have the upper hand against him. Your leaders are weak AF to say him no or validly putting barriers and roadmaps before Ukraine, where they wouldnt try to move the goalpost or get ahead with a little bit of name and shaming, so theres no roadmap or anything which could convince any realist to let them in while he is in power. @gfyphg9871

Slovaks also not call themselves Slovaks but Slovenes, which has nothing to do with the other Slovenes.

  491. Even 20 billion is a nice thing to do, the US could have chose to deliver nothing. But I tend to beive it most of the junk in Ukraine tend to be either Soviet leftover, or European. AT systems like the Javelin the Himars and the Bradleys are the exceptions.

  503. Hungarians are men of their words. We promised to every other country in Europe, that we won't bring up our old disputes with them, for a peaceful future, and we are sticking to it, because as soon as we start these old quarrels in Europe about the Danzig corridor, the Sudeten Germans, and so on, war is ensured. Yep the Soviets did horrible things to Germans and Hungarians Romanians, the Hungarians Romanians and Germans made even more horrible things to the Soviets. They lost 40 million and killed somewhat 700.000. These things should be remembered and forgiven.

  504. ​ @lesferenczi5716  What did the Brits or French do to Hungary other than stealing 60% of its territories and give them to others? Whom were the real ones, who really empowered Orban, because Putin didn't have such an influence, when he came into power. They thought that Orban is the anti-commie they want to further their goals, but it turned out, that his anti-commie stance is not blind hatred towards Russians, but the system.
