I'd trade Ukraine getting NATO membership if it means Hungary loses it.
Can't we just combine Austria and Hungary again? Everybody loved that.
Well, except Bosnian Serbs I guess.
Austria isn't as blatant as Hungary but their policy is also pretty russia-friendly.
And there is a reason A-H collapsed and it wasn't just because of WW1 and Bosnian Serbs. Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Romanians or basically anybody who wasn't German or Hungarian hated the monarchy in the end(With the possible exception of the Croats, who reached some kind of agreement with Hungarians right before the collapse).
for a second I thought A-H stood for Adolf-Hitler lol those acronyms will one day be the death of me
Yeah, at least we know that Ukrainians aren't fifth columnists.
Yeah, with their filthy newspapers.
I'll celebrate the day when the people of Hungary do the right thing.
Around May next year. Might not be the right thing we're both thinking of, but at least there will be elections in 2026.
Damn, I hate this man so much.
"There’s nobody that’s better, smarter or a better leader than Viktor Orbán. He’s fantastic. He's a noncontroversial figure because he said, ‘This is the way it’s going to be,’ and that’s the end of it, right? He’s the boss and … he’s a great leader, fantastic leader. In Europe and around the world, they respect him."
Donald Trump, predictably
Won’t someone rid us of this turbulent shitstain?
good thing our glorious german arms manufacturer Rheinmetall (creators of the Leopard tanks) built the world's most high-tech tank factory in fucking Hungary of all places. Putin will soon sport some sleak looking new MBT's in Ukraine thanks to us greedy Germans :)
FTFH: Orbán: “Ukraine is not NATO member and I ~~intend~~ was commanded by Putin to keep it that way”
Quote: "NATO has no business in Ukraine. Ukraine, just like Russia, isn't a NATO member, and my job is to make sure it stays that way."
He said it was "his job" but never mentioned who he works for
Of course he will keep it that way. He won't have the time to continue sucking off Putin if he has to think about NATO membership. Hungary needs to flush that miserable turd down the political toilet once and for all.
Hungary should follow Slovakia’s proposal and leave NATO.
If the next year's elections fail and Orbán stays in power then we can start calling it Western Belarus from then on.
Homie looks like the heel of a foot. Putin sure knows how to pick the pretty ones.
Toady looks like toad.
I hate this ugly fuck
We'll just have to see what Magyar thinks about it then.
While he's not as extreme as Órban, Magyar is also against helping Ukraine defend itself, and he's being at least ambivalent about letting join the EU and NATO after the war.
We might have a Hungary problem, not a Fidesz problem.
When faced with the choice of good relations with the EU (including funding and cooperation) and standing with Putin, Magyar may, unlike Orban, make the pragmatic choice.
When you have someone blow the double of the whole healthcare budget on Ukraine fearmongering, who has been supported by a practically unlimited EU budget, it becomes hard to campaign on Ukraine.
Magyar pledged to have a referendum on Ukraine joining, when the question actually comes up. I don't know what else he can do right now, considering the situation.
Most Hungarians support the unconditional early joining of Ukraine BTW, and a lot more support it if conditions are kept.
Seems like we usually do. Still the sick man of Europe, I guess
I thought you were talking about Ukraine's head of UAV forces for a second lol
I'm more of a fan of that one than the Turkish one. Hope it doesn't come to that!
Ukraine is fishy especially their presiden.
Books are where it's at!
A journalist should ask him if Trump's asshole tastes like Putin's dick.
Zdrastvuytie Sasha, one comment and five rubels in your pocket.
Sometimes you have to be that when a completely separate nation invades your sovereign nation illegally.
They are at least not as fishy as putin, damn that man stinks.
Fish rots from the head first.
I will make sure you and sadly your people will be dropped by the EU
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
