So probably means they won’t defend anyone else either then… worthwhile addition to NATO.

So thats why they want Ukraine to lose, they want to be part of Papa Putin’s country and Russia would be able to invade them next.

So a way to deal with Orban is to invade Hungary, remove him from power, organize legit elections to replace him, then move out, understood.

Ah … this would be the same Viktor Orban who Trump described as a “well respected, strongman” in a recent debate I take it?

Obviously. Locating and killing Orban is probably pretty easy, just follow the food delivery services.

NATO should see this as a member being unwilling to commit to Article V. Give Hungary the fucking boot.
NATO needs to clean house with some useless fucking nations in the group. I understand why NATO won’t boot them out – but it just looks weak.

Orban is the turd that won’t flush away.

Whats new? Hungary didnt defend itself last time the russians invaded.
SuperRetroSteve on
Imagine being proud of that.
Anyway, are there any countries that currently have territorial claims on Hungarian land? Sounds like it’s up for grabs.

Are there any Habsburgs left to replace these kremliners?

Perhaps true for the Orbán administration, but what about the other 99% of the people in Hungary?

It’s my opinion that he’s actually saying that Ukrainians have bigger balls than Hungarians 😉

> Balázs Orbán, the political director and close adviser to the Hungarian prime minister, has caused a wave of outrage among Hungarians with his statement that Hungary would not have fought a defensive war in 1956 like Ukraine, as it would have been "Irresponsible".
> Answering a journalist's question about what would have happened if the United States had helped Hungary in 1956, Balázs Orbán said that, in his opinion, it would have led to World War III. "We might have won, or we might not have won; the neighbouring countries might have been with us or they might have been against us," he said.
> Critics took Balázs Orbán's statements as a hint that Hungary would not fight a defensive war in the event of an attack.
He’s not fit to lead the country, Hungary has a proud history of hundreds of years of defending Europe from all comers.

What do you mean hints??? He openly admitted it. There was no confusion, no way to misinterpret it. He said this right leaning, patriotic, sovereign government would not fight a **defensive** war. He is openly admitting that he would rather capitulate than protect his country.
I hope the “patriots” in their new EU-parliament faction take note…

They should give Ukraine all their weapons and ammo since they don’t need it. Also, kick their ass out of NATO for Christ’s sake.

I think people like Orban are colloquially called “treasonous swine”.
