How about the EU cancelling treacherous Hungary’s membership once and for all?

Do it with Fico and Orban sitting outside - then the decision will be unanimous. What are they going to do? Call the Brussels police?

Like the United States, Hungary is a Russian vassal state.

Nazi underboss gangster Viktor Orban is threatened EU unless they do what his boss Putin says?

Constantly amused at Hungary’s perceived outsized influence, when in-fact, they are a small regional player.

EU construction error. Russian oblasts like Hungary or Slovakia can’t be expelled.

Extortion demand from one of EU's members.

The longer we let this mangy tail wag the dog, the more catastrophe we're inviting into our homes.

EU: "why should we except him?" Orban: "because he gave me money." Corrupt sack of

Orban detests the EU. Maybe they should Hungrexit, and then make Hungary join his beloved mother Russia as a vassal estate like Belarus.

The Hungrexiters would probably lose the referendum and the rest of EU will be like "Oh, come on!"

Here’s an idea, why doesn’t the EU get rid of this Russian plant and stop this nonsense? Why have countries that don’t align with the majority’s views, Hungary obviously doesn’t mesh with the rest of the EU so join Russia, Iran, North Korea and the US.

Trump style dealmaker.

Hungary off

Shame for the Hungarian people who will be the ones to suffer from any European sanctions against the government.

The African Union (and others) need to learn from the European Union's mistake: build in mechanisms to deal with a member going rogue before you worry about getting more members on board with assurances such as vetoes.

I wonder if their population will get their democracy back.

pepperthepirate.bsky.social•10 days ago

I think so. AFAIK Orban‘s Party is projected to lose majority in 2026, so he’s gone. Still it’s one more year.

Hungary has learned from usa and uk. UN repeatedly tried to call out Israel for war crimes in the Gaza genocide over last two years. USA and uk stopped it each time. UN, ucc, nato, all destroyed by aipac politicians before trump even showed up to do it.
