Europe can't afford to consult traitorous countries like Hungary that undermine our efforts to support Ukraine and enhance European defense. We need to form coalitions of the willing and act swiftly, excluding them from the process

It's time to make a EU article 7 suspending of Hungary when it comes to free travel, stoped allowance to vote in the EU Council, and stop in all economic benefits.
Hungary and maybe Slovakia needs to be suspended in EU.
I wish we could do the same about Nato Art 5. Lets stop what is possible
Yes EU att 7 suspending of Hungary needs to be done medically, and if Slovakia helps Hungary in violating this suspension, then Slovakia also should get suspended. Close all but few border crossings. And stop free passage without lots of documents.
Each Nato member should in close secret meetings tell Hungary they will send absolutely minimum Nato help to Hungary if attacked. That is the way to do it. And never acknowledge that threat in public,and if Orban say we threaten him, than we say it never happened, "but we might suspend exercises"
As the European liberal democracies abide by international rules and norms, these *rogue* states aligned with 🇷🇺 can quickly outflank and stymie our plans. We need to be much firmer and more agile in dealing with these vatnik states. Difficult but not impossible if will is there.
This is a real test for the EU - the assumption at the outset was that everyone would share the same values and world view and there are few mechanisms to work around bad faith actors such as Hungary
Joining the EU was buying into a view on politics, democracy and cooperation. When a member strays off, they should consider an exit strategy. If not, the EU should strongly point out the way to behave.
There's a reason Von der Leyen's plans announced today are all things that do not require unanimity vote in the EU. This has been prepared for a long time.
I wonder why so many of Europe's leaders are panicking and keeping on saying that they need America when in fact we have most of the military equipment in Europe and money to purchase elsewhere when needed.
Europe has no need to show weakness to either USA or Russia.
