Says Putin

Perhaps a political scapegoat would come in handy about now?

'His new political rival Peter Magyar on Wednesday called for early legislative elections, with several opinion polls showing his party in the lead. The vote is currently scheduled for the spring of 2026.'

I know someone who works for Magyar. He’s in with a good shot *if* Orban doesn’t steal the election with Putin’s help.

Let's hope so.

well, apparently there are people in authority who aren't as feckless & toothless as @schumer.senate.gov who I would personally primary if you could primary senate minority leaders

Neville Chamberlain had more backbone in his pants than Schumer has in his whole body & he folded like an origami swan

Dear me, Orban really is a slimeball...

welshborat.bsky.social•34 days ago

And an irrelevant one at that.

🤣

Maybe someone as loudmouthed and detestable as Orban will do us a favour - alert the sleeping masses to the threat from the far right oligarchy.

Occupy Brussels? Good grief, these big talkers, braying to the moon. Gotta stay vigilant nonetheless...

darksatanicmills.bsky.social•34 days ago

I *assume* that's a translation issue 🙂

outbeyond.bsky.social•34 days ago

Maybe for Orban. 😎

We really are in a dystopian universe!
What next for the" Deranged One?"

Does he want the US or Russia to occupy Europe?
Oh, I got an idea, how about getting back to the post war era. Let's rebuild the Berlin wall and split Europe again.

Meloni's actions will be interesting. She may think it's time to be more disruptive now Trump is in. And France and Germany are likely to be impotent as internal politics become more uncertain. So a very tricky environment.

jonty24.bsky.social•34 days ago

And in terms of electorates, I don't think it's unrealistic to say that 35 to 40% of people are ok with the idea of Europe moving extreme right. And more people within that group are likely to play dirty or take direct action to support that shift. Potentially pretty grim.

jonty24.bsky.social•34 days ago

2025 will be extremely important in setting the direction of Europe with Trump in power. Orban will become a bigger disrupter, I'm sure. But can he please both Trump and Putin at the same time. And China has an interest too.

jonty24.bsky.social•34 days ago

Seems like Austria is going extreme right, so may ally with Orban. Slovakia and Checia are likely to be more hostile to EU priorities. Romania likely to be more difficult.

Time to kick Hungary out of the EU

glostermeteor.bsky.social•34 days ago

Nah. Time for the EU to chuck Hungary out and feed them to the Russians
