      He did indeed. And now he is trying to pressure the Ukrainians into repairing the gas pipeline russia bombed (a second time, Ukraine already repaired the pipeline once during the war). Returning the money in exchange for continued floe of russian oil and gas to Hungary.

      I can’t verify the following, but it makes too much sense not to be true. Allegedly, the EU worked to provide oil and gas to Hungary at even lower prices than Russia is demanding. But because Hungary is the most corrupt country in thr EU, Orban’s benefactors would lose lucrative deals with the Russians, so Hungary stuck with importing oil and gas from Russia.

    He is absolutely desperate and its lovely to see. I hope we’ll eventually get to see him crashing out live on TV after our neighbors remove him and his filth from leadership.

    Hungary has constantly threatened Ukrainian families for 4 years.
    Orban should just fuck off, he is a disgrace to his country and EU, and just as bad as Putin and Trump. Good thing he is not as powerful too.
    He is also insanely incompetent, and has caused Hungary to have some of the worst economies in EU! While when they got in, Hungary had one of the best among the new members.

    Hungary export 75% of their total exports to other EU countries, and they choose to piss all over that relationship. Which is guaranteed to make other countries reluctant to invest in Hungary.

    Orban blames EU for everything, and want to cooperate more with Russia. This has harmed Hungary immensely, because Russia is not really about cooperation for mutual benefit, Russia is ONLY about benefiting Russia.
    Hungary was allowed into the EU, and then they choose to abandon cooperation with EU? It’s so moronic. 🙄

    Orbans constant attacks on Ukraine only serve to please Trump and Putin, and it harms Hungary immensely.
    I seriously hope the Hungarian population isn’t buying his cool aid anymore.

      He can’t just fuck off and he’s not incompetent, he’s a thief. Him and his buddies have stollen so much of Hungary’s money and resources that if they’re taken out of power there’s a considerable of chance of people having to go to jail.

      That’s why we’re seeing all these kinda desperate acts. He’s trying to cling to power through any means.
      It’s gonna be a rough month for Hungarians, but I hope they can pull it off.

    Poor guy, maybe someone could offer him protective custody on some uninhabited island in the pacific and make sure he won’t ever step foot on dangerous hungarian soil again.
