The bottom line is that Hungary is America’s friend and ally.

Then why are Brussels and DC sanctioning and attacking Orban? why are they declaring his government is "non-democratic?" Why is the CIA-USAID there spending $300 million to aid "new media" and "democratic elements" there?

If they would only pay the 10% to The Big Guy, they could have their arms.

You are known by the enemies you make. The EU hates Hungary because Hungary will not open its borders to illegal invaders. DC hates Hungary because Hungary will not behave as a pro-gay vassal state.

So both the EU and DC find ways to smear Hungary.

But DC is not America! Hungary is America’s friend and ally. Not so much the Biden junta’s. Oh, and one more thing. Here’s a statue of Ronald Reagan in Budapest. Note the flowers someone put at the base.

“...when the big nation bullies the smaller ones.”

So us not selling arms to Hungary is ‘bullying’?

Then what do you think of Russia invading and annexing territory from Georgia, Ukraine, and Moldova?

If WW3 is now inevitable, the worst possible outcome may well be Washington’s victory.

For the past 30 years, China has gone around the world building bridges in Africa, building roads in South America, building schools in the Middle East, building factories in Asia, etc... They tell the people, “If you are on our side will will give you tools to make your people’s lives better.” They are certainly trying to spread their influence and gain control over the local populace but that is the method they have chosen.

Absolutely agree. Once China figured out (from the Clintons) that they can bribe public officials around the world to look the other way and to gain influence, they knew the path was clear for them to infiltrate every nation on Earth.

This is possible because we do not see China as "the bad guy" in the same way we saw the Soviet Union as the "bad guy".

Also, leftists changed from support of Soviet communism to Chinese communism. It was more profitable for them.

Considering the performance of Western weapons in Ukraine, Hungary may want to consider a new supplier.

But, why in hell are you supporting DeSantis, who flip-flopped on the proxy war in Ukraine and sided with the globalists and Republican establishment on the issue?

DeSantis is on Trump's side and calling for a quick peace in Ukraine. He is not supporting the globalists.

We are bullying Hungary into supporting Sweden’s entry into NATO.

Hungary should be free to choose if they support that or not.

The US is absolutely no different than the USSR in this matter while “pretending” to respect Hungary’s independence.

Hungary is Russia’s friend and ally, not just in word, but also in deed, by backing Russia’s invasion and annexation of Ukraine.

You are a filthy LIAR. Hungary has NEVER supported Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Hungary has been one of the NATO nations standing up against the warmongering by Biden and the endless supply of weapons. Hungary is on Trump's side and wants a negotiated peace.

Stop spreading leftwing LIES.

The bottom line: Within the boundaries of treaties, Viktor Orbán does what’s best for his country. He will not harm his own country just to make a point. He acts exactly like Trump did.

I am half-Hungarian and go there often. Most everyone hates the Russians and does not trust them. They were in a panic when this war started, fearing Russia would cross the Hungarian-Ukrainian border. The Hungarian military has been on full alert and training in case things escalate.

Hungary does look out for itself. It does not allow the EU or US to bully it. It is disgusting how some use leftwing talking points against a nation looking out for its own best interests.

The US is using its position as the reserve currency to punish nations that do not go along with the Russian sanctions.

That is why so many nations are now trading in their own currencies, instead of ours. They are sick and tired of being bullied into supporting stupid US foreign policy adventures through currency.

Absolutely. It is saying, we will not help a NATO ally defend its borders from Russia unless you agree to keep expanding NATO membership as the US wants it to expand.

NATO membership is via unanimous vote of NATO members.

This is bullying in the same way the USSR would restrict supplies to Eastern Bloc nations if they did not support Soviet foreign policy in places like the UN.
