All Sides ^ | August 27,2023

Posted on 08/27/2023 1:59:50 PM PDT by Hojczyk

The Hungarian government is stepping forward to help the families in Hawaii after the devastating and deadly Maui wildfires claimed more than 100 lives and leveled the homes and businesses in the Lahaina community.

Hungary is pledging to provide pop-up homes for 250 families by the end of October, with the first shipment of 20 delivered by the Hungarian Armed Forces by Monday, Hungarian Ambassador to the U.S. Szabolcs Takács, based in Washington, D.C., announced in statement to Newsmax.

Refugees have demands.
Does the free housing include Fire TV Stick 4K Ultra HD streaming devices with Alexa Voice Remote and Dolby Vision creating a true cinematic home theater?

Lounge chairs?

Does the AC have the Wi-Fi Inverter Smart Split system with air purification filter and the additional AI mode for enhanced cooling?

Windows with remote.

Adjustable bed.

Hungry's Viktor Orbán has been doing his best to prolong the war, and he is not well supported by his people who remember Russia's invasion in 1956

In response, I wonder if Biden will make up some story about how he helped manufacture army tents during WW II.

I don’t put it them past them. ...Or they could deflect the shipment to go into the toyboxes of favored elites and Party members (so they can go “glamping” with them somewhere) while sending some “in-kind” FEMA trailers to Maui in their stead.

Sounds like something Hungary would do.
Good on them!

Because Hungary is our ally and understands the meaning of the word…..
…and understands what we’re up against with the present administration

May God bless Hungary for this.

Putting the amoral marxist kleptocrats in DC to shame.

IF the execrable bastards had any shame, which seems doubtful.

They must think their only job is to make sure they get re-elected.

Murdering their fellow Hawaiians seems to be pretty high up on their list as well.

If so, Orbán is not doing it on purpose. If this war spins out of control, it will affect Hungary, and not in a good way. Orbán is doing a balancing act here, doing what he thinks is best for Hungary. This seems to have upset the EU and a lot of other folks.

As a side note, Orbán’s Fidesz party is still popular in Hungary, although not as much as before. Is the decline due to Orbán’s policies, or is it due to general voter fatigue?

Wonderful gesture from Hungary. Hawaii will probably turn them down because they are not recyclable and were not made from recycled plastic.

The US response is a joke. It is clear the government wants this sort of thing to happen.

Time to really assess risks of your current location. You really need a plan because Uncle Sam isn’t going to help you. They are more likely to make it tough on you.

...because our own cities are full housing all the illegal aliens that Biden allowed to enter through the now-welded-open border?

He’s roundly hated by a large number of Hungarians for his anti-Ukraine pro-Russia stance. if that means anything.

Yes he is doing it deliberately - there is no other logical explanation.

Russia would love nothing more that to run Hungry again, which could explain Orban hedging his bets, just in case Russia somehow finds the resources to take all of Ukraine - a very very unlikely outcome.

https://www.minnpost.com/mnopedia/2020/03/in-1894-fire-destroyed-hinckley-killing-hundreds/

Many communities provided immediate relief and shelter for the survivors, including Pine City, Mora, Duluth, and Superior. On September 3, a state fire relief commission was appointed to manage the recovery. Contributions were received from around the world, including 500 pairs of shoes from the Montgomery Ward Company.


There was much international relief for this 1894 fire. If I remember correctly from visiting the museum there was a contribution from the shaw of Iran.

“The domestic disaster response/relief has been beyond disgraceful. Locals are completely overwhelmed by the magnitude of this disaster. It’s like an atom bomb went off over Lahaina.”

And you can count on the same “level of aid” from the OBiden regime when any other disaster befalls Americans. Legal Americans, that is. Count on lots of aid to the illegals, however. Nothing is too good for future non-American Democrat voters, dontcha know.

All four of my grandparents were born in Hungary. I speak the language, poorly. And I’m old enough to know exiles from the 1956 Revolution. One of them is still a good friend of mine.

So I have more than a passing interest in this matter. I could be wrong, but here’s how I see it.

Russia is the aggressor in this war. Yes, NATO stupidity provoked Russia in the past. But it was Russian tanks that crossed a sovereign border. Russia is the aggressor.

Now here’s where Hungary fits in. Hungary gets most of its natural gas from Russia. Orbán could roundly denounce Russia, and rely on the EU’s stupid green policy for energy instead. Or he could play it cool, and keep the cheap Russian gas flowing.

Orbán chose the latter option. That certainly upsets the EU. But I think it’s right for Hungary.
