Am I being mean by pointing out that Russia has done this kind of thing before again??

Eduard Hellvig, currently a conservative MEP who has been chosen by President Klaus Iohannis to be the next chief of the Romanian foreign intelligence service, has published an article in which he warns of the “threat for the EU” from the rapprochement of Hungary with Moscow.
In an article published in his blog and republished by Hotnews, Hellvig, who is a politician from Romania’s German minority, writes that Romania and the EU face an unprecedented case—“the blatant prejudice against liberal democratic values by the regime of Victor Orbán”, the Hungarian Prime Minister.
“Hungary tends to be a threat to European architecture, a Trojan horse increasingly under the influence of Moscow,” Hellvig writes.
He continues: “The Russian-Hungarian partnership is not only threatening the Romanian-Hungarian strategic partnership, which becomes more and emptier due to the nationalist hostility of Budapest, but also NATO and EU interests in the area. Therefore, I believe that Romania, caught in the clamp of this poisoned Russian-Hungarian Entente, should take the leading role in defending democratic values and allied interests in the region.” …

many years ago when i was an old man, my young mother taught me to drive. But one day, while breastfeeding on her, the gear shifted and we hit a small blade of grass. The blade fell over and hit a small elephant which died instantly. Later that morning before the cock crowed, i laid down in my pillow for the night. The moon shone darkly upon my little dead elephant. Oh how i miss how he use to stand at attention at her presence at the doorway.
Much like the paragraph above, the threat from russia and hungary is quite twisted and revealing - if read with a tilt towards its hidden context and by reversing the imagery to the opposite poles. But only when reflecting the color of the blue turban he is preparing and which will soon sit upon the evil one’s head in jerusalem.

hmmmm......
... where he honored and laid a wreath for the Soviet troops sent to oppress Hungary in 1956
ah, the memories of Soviet oppression still reverberates in his heart.... his kind of patriotism
The more people that learn from history, the better.
First point, after world war one parts of Hungary were ripped away and given to Romania, so I guess you might say that Romania is a threat to the EU. Second point, It seems to me that all threats from that part of Europe started in Austria.
I agree.
SO, you believe that Russia and the Soviet Union has never been a threat to Europe?
Well, I’m not proud to admit that went over my head.
Not a coincidence at all. Everything Putin touches turns to crap, and the country a cesspit.
The “blue turban” reference seems to indicate a Nostradamus end-time prophecy about a world-ruling dictator/absolute monarch.
I have traveled through Romania. The Hungarians set themselves apart and the Romanians feel hostility from them.
On a lighter note, it was Christmas time when I was there, and the street corner a Santa Claus wore a GREEN and white Santa suit ( the colors of the Hungarian flag) and instead of saying “ho, ho, ho. “ he said “He, he, he.”
Well yeah, there's a little animosity from having their country ripped apart, and anyway Romanians are Gypsies ; )
Really? You’re gonna try that as a response? I would think Hungary has more fear from Russia being a threat considering their past history. And truthfully, I think there is way more to fear from Islam and our own president than Russia right now.
The article detailed certain events which took place during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution from the first hand perspective of a Russian Security Police Captain.
Not sure if this 58 year old article is of any interest to FR readers, however, given the situation in the Ukraine, it may provide some interesting historic details.
Source is a NY Paper: The Sunday News, December 9, 1956, Page 112
It is titled "I Herded Hungarians"
"In the weeks since the Russians crushed the rebellion in Hungary, reports of mass deportations of Hungarian patriots persist in spite of Soviet denials. From a source which THE NEWS considers reliable comes a firs-hand account of how the Red terror operates when its authority is challenged. Anatoli Privalkin, who was a captain in the Soviet security forces, was assigned to the first prison train of deportees sent from Hungary to Russia. Sickened by what he saw, Privalkin defected on a subsequent assignment to Sofia, Bulgaria and fled to Yugoslavia. His eyewitness story follows. "
