These articles are so superficial. None explain why Hungary opposes Ukraine’s membership in the EU. Or they claim its because Orban is Putin’s stooge (sound familiar?). If Orban opposes Ukraine using the EU as a Trojan Horse to become part of the EU mutual security arrangements, then he is right to oppose it. Ukraine can join the EU without any security guarantees.
Orban is on track to losing the election next year so he has to continue to cosplay strongman until he loses.

It worked in the musical. Why wouldn't the "system" work now? That's their think system. Reality isn't nearly as entertaining....
Speculation. All is speculation
