What’s in a name? These days...not much.
The European Union does not include Ukraine; nevertheless and notwithstanding the objections of E.U. members Hungary and Slovakia, the European supra-state insists on paying the salaries of Ukraine’s government bureaucracy while that nation’s martial-law-holdover-president, Volodymyr Zelensky, fights to maintain control over a breakaway region that has rejected Ukrainian rule since the 2014 coup d'état of Ukraine’s then-president, Viktor Yanukovych.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization does not include Ukraine; nevertheless and notwithstanding the objections of NATO members Hungary and Slovakia, the American-led military alliance insists on sending money and weapons to the Kyiv regime warring with the Russian Federation over territories whose people overwhelmingly identify as Russian. Former Dutch prime minister and current secretary general of NATO, Mark Rutte, has stated on multiple occasions that the military alliance would continue to help defend non-NATO-member Ukraine. According to Ukraine’s newly appointed, thirty-something-year-old defense minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine has over two million draft dodgers and a quarter of a million active-duty troops who have gone AWOL. So NATO is protecting a non-NATO country whose men refuse to fight. NATO is assisting a Kyiv dictatorship that depends almost entirely upon conscription (including the violent “busification” of “recruits” after draft officers break into vehicles and homes with drawn weapons).
While the E.U. and NATO fight Russian authoritarianism by protecting Ukrainian authoritarianism, both institutions have remained relatively quiet as member states sustain actual attacks. Seven months after Russia moved to annex the Russophone regions of Ukraine, the Nord Stream pipelines transporting natural gas from Russia to Germany were sabotaged and made inoperable. German, Dutch, and French energy companies own interests in the pipelines. Subsequent German investigations have identified a dozen Ukrainian suspects, including members of a Kyiv diving school where military personnel train.

Did the Biden administration provide assistance in destroying the Nord Stream pipeline?
Western Europe, being muslim now, loves Turkey, too. Countries that don’t submit to islam like Hungary are bad.
60% of the people of Donbas identify as Ukrainian, only 40% as Russian. In Kherson and Zaporizhzhia 80% and 70% of the population identifies as Ukrainian. The author is just repeating Russian propaganda.
Didn’t Hungary voluntarily join the EU, and difn’t their leader say they would never leave the EU and they loved it?
Just Western Europe? Putin is replacing his population with Muslims.
Wait, so there are Freepers who want the Spanish-speaking majority areas of the U.S. to become part of Mexico?
“””””Western Europe, being muslim now”””””
Isn’t Russia the most Muslim at about 15% as they and their allies of North Korea and the Muslim Republic of Chechnya try to conquer a nation with only 1% Muslims?
Yeah, so what? Anybody who lets them in deserves what they get. Hungary is the only good Euro country now. Or at least for now.
It seems relevant since they alongside Muslim troops and having introduced the North Korean Army into the war are currently invading another European country with close to zero Muslims, to conquer them, and the bloodiest European war since WWII is being fought to fight off their invasion.
Don’t care what they do to themselves. Just leave Hungary alone.
Following the First World War, Hungary underwent a period of profound political upheaval, beginning with the Aster Revolution in 1918, which brought the social-democratic Mihály Károlyi to power as prime minister. The Hungarian Royal Honvéd army still had more than 1,400,000 soldiers when Károlyi was installed. Károlyi yielded to U.S. President Woodrow Wilson's demand for pacifism by ordering the disarmament of the Hungarian army. Disarmament meant that Hungary was to remain without a national defence at a time of particular vulnerability. During the rule of Károlyi's pacifist cabinet, Hungary lost control over approximately 75% of its pre-war territories (325,411 square kilometres (125,642 sq mi) without a fight and was subject to foreign occupation. The Little Entente, sensing an opportunity, invaded the country from three sides—Romania invaded Transylvania, Czechoslovakia annexed Upper Hungary (today's Slovakia), and a joint Serb-French coalition annexed Vojvodina and other southern regions. In March 1919, communists led by Béla Kun ousted the Károlyi government and proclaimed the Hungarian Soviet Republic (Tanácsköztársaság), followed by a thorough Red Terror campaign. Despite some successes on the Czechoslovak front, Kun's forces were ultimately unable to resist the Romanian invasion; by August 1919, Romanian troops occupied Budapest and ousted Kun.
On 4 June 1920, the Treaty of Trianon established new borders for Hungary. The country lost 71% of its territory and 66% of its pre-war population, as well as many sources of raw materials and its sole port at Fiume. An estimated 3.3 million ethnic Hungarians were living in the ceded territories, mostly in what is now Romania, Slovakia and Serbia, although modern sources for this figure range from 2 million to 5 million. Though the revision of the treaty quickly rose to the top of the national political agenda, the Horthy government was not willing to resort to military intervention to do so.
Like Putin, he started his political life as a "liberal" reformer, but like Putin has turned into a corrupt autocrat who also happens to be on Putin's payroll. That's why the oil through Ukraine is such a big deal: Hungary could get oil from a Croatian pipeline but it won't be the Russian oil from which he (and Fico) are getting kickbacks.
There are lots of other European politicians on Putin's payroll as well, especially Germany's SPD, so this is hardly surprising.
Orban the Prime Minister of Hungary supports Russia. The Foreign Minister of Hungary has been a spy for Putin in the EU meetings. The EU and NATO both know that if Russia takes over Ukraine that Russia Weill attack them next. And the writer does not want the EU and NATO to help Ukraine to defeat Putin?
Zelensky was elected in 2019 and had nothing to do with ousting the Putin puppet in Ukraine. How say y’all? You want Russia to take over Europe??
Hungary is out of step with the EU elites in many ways; rather than submitting to Muslim replacement it and a few other central European states have tried to defend their people and culture, with the predictable character assassination/propaganda efforts and smears of them as “racist” for not submitting to a slow motion genocide.
