Hungary’s reputation as the troublemaker of Europe will be burnished on Wednesday as its parliament begins debating a contentious issue: whether to give Finland and Sweden the green light to join NATO.
Along with Turkey, Hungary has yet to ratify the applications of Finland and Sweden to join the transatlantic defense alliance more than eight months after NATO leaders signed off on their membership bid at a summit in Madrid.
Máté Kocsis, head of Orbán’s nationalist Fidesz party caucus in parliament, said last week that a “serious debate” had now emerged over the accession of the two countries. Hungary now plans to send a delegation to Sweden and Finland to examine “political disputes” that have arisen.
Orbán himself echoed such views...

Halt NATO expansion, or Hungary gets removed from NATO. A win-win.

We just sent Samantha Powers there to start the color revolution against him. We sent him a homo ambassador who is lecturing him.
Orban is probably in a mood to do any favors for his tormentors.

Orban is clearly withholding consent to Sweden and Finland joining NATO as a bargaining chip to gain freedom from EU bullying for his people to run their democracy the way they see fit. Bravo!

What “expansion” — Finland and Sweden, like the other countries, requested to join NATO.
This wasn’t like the Russian “alliances” where Russia forced other countries into a pact.
Countries can freely join OR leave NATO (remember France did that under De Gaulle).
Hungary can leave NATO if it wishes

NATO needs to be shut down in the name of international peace and safety. Russia only attacks its neighbors that are NOT part of NATO - that is why it attacked Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine in 2014 and keeps Central Asian states in line but it doesn't dare to even threaten Estonia or Latvia
If Russia was not a bully there would be no need for a NATO

NATO needs to be shut down in the name of international peace and safety. Pro-Kremlin appeaseniks like you are the very ones who would collaborate with the Russians and/or Chinese if they ever invaded the U.S., just like in Red Dawn.
