Hungary’s Viktor Orbán plays spoilsport on NATO accession for Finland, Sweden

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...

The warmongering globalist scum can’t let NATO die or they might not get their nuclear holocaust fantasy.

P.S. Why are these Sorosbots STILL on FR ?

NATO needs to be shut down in the name of international peace and safety.

Right, its NATO that is the threat to peace not Putin who violated international law and broke several treaties when he invaded independent Ukraine for territorial gain.

LOL, sure Finland now is desperate to join NATO because it wants to be part of some "warmongering" organization like NATO, OR they realized their agreements on respect of borders with Russia isn't worth the paper they are written on.

STOP! We are sick of protecting Europe with our tax dollars and our military personnel. They do not pay their fair share. Therefore, I say NO MORE! They can protect themselves. We need to shore up our own military.

Exactly right. NATO is just a protection racket where the American citizens pays for all the freeloaders in Europe. It’s long past time for those EuroTrash to pay for THEIR OWN defense!

Why didn’t Sweden and Finland join NATO years ago, in times of peace? They are military welfare leaches.

like most Europeans, they were conned into thinking Russia was a normal country that could get along with its neighbors

but Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine has finally woken Europeans up, and made them realize what an idiotic assumption that was

"Right, its NATO that is the threat to peace"

100%. There is no reason for NATO to have existed beyond the fall of the Soviet Union 32 years ago. Sadly, a lot of delusional lunatics still think we're fighting the last war.

More globalist talking points. Sorry, don’t want your war. When are you going to leave to fight, by the way ? Not a single one of you has yet to volunteer to fight for George Soros’s puppet regime. Why is that ?

I’d rather put our military on our own border and mind our own effing affairs for a change. Too bad you support the Brandon regime and spew its talking points.

Remember the poll I conducted ? Well over 90% of FReepers agreed that we don’t want your damnable war for George Soros. Go pound sand, hoser.

Finland spent 2.03% of its GDP in 2021 on its military.

Trump says NATO countries must pay 2 percent of GDP immediately

That didn't work out so well last time, and the Defense Department will never do it again.

Sorry, don’t want your war.

Right and the only guarantee against an invasion by Putin is NATO membership.
