Hungary’s Viktor Orbán plays spoilsport on NATO accession for Finland, Sweden
POLITICO ^ | February 28, 2023 | Suzanne Lynch

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...

Americans are starting to realize that NATO is a parasite and an ungrateful one at that.

There is no reason for NATO to have existed beyond the fall of the Soviet Union 32 years ago

what an idiotic statement ... hey dumbass, if Russia would just stop repeatedly attacking & invading its neighbors, there would be no need for NATO

100%. There is no reason for NATO to have existed beyond the fall of the Soviet Union 32 years ago

LOL, ask Finland why they are desperate to join NATO, an organization that according to you has "no reason to exist". Must be because of Soros. Moronic

Its still an expansion whether forced or not. I’m tired of us bankrupting the US to be the world’s policeman. Europe is very wealthy - if they want to pay us to protect them they are welcome to do so but until then they can pound sand.

Why do we put up with Canadians agitating that America goes to war? WTF business is it of yours? Just be glad that America isn’t constrained economically enough to quit trying to control the rest of the world forcing us to focus our tender “help” on Canada.

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

Less than impressive. The only reason Finland spends even that much is to try to get into NATO and, the moment they do, they'll quit paying for their military. Goddamn Eurotrash parasites.

It’s a shame you globalists are more concerned about the “sacred borders” of a foreign land than that of our own nation.

NATO is a threat to world peace. Long past due to be abolished along with the FBI, IRS and the Communist Demonrat party.

Same cowardly globalist chickenhawk. Send teenagers off to die while you sit behind your keyboard agitating for a nuclear war. Disgusting.

Why don’t you worry about your own Communist regime under Fidel Castro, Junior ?

It’s one of the small number of chickenhawk nuclear war cheerleading trolls on FR. It seems to want to control American foreign policy while ignoring the deranged fascist lunatic in Ottawa. Notice none of these pukes will ever volunteer to serve in combat while demanding we start WW3 over a civil war in a foreign country that is none of our business.

What part of “minding our own business” is so beyond your comprehension ? Why do you have a sex fetish for nuclear war to protect the globalist racket ? You’re a very sick puppy.

nobody wants nuclear war, stop your lying

and we wouldn’t even be talking about nuclear war if *Putin hadn’t illegally invaded Ukraine last year*

remember Putin? the one who started this war? the one person you NEVER criticize?

You and your gang of globalist trolls want nuclear war more badly than Plugs the Pedo wants to molest a 6-year old girl and smell her hair.
