Hungary should stand on their principles and quit the EU. Simple as that.
I’m hungary
Fiddle dee dee
Slovakia is likely to side with Hungary on blocking EU accession talks.
Might be time to disband NATO then. This is the kind of “entangling alliance” the US doesn’t need.
Some "talks" regarding NATO and regarding the EU have drawn out to many, many years.
This hot mess hasn't got that long to run, if attrition of manpower is considered, and so the wiggle words and sternly worded letters strategy is intended to appear as something it likely is not.
Consider: After 9/1 Bush II put together a "coalition of the willing" to gather and actually invade Iraq and Afghanistan. So where are the Europeans ready to actually invade and fight alongside the Ukrainians on Ukrainian soil? Yup. Different game afoot. Let's see the French and Germans and Italians all mobilize their militaries under a joint command, embed some real journalists and go. No? Yes? -- Actually, the stance is "someday" and "maybe."
Russia is about 145 million, while the EU alone is about 450 million. Tick tock. (Waiting for Uncle Joe to did it for them....)
In the interim, "formally invited to begin...." might / could be. But then again....
