Hungary stripped of EU meeting over Ukraine stance

The European Union's foreign policy chief, Josep Borell, has stripped Hungary of the right to host the next meeting of foreign and defence ministers over its stance on the war in Ukraine. It comes weeks after Hungary assumed the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union, a role in which it would normally host the event, and amid anger over a meeting Prime Minister Viktor Orban held with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow earlier this month. Mr Borrell said Hungary's actions should have consequences and that "we have to send a signal, even if it is a symbolic signal". Hungary described the move as "completely childish".

NATO, the warmongering thugocracy. How dare Orban try to stop the killing and derail the NATO oligarchs’ gravy train.

How could Europeans have been so stupid as to let themselves be governed by such an unelected, dictatorial bunch?

E-what? Oh, Euro-peon UNION. I see.

It's like Democrats talking about "coming together," "consensus," "bipartisan" and other such pabulum.

It means, "Do what WE say or you're toast."

Of course, once these idiots let the Muzzies take over, that's exactly what it will be.

It started as a trade pact...but turned out to be a suicide pact. This is a good example of the evils of the EU.

Well the government first let in a bunch of immigrants and then people got scared and realized their guns were gone, their Bullys(bulldogs) who might protect them are being outlawed, and the government is the only one who can protect them.

The EU was wildly successful when it stuck to its basic tenet which was Free Trade within the EU and trade treaties with other nations outside the EU. It slowly morphed into a governing body governing all things and not just trade. That is what is destroying the EU.

The reason Britain left the EU is the EU’s intrusion into national issues and national policy. The Brits were quite happy with it as a trade organization. When the EU tried to manage the internal affairs of Britain the Brits said NO!

The key point here is not if Hungary is right or wrong in regards to the current Ukraine war.

The key point is that Hungary refuses to be treated as a mere province of the EU Reich. And for that sign of independence Hungary must be punished.

More proof that NATO, the EU and Biden regime wanted this war and will do anything possible to keep it going.

The western world is not about Democracy and fairness. It is now the New Soviet empire run by demons.

Sorry it has everything to do with the Ukraine war. THe rest is true, but it is not the main reason.

If there were no Ukraine war, Hungary would still be targeted by the EU. And that’s because Hungary refuses to take in millions of Muslim invaders. Instead, Hungary has built a very effective border fence.

This has greatly upset the EU globalists. And so they were calling for sanctions against Hungary even before the Ukraine war began.

But, yeah. Hungary’s stance regarding the war is what really set the EU into overdrive.

Orban longs for the old days under Soviet rule and can’t wait to become a Russian satellite again.

How dare Orban try and talk about peace. The EU has evolved into a dictatorship.

And Putin’s invasion of Ukraine proved that the Soviets never really went away. NATO reborn.
