Ukraine ping

Erik Latranyi: [You are a filthy LIAR. Hungary has NEVER supported Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Hungary has been one of the NATO nations standing up against the warmongering by Biden and the endless supply of weapons. Hungary is on Trump’s side and wants a negotiated peace.

Stop spreading leftwing LIES. ]

Hungary supports a ceasefire that would have Russia hanging on to its gains. That’s about as clear a case of supporting Russia’s invasion as anyone can get. If someone steals your car, you get into a fight with him, and some bystander urges that the fight be stopped with the car thief remaining in possession of your vehicle, most would take the guy’s interjection to mean he supports the car thief. The US is a “warmonger” over the invasion of Ukraine, in much the same way it was a “warmonger” in supplying Britain after Germany invaded Western Europe. Its “warmongering” is basically a meaningless epithet applied by supporters of the invader.

“Its ‘warmongering’ is basically a meaningless epithet applied by supporters of the invader.”

That’s a favorite word (i.e., “warmonger”) of Russians, and has been for many decades. For instance, during the Soviet days it was a common epithet applied to the West, and it was widely applied in Russian news articles and essays.

Perhaps it is a “tell” against anyone who uses it often here on FR.
