    So probably means they won’t defend anyone else either then… worthwhile addition to NATO.

  2. Well time to show the german austrian friendship once more and recreate the old austrian hungarian empire and we dont even need to ask hungary 🙂

  3. Ukraine territory has not been lost (where Ukraine has been occupied it is far imo from being Russian and staying Russian) and Ukraine is certainly not destroyed.

    This is the same take Trump has (surprise surprise), trying to give the impression all is lost and only Kyiv remains. Total BS. By people who do know better so we can only conclude they have nefarious reasons to lie and back Russia.

    The number of deaths is a tragedy, but, you know, Russia could always quick murdering, raping and genociding 🤦‍♂️

    I imagine Russis is getting desperate because there’s no exit strategy they can take and save face.

  4. So thats why they want Ukraine to lose, they want to be part of Papa Putin’s country and Russia would be able to invade them next.

  5. So a way to deal with Orban is to invade Hungary, remove him from power, organize legit elections to replace him, then move out, understood.

  6. Ah … this would be the same Viktor Orban who Trump described as a “well respected, strongman” in a recent debate I take it?

  7. NATO should see this as a member being unwilling to commit to Article V. Give Hungary the fucking boot.

    NATO needs to clean house with some useless fucking nations in the group. I understand why NATO won’t boot them out – but it just looks weak.

  8. Imagine being proud of that.

    Anyway, are there any countries that currently have territorial claims on Hungarian land? Sounds like it’s up for grabs.

    It’s my opinion that he’s actually saying that Ukrainians have bigger balls than Hungarians 😉

  10. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.eurointegration.com.ua/eng/news/2024/09/26/7194990/) reduced by 68%. (I’m a bot)

    > Balázs Orbán, the political director and close adviser to the Hungarian prime minister, has caused a wave of outrage among Hungarians with his statement that Hungary would not have fought a defensive war in 1956 like Ukraine, as it would have been "Irresponsible".

    > Answering a journalist's question about what would have happened if the United States had helped Hungary in 1956, Balázs Orbán said that, in his opinion, it would have led to World War III. "We might have won, or we might not have won; the neighbouring countries might have been with us or they might have been against us," he said.

    > Critics took Balázs Orbán's statements as a hint that Hungary would not fight a defensive war in the event of an attack.

    He’s not fit to lead the country, Hungary has a proud history of hundreds of years of defending Europe from all comers.
