Hungary and Russia struck 12-point plan for closer ties, documents show
MicroWaveThe cooperation agreement sheds more light on Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s ties to the Kremlin ahead of Sunday’s general election.
More evidence is emerging of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s attempts to turn eastward and plug Hungary economically and politically into Russia — something his opponent is using against him in the run-up to Sunday’s election.
The Hungarian government signed an agreement with Russia to expand the two countries’ economic, trade, energy and cultural ties, according to documents drawn up by the Russian government and obtained by POLITICO. They starkly underscore how close Budapest and Moscow hope to become.

Orban is absolutely out of his mind insane. And I really really hope the Hungarian population realize that on Sunday.
I think if Orban wins,we need to figure out a way to throw out Hungary from EU. We cannot tolerate EU being hijacked by Russia.
trollercoasterHe isn’t insane, he is just very greedy. Putin pays him, and meanwhile he is blackmailing the EU to continue funding shit in Hungary so he can steal the money.
No he is not blackmailing EU to support Hungary more, EU has actually halted a lot of aid that Hungary should have had, but they have defaulted on by not following EU regulation.
We cannot tolerate EU being hijacked by Russia.

Can we be sure that the EU has not already been hijacked?
What insanity is this?
Which insanity do you mean?
That it happened? That we don’t remember it? That we don’t analyse our situation? That I have mentioned it? Something else?
You mentioning it.
What does it have to do with Russian influence within the EU?
It means that the story is more complex. If we cared about foreign influence we would know to which extend there still is American influence. Without asking that question we can’t judge if Orban’s relation to Russia is out of the ordinary.
We also don’t know if our judgement of Russia is rooted in manipulation. America has a motive to split us from Russia.
But in the meantime, it is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges, capable of dominating Eurasia and thus also of challenging America.
CyberEggFuck off, tankie. You know damn well that this community does not like american influence the same way it does not like russian influence. So take your dumb whataboutism and get out.
Still citing the book you haven’t read? Tell us again, what comes before the one sentence you always carefully select?
We also don’t know if our judgement of Russia is rooted in manipulation.
Well, at least my judgement of Russia is rooted in their own actions, atrocities and crimes they do since 4+ years in Ukraine. It is you trying to manipulate to whitewash them from it.
That what happened? That USA wanted cooperation back then? That’s a heck of a lot better than what they do today.
De Gaulle’s judgement was:
He saw West Germany (and the other member states of the European Economic Community) as vassalized by Washington.
It could be that it has been like today since the beginning of the EU. It was just never obvious. However statesmen like de Gaulle knew it.
France owed their freedom from the Nazis to USA and allies as much as the rest of Europe did. It is not a bad thing to have friends.
And yes Western Europe and USA have been very good friends for decades, that does nor mean European countries were vassals of USA.
But USA was by far the bigger economy, so they had and still have a lot of power, just like Germany was by far the biggest economy in the EEC, and had a lot of political power there because of it.
But the cooperation between the countries meant that all countries had a say, instead of things just being dictated by the strongest.
When USA threatened to invade Greenland it became very obvious that the European countries are from being vassals of USA, with several countries delivering military support to Denmark with actual troops to defend Greenland, and many more declaring their support, and EU declaring that EU would use the “bazooka” against USA if they invaded Greenland.
The Bazooka being by far the strongest measures ever used would be used against USA, for instance selling US bonds, which would absolutely upset the entire American economy.
This “Bazooka” is an anti coercion system EU developed to protect against China, but instead it turned out we needed it against USA. So EU was absolutely prepared against USA, that is the opposite of being a vassal state.
We can never be sure the EU isn’t being hijacked.
But we are sure Russia is trying their best to hijack us like the imperialist scum they are. So we are definitely going to hate on them. And anyone with ties to them can fuck off as well.
The history of China has shown that it was best to balance USSR and USA. Without Russia and China we are forced to be on the side of the US.
Good links for those who don’t want to read Politico, thanks.
A very constructive way to get people away from that site imho. Perhaps next time similar links will be in the Europe feed so I don’t happen to stumble into Axel Springer media again. ;-)
So, Vance went to Hungary to help Orban and establish closer ties. A ménage à trois?
A ménage à trois?
Vance is more into couches I have been told.
he just went there to say thank you
If someone visits me and fucks my couch, he better say thank you, too.
Riddick3001A ménage à trois?
Probably à quattre.
You’re forgetting the strong Chinese influence, police and money in Hungary. Its part of the Belt & Road Initiative.
Vance: awkwardly fucks couch
Putin, Orban, and Xi (very disappointedly): We thought we were having a foursome.

SharkAttakHey Hungary, it’s either in the EU or the URSS, can’t be both.
Fuck Politico, Axel Springer and Döpfner. Don’t share, don’t click.
