Ukraine war: Sanctions on Russian oil and gas a 'red line' for Hungary, says Orban | Euronews

What a piece of shit Orban is, keep licking Putin's asshole.

E.U. proposes cutting funds to Hungary for rule-of-law breaches - The Washington Post

Do it.

I really don't get why Hungary are in the EU or Nato at this point. Joining the EU means signing up to its membership charter on things like human rights, judicial independence etc. Hungary breaks these rules, then complains when the EU sanctions it. I've seen brexiteers online cheering Hungary against the 'dictatorial; EU, appearing to miss the point as well.

And I get Ukraine isn't in Nato, but Hungary sitting on the sidelines whilst the rest of Nato is supporting Ukraine, and particularly saying they'll pay Putin in roubles for Russian gas seems like they've chosen to side with Putin.

I can't speak on the EU part, but as for NATO, while it originally started as a defense treaty mostly because of USSR/Russia, it is now days more about protecting ourselves from terrorists or China. It wasn't until Putin built troops up on the border that Russia was on our minds again. Hungary, I assume, wants to stay in NATO in case some terrorist (state backed or otherwise) attacks it, then they will have allies to fight back just like America did after 9/11.
