Trump blaming everything on Ukraine while he does almost nothing for them or even helps Putin with "hidden" help.

Isn't the admiral word a part of the name of the ship, or am I reading that wrong?

Oops, think you’re right about that 



Ukraine used a series of t-150 Malloy drones over a period of 2 months in order to destroy a Russian held bridge.

Looks like Orban has suffered a crushing defeat in the Hungarian election. Here’s hoping with him gone it enables the EU to support Ukraine more effectively.
Slovakia’s Fico could still be an issue though.

And after all the money and time Trump and Vance spent stumping for Orban. You know Trump threw his Happy Meal across the room when he got the news. They even tried to bribe the Hungarian electorate with promises of billions in American taxpayer money, the way they did with the Argentinians, to no avail. 

Hopefully, Peter Magyar will take a harder line with Trump, Putin, and Netanyahu.

Wonderful news! I came to post this and the people of Hungary finally have a better leader. I’m sure that Russia will merely pivot and just pay off another prime minister to be of assistance but for the Hungarians, today they have all won. 



It's also a relief Orban did concedes instead of taking a page from Trump's book. I don't know when the passation of power is set to occur though.

On Ukraine, Magyar sadly doesn't have a much different stance as Orban.

Though I expect him to abstain more than blocking votes, at least early on, as a token of good will.

And he certainly would want to get the 20 billions the EU withheld for rule of law concerns, so he literally can't afford alienating the EU now.
