I thought that this was hilarious with Orban, how his fat piglike face is so upset over that gas deal falling through. I guess he wanted the cheap gas that Russia gives the bootlickers. 



Ukraine destroyed another radar system, and this is a really good thing since there are so few available for Russia

Orban wants money, and lots of it.

Hungary is currently running a 7% yearly deficit and is running out of funds, funds which Orban uses for prestige projects and things that would swing votes in his favour. But without money he can't do those tactics anymore, and has to resort to increasingly desperate measures to find the money needed to influence the public opinion in his favour.

I beleive it.  I was speaking with a hungarian elsewhere and supposedly Orban isn't very popular.  However, his reelection or outer won't be until late next year, right? 



A car carrying a russian sattelite unit's commander was blown up in Moscow.  Edit:  unfortunately he wasn't a general or a colonel, but a major.  Still a good win.

Top Russian economist fell out of window. I guess they need cope cages to keep people from accidently falling out?
