Hungary backs down from veto threat and allows renewal of EU sanctions on Russia

Well, it looks like BFR got axed from this thread. It seems unfair though that a regular in this thread can be taken out by someone that hardly ever comes in here. And please realize that this trolling behavior will get stronger if certain people are given the ability to talk so much smack all the time so it's gonna get worse. How many people has this person gotten banned? Curious.

Thing is, USA isn't very important as trade partner for Hungary. The EU countries are who could destroy Hungary financially. So why would Orban listen to Trump while giving a shit about what Hungary's most important partners say? He doesn't care about EU countries which which his country has like 70% of the trade with  but he "fears" about the country Hungary has like 3-4% of their trade with? And all of that a few days after Musk openly told Orban to overthrow the EU? 

So I guess it's not about Orban fearing Trump, it's about Orban betting on Trump/Musk helping him to change the EU even if in this case, it is a decision the EU wants.

Alright, well i'll take your word for it.  But i'm seeing about as much positive things from Trump as negative and I was a lot more pessimistic about his incoming presidency.

How do you know he got axed? Usually an admin writes that somewhere in the thread.

I agree he shouldn't be axed if there is differences of opinions.

He was prohibited from posting in this thread, according to a PM sent by BFR himself.  While not a complete ban, it is going to reduce the number of people that post in this thread.  It's just going to be mostly Ryuu and me, not very fun huh?

The problem is that Rol talks a lot of shit, and hardly ever posts in here.  So, he likes to stir people up for whatever reason and has gotten many people banned in the process.  I just haven't kept track of it all.
