I'd trade Ukraine getting NATO membership if it means Hungary loses it.

[–] msprout@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can't we just combine Austria and Hungary again? Everybody loved that.

Well, except Bosnian Serbs I guess.

[–] Vikthor@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Austria isn't as blatant as Hungary but their policy is also pretty russia-friendly.

And there is a reason A-H collapsed and it wasn't just because of WW1 and Bosnian Serbs. Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Romanians or basically anybody who wasn't German or Hungarian hated the monarchy in the end(With the possible exception of the Croats, who reached some kind of agreement with Hungarians right before the collapse).

for a second I thought A-H stood for Adolf-Hitler lol those acronyms will one day be the death of me

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, at least we know that Ukrainians aren't fifth columnists.

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah, with their filthy newspapers.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 40 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'll celebrate the day when the people of Hungary do the right thing.

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Around May next year. Might not be the right thing we're both thinking of, but at least there will be elections in 2026.

Damn, I hate this man so much.

"There’s nobody that’s better, smarter or a better leader than Viktor Orbán. He’s fantastic. He's a noncontroversial figure because he said, ‘This is the way it’s going to be,’ and that’s the end of it, right? He’s the boss and … he’s a great leader, fantastic leader. In Europe and around the world, they respect him."

Donald Trump, predictably

Won’t someone rid us of this turbulent shitstain?

FTFH: Orbán: “Ukraine is not NATO member and I ~~intend~~ was commanded by Putin to keep it that way”

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Quote: "NATO has no business in Ukraine. Ukraine, just like Russia, isn't a NATO member, and my job is to make sure it stays that way."

He said it was "his job" but never mentioned who he works for

[–] Allemaniac@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

good thing our glorious german arms manufacturer Rheinmetall (creators of the Leopard tanks) built the world's most high-tech tank factory in fucking Hungary of all places. Putin will soon sport some sleak looking new MBT's in Ukraine thanks to us greedy Germans :)

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Of course he will keep it that way. He won't have the time to continue sucking off Putin if he has to think about NATO membership. Hungary needs to flush that miserable turd down the political toilet once and for all.

[–] msprout@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Homie looks like the heel of a foot. Putin sure knows how to pick the pretty ones.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

Toady looks like toad.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hungary should follow Slovakia’s proposal and leave NATO.

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

If the next year's elections fail and Orbán stays in power then we can start calling it Western Belarus from then on.

[–] Gudl@feddit.org 8 points 1 month ago

I hate this ugly fuck

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

We'll just have to see what Magyar thinks about it then.

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

While he's not as extreme as Órban, Magyar is also against helping Ukraine defend itself, and he's being at least ambivalent about letting join the EU and NATO after the war.

We might have a Hungary problem, not a Fidesz problem.
