A Hungarian delegation is going to visit Stockholm and Helsinki this month to discuss their NATO applications. Has Hungary overtaken Turkey as the biggest obstacle to NATO’s Nordic expansion? What does Orban actually want and will he get it?

    CORRECTION: At 0:30, we say 'Sweden and Norway' when we clearly mean 'Sweden and Finland'. Apologies (especially to our Nordic viewers) – this is a sloppy mistake that we shouldn't be making, and we hope you nonetheless find the video informative.

    Kick Hungary out of Nato and EU . Hungary get money from Russia and try to block NATO and EU to expand.

    The European Union is one of the most corrupt organizations in the world. Its leader, who was not elected by anyone, was presumably under suspicion in the Pfizer vaccine procurement case even before his inauguration. What he continued to do, in fact, he almost encouraged the entire Union to do so, due to the impunity of the representatives involved in the corruption case that came to light later. He even reinstated a representative from the police force in the Union's representative body so that he could also vote on corruption laws. What did the E.U. against corruption? – nothing. The only thing he cleverly created was the many sanctions with which he destroyed Europe and continues his harmful work even further. He has no idea about geopolitics, he is harmful, ignorant, dangerous to himself and the public. He does not consider the interests of Europe to be his priority, but has become the leader of the USA, which is probably the most corrupt. Who is now being investigated for millions of dollars in corruption. What do they expect from Hungary? like a brainless person, he just votes for all the idiotic ideas – and doesn't think, but just barks at everything with the pack. The corrupt E.U. it is already easy for representatives. What was the plan? – To replace Putin, to destroy and plunder Russia. A noble goal worthy of NATO membership and Europe. After all, millions of people have already been killed for this very purpose.

    So Hungary is now trying to blackmail eu because they didn't get free funds for being undemocratic? EU shouldn't back down towards these annoying countries.

    Incredible! Now that Turkey has agreed Sweden to join, all fokus has shifted to Hungary. Orban's decision to blackmail all other Western countries is the one thing I associate most with Hungary. I don't want to be offensive but Hungary should clearly not be in a position to reject Swedens NATO application. I'm not sure if the Hungarians know to how much bad reputation this will lead.

    Hungary speaks of a consistent and principled security solidarity. It is extremely natural that he expects this principled and consistent attitude from the countries that are NATO members or candidates…

    Threatening to "isolate" Hungary within NATO or attempting to do so would harm the NATO alliance, not Hungary.I think it would be good if those who speak with the mouth of Western hegemonism understood this as soon as possible..

    First of all, NATO must give confidence to the members of the alliance. It should strengthen trust and solidarity among the members.

    A NATO that has failed many exams cannot be said to be successful in this regard. It is not right to threaten Hungary with the colonialist mouth…

    People say that Turkey should be removed from NATO. And they only want that for a country with an army of 25,000 men. So I'm talking about Sweden. I think people need to know a little bit of politics to talk about certain topics. Turkey is an important ally for NATO. Not Sweden. Therefore, there is still no pressure on Türkiye. If you want to support Sweden, it doesn't have to join NATO. Your country can independently support Sweden.

    If Sweden joins NATO, Türkiye will have to send troops in wartime. However, in order to help Sweden, which supports terrorist organizations that cause the death of its own citizens, in a possible war, Sweden needs to withdraw this support first. What is the problem with this demand of Turkey? All of Europe mourned for months when the bomb exploded in Paris. But you don't say anything about Sweden supporting terrorists who detonated bombs in Turkey's capital. Is it because we don't have blonde hair and blue eyes?

    So little pathetic dictator Orjan wants to shut up any free democracy who criticizes him! I think Hungary should QUIT NATO. and join the Russian paradise Orjan cherishes SO MICH. we will not miss you Victor. bye bye.

    Personally as a Hungarian I support my goverment most of the time, yes we know they have corruption problems but the other parties are all want to sell out the country and are a bunch of libtards with no honor, and also I personally dont want to see a gay flag in every other street, Id like to keep the values what my ancestors fought for and thats it, we will stay based.

    Why would Hungary agree with the war mongering EU states. Russia is wining the war and let NATO sweat it. Hopefully NATO will disentegrate soon.

    Hungary and Turkey are thorns in EU and NATO's side. Orban clearly dismisses the bloody crushing of his country in 1956.

    Turkiye and Hungary are teaching NATO and EU a very important lesson in democracy. EU's and NATO's dictate and oppressions of lots of countries has to be put on trial, which is what Turkiyeand Hungary are doing. Support to them and their strategy to push back against the EU and NATO. See how EU and NATO are concerned now. They were blocking lots of countries so far, including my country, Macedonia. Now it's out turn to strike back with the help of Turkiye and Hungary

  32. @andrasgergely1051

    Sweden is a very Western country who has long time and strong Bonds to Us and Uk.This is a disaster for Nato.Perhaps its forgotten but Sweden has in history been a very big military nation.We are one old enemy of Russia. Therefore i belive Putin has called his friends in Hungary and Turkey.

  35. @Gsoda35

    February 16, 2024 at 5:30 pm

    relaxing the conditions may be a good idea since some of the demands are much less important than letting in new NATO members. got to prioritise things.
    hopefully we can get a greater relationship with Hungary soon.

    Hungary is criticizing Finland of turning back to them, because Finland didn't support their decision to forbid telling about gay and transsexual relations in schools. They say that we were begging and were not loyal when they finally ratified our Nato membership. This rotten country needs to be kicked out of EU and Nato. Membership of Nato is about security of the alliance and has certain criteria, and like Finland, Sweden fulfills them, unlike Hungary and Turkey. When will your dictator fan club understand that ratification process is not a Supermarket in which you can make demands with shopping list?
