    I went to Western Europe, and the thing is, most of Western Europe is not developed at all. Nowhere near as close as most of Central Europe, like Slovakia, or most of Hungary, or Croatia from what I've seen. But also, nowhere near as close as lots of asian nations. It's just not that developed. While lots of Westerners think, there is nothing in East Eu, and that's all. While W-Eu does leech a lot from E-Eu.

  2. @Kareszkoma

    February 16, 2024 at 12:28 am

    The EU good, all else is bad. They are not doing the "Opium Wars" all over again. Just look up what they did to the Hungarian sugar. Buying out, privatizing most of the Hungarian sugar producers, so the sugar would have to be bought from the West. How's that free market? It's exploitation.

  3. @Kareszkoma

    February 16, 2024 at 12:28 am

    The EU has been very very hardly exploiting Hungary. That's how it is. It's not all bad, but the push is harder and harder. Western companies are buying out more and more Hungarian big companies and producers, and also ruining the free market, lobbying heavily against it.
    From things like Szerecsen Chocolate, just a delicacy, till country-scale producing sugar and tin can factories. Look up what happened to the Hungarian sugar for example.

  4. @Kareszkoma

    February 16, 2024 at 12:28 am

    The EU is not great either. Since Hungary joined the EU, they have been ruining the market, wrecked our agriculture multiple times, Multies, Mega-Corps, and Monopolies are buying out our food production and replacing it with shady products at best, full of chemicals. Such as milk, dairy like yoghurts, yeast production, sugars, delicacies, things like chocolates, vegetables, canning companies and so on so forth. This is not okay. How is this an "economic alliance"? Big companies are constantly lobbying against free marketplaces, lowering wages, and making life harder.

    It's not all bad, but very far from great or good.

  5. @Kareszkoma

    February 16, 2024 at 12:28 am

    Let's talk about the EU, their hypocrisy, their "Opium Wars" and their exploitation. They paid Orban Victor so they can exploit Hungary and it's production. They did the same everywhere in Eastern Europe. They bought out most of the Hungarian Sugar, so it would be imported from the West, and of course kept those factories non-working purposefully. All the equipment standing by for decades. Same with Nuclear Energy, after expensive upgrades and they passed the Western Nuclear Safety Checks. Aka no Chernobyl. Same can be said for agriculture or the mass importance of Aluminium in Hungary.

    But this can be said the same for the rest of the world. The minerals, metals, alloys, imported, the chocolate or other luxury products. All from exploitation. The EU is a trade alliance, and it's wasting it's budget everywhere.

  6. @Kareszkoma

    February 16, 2024 at 12:28 am

    The EU is very hypocritical and very exploitive. It was the EU that paid countries like Russia, Putin, but also Mafias like Orban. Nobody checked in Hungary or in the EU where that money goes to. They also paid back lots of those grants to Merkel, that never got investigated because she is a politician. The EU is wasting it's budget left and right and it's doing much worse than it did 10 years ago. Just look at the inflation or the housing crisis. Than why EU? It's an economic alliance.

    They are exploiting Eastern Europe and other countries wherever they could. Aka buying out, privatizing socialist factories, like sugar producers, than force the country to buy sugar from the West. They did the same exact thing during the Opium Wars. Where is that mentioned? How they switch agriculture to that? Or what they did with the Nuclear Reactors, after they passed the Western Safety Checks? Where is that? When the West privatized out socialist factories, because East-Eu only had "bad production", they took the machinery that they still use today. Most of the West still don't have those kind of production. But that's the same everywhere. Same in Africa or the chocolate.

    The best would be to kick the sob Orban out of the EU and NATO and send him to Mar-A-Lago with his chum

    Hungary is not the enemy of the West, but the exact opposite. Hungary owes its greatest historical tragedy to the West. In 1920, the country was mutilated like no other country in the world. Millions of Hungarians in the annexed areas and in the neighboring countries still live in oppression, with curtailed rights. The fate of Hungary is a shame for the West. Those who are Orbán's partners are also partners of any other European country. Why should Orbán be accused of trying to establish good relations with all the countries of the world? Leave Hungary alone! Today it is the only country in Europe where normality reigns.

    If Hungary is dismissed by the union, it alone proves that the union is not working for the benefit of Europe, but wants to build a new, oppressive colonial empire, and its entire existence is based on a lie. This will be recognized by the other member states, and it may also mean the death of the Union.

    February 16, 2024 at 12:28 am

    Yes please, please kick em out of the EU. Or could we convince the Russians to leave the Ukraine and we'll give them Hungary?

  20. @robLV

    February 16, 2024 at 12:28 am

    Hungary should never have been admitted in the first place. They are closer in values to Russia and fit better in the Russian orbit. Not ready for the 21st century.

    Hungary need to kick out of NATO and EU. Hungary get money from Russia then work for Russia to block Ukain, finland, and suisse to enter NATO and EU.

  29. @jutswheezie

    February 16, 2024 at 12:28 am

    The EU cannot kick any member state out!! There is only an article for an individual country to trigger article 50 and leave on their own account. There is a lot of reforming necessary at the EU so that one state which has left the path of democracy cannot hold all 26 other member states hostage. I personally would vote for Hungary to be kicked out!!

  30. @aronnemcsik

    February 16, 2024 at 12:28 am

    I may be wrong but I seems to recall that the EU said Hungary to let all the migrants through without background checks or registering said migrants the first time when they arrived. Which I think is against EU law as well.

    Again I might be wrong

  31. @georget7028

    Twisted sister.

  32. @SkyHighMelody

    Orban is a threat to the whole of EU. He needs to be scilenced by gun-boat politics.

  33. @valentinrouge9371

    February 16, 2024 at 12:28 am

    Hungary is right… EU is a deadly joke.

  34. @Azmin-em4zu

    February 16, 2024 at 12:28 am

    It's time the country leaves. If that happens the economy will collapse at an alarming rate and the government takes the blame and is threatened with violence and is dismantled.

  35. @mariamariasharp8563

    Bravo Hungary!
    Keep going strong.
    Ursula should visit Hamas or Iran, they would disciplin her in no time😂😂😂

    February 16, 2024 at 12:28 am

    02:37 We are NOT troublemakers, we just lived under communism, and we know how it was.. They told us how to vote, (even in Berlin); When Hungary and Polland joined, it was an Economic Alliance! We signed that part!
    Angela Merkel invited them from Germany "wir schaffen das"! She was speaking on her own country!
    Did she consult with other EU member states?! No
    So, Where is the problem when Hungary, according to the Schengen Law, doesn't let people in without proper documents?!

    And The other one: Hungary and Polland (and some other countries) Accepted EU loans to refill economy.. Neither Hungary, nor Polland nor some other EU members got that loan, tho, we have to pay it!
    Tell me! In which Democracy, You pay for a loan, that you have never got?!????
    You can tell me, that is becouse article 7, but a loan is not working like that! Either I got it and I pay it, or not got it and I dont pay it… But actually we pay it and never got it! (In which Democracy is working like that? The German? France? Canadian? Dutch? English? Switzerland?!
    Last time the Soviet Union used such loan, the loan never arrived to Hungary, but Hungary still pays it..

  37. @vonhier988

    February 16, 2024 at 12:28 am

    Absolutely! Poland as well. Let join them putin and c how they like it. Fight putin with putin weapons. There is no chance to get him being rational. He is mentally sick as hitler was. You cant argue with a crazy person.

  38. @DanielMirk

    February 16, 2024 at 12:28 am

    The EU should pay Hungary those millions of Euros what they are holding back since a few years. They gave billions of Euros to the fascist ukranian regime where minorities dont have any rights and they are abused verbally and phisically.
    Also ask the big multi companies if they want to loose the Hungarian market what they gained in 2004. Money talks.

  39. @senkialfonz895

    Hungary, Poland and Czech should simply leave the parasitic corrupt dictatorship

    Visit the country and see for yourself instead of spreading propaganda
