If Hungary wants to leave, let them. Perhaps the EU needs to consider a Hungrit.
@ArtemisShanks
May 30, 2024 at 12:54 pm
Most Hungarians I’ve met absolutely hate Russia, due to the not-so-recent Soviet occupation. It makes me wonder why they support a Putin-puppet running their country.

And then form the new Not-NATO without Hungary. And maybe Slovakia

@whitescar2
May 30, 2024 at 12:54 pm
Please. Hungary should leave the EU and NATO yesterday. It is best for Hungarians. After all, Orban has been clear he does not agree with any of their allies. So it is best they go their own way. What could go wrong?
@jontalbot1
May 30, 2024 at 12:54 pm
Dealing with Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia etc is mainly an issue for the EU since all of these countries are very happy to take EU money while actively seeking to undermine everything it stands for. EU states should really begin to not just confront hard power but exercise it. The alternative is the gradual spread of the sort of gangster state which exists in Russia.
@mirola73
May 30, 2024 at 12:54 pm
F off then, you're surrounded by NATO, what are you going to do ?
Leave the EU as well while you're at it, see what the population thinks about it………………….

He knows that Ukraine is loosing its second largest city now, after taking Kiev , Ukraine will fail! Next will be Baltic states Russia will cut them off without war and NATO will be silent no one will start a nuclear war as total population there is 6 million ! The war will be in Poland, Hungary, Finland and Slovakia. NATO could not save Ukraine, Georgia already openly announcing their pro Russian way as they learned that NATO is not a reliable partner, 0 assistance from NATO in 2008. NATO is a joke no real actions!
@carthaok3360
