Hungary has bet on Russia to win.
Whenever it looks like Russia might not win, Orban and his little friend interjects.

In case anyone is wondering whether Orban is still an asshole, he is.
Apparently he's flying to Moscow on Friday. I'm guessing he's getting new instructions from his boss because of how badly their previous plan went.
I wouldn't be surprised if Fico suddenly appears too.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

"And I will also say that the situation at the front is completely different - at the front, it is clear that Russia does not intend to stop the war, the intensity of the fighting is only increasing."

We keep being told that by EU and NATO leaders. What's less clear is what they're doing to prevent that.
Yes, Europe is rearming. It should be done by 2035. See the problem?
I'm not learning Russian.

If Europe keeps trying to influence T*ump to get what it wants instead of developing its own geopolitical strategy, it's going to have to take those frozen Russian assets and give T*ump a big beautiful bribe.
You know, to outbid Russia.
That's the only way I see appeasing T*ump working.

Imagine that
OTD in 1939 USSR staged the Mainila incident. A false flag to justify invading Finland as per our alliance with Nazis. We claimed Finn's attacked us just as a few hundred thousand of our soldiers were massed on their former border.
Imagine such brutality being tolerated & excused today.

Oletin hallituskauden alussa, että virkamiehet joutuvat opettamaan talouden pitoa hallitukselle kovalla kädellä. Ei onnistunut. Poliittinen paine kaatoi virkamiesten luotettavuuden. En alkujaankaan uskonut PS:n kykyyn hoitaa valtion taloutta. Kok/EK näki sen eli tilaisuus teki varkaan.

The European Union and Canada have used a "peace plan" written in Moscow as the template for a new "acceptable" Ukrainian capitulation plan. This is what we call Russian victory. Our leaders are FAILING us.

If RN gets into power in France and Reform UK wins, there will be no nuclear-armed states with non-extremist governments.
Cheerful thought, that.
Sticking to non-proliferation treaties really doesn't seem like the right move in that scenario.
