When Putin wanted to go to South Africa, Brussels banged on about his ICC war crimes warrant. Crickets for the Israel PM’s trip to Budapest.

    By giving Hungary to Russia, Russia will gain even more territory in the EU and Hungary is a strategic place for them. Yeah the nuke part was a bit over the top since if they want they can nuke anyone anyway.

    If we throw out every country that has a shitty government then putin will just take the EU bit by bit. Don’t forget that populism is on the rise everywhere so any EU country can then fall victim to populism and risk being thrown out. It’s not about Hungary being thrown out its about setting a precedent for other to be removed.

    If anything we should sanction Hungary, but removing them would just result in Russia gaining more land.

      Thst is fair, thanks for clarifying that it was just hyperbole with the nukes.

      I mostly agree with your point about keeping Hungary in the EU.
