He won’t lose, just like Trump, and will do whatever is needed to keep himself in power.

Like standing here as "Johnny English"!

Get ready for false flag operations to gain support for Orban and/or give him the chance to suspend the upcoming election.

The chants of the 1956 Hungarian Uprising - translated as "Russians go home" are very common at Orban rallies now.

It really does beg the questions as to why the US is so interested in keeping a right-wing dictator and puppet of Putin in power. Perhaps it's because Hungary is ranked as the most corrupt country in Euro and Trump recognises a fellow traveller. Hungary should be kicked out of both Nato and the EU

Vance backing Putin supporting EU hating Orban in person - it's truly horrific

 

[Manc in London]

If you watch the press conference and still think the US and are not working with Russia against Europe, then I pity you.

Vance backing Putin supporting EU hating Orban in person - it's truly horrific

If Putin was having one of his legitimate and fair elections in Moscow Vance would be there giving him Uncle Sam’s backing. Even though they are using Russian spy satellites to help Iran hit American military targets in the gulf.

Election interference by foreign states is wrong unless it's them doing it I guess.

 

[dickie davies]

If I were Hungarian and had been watching world events, the last foreign people I would want to see backing any candidate in a GE election would be trump and vance
As for putin, Hungarians should remind themselves of their last 70 years of history

You know damn well it'll be an excuse used should the midterms fuck Trump over*


*If he hasn't declared martial law by then

Had three separate conversations with young, educated Hungarians last week. One was proudly flying back to vote, one sheepishly admitted he’d forgotten it was happening, and one blithely acknowledged that he had no idea it was even happening! So much for the ‘Lads of Pest’.

He’s sold the USA and its interests to Putin, lock, stock and barrel of oil.
There’s a piece in the NYT today suggesting that Trump has a hard on for Vlad, Vlad knows it and he strings him along. Trump wants him as a bestie, and wants him to stop the war with Ukraine so he can claim the credit. Have you noticed he never, ever calls Vlad out?
Not only that, it’s widely thought that the Putin government cannot believe what a useful idiot the Trumper has become.
Destabilise/crash NATO? Tick
Support strong men controlling their ‘sphere of influence’? Tick
Threaten Middle East all to such an extent as to hugely enrich 2 of the 3 biggest suppliers (USA and Russia)? Tick.

And Farage still thinks he’ll get him to ‘sort Brexit’ the knob…

Of course, this is the beginning of the end for Vance. He sold every single principle he ever had to sit on Donald’s lap and he’s about to find out what a catastrophic mistake that was. Trump is piling humiliation on top of humiliation on to him and he still bends over the snooker table and says ‘harder’. Trump said publicly that if the war goes badly Vance will be to blame and, if it goes well, Trump will take all the credit. Safe to say, it’s not going well…

You wonder what Orban himself is thinking allowing someone as unpopular and uncharismatic as Vance to give a speech on his behalf.

Hungarians who are on the fence are supposed to be swayed by a speech in English given by an insignificant American politician who appears to be wearing mascara?
