“We don’t hate Ukraine. The problem is that the Ukrainian state hates Hungary, it has pursued an anti-Hungarian political approach for the last ten years. Ukraine behaves in a very hostile manner towards Hungary,” Szijjártó said.

“I’m not the bully, you are the bully! Words bounce off me and stick to you! Ha!”

    I think more broadly he also is just allied with Putin, maybe those are the reasons he allied with him, but, under the model that Putin is exporting across the west. RW, fascisty parties that scapegoat others for problems running as reform, knowing the mainstream parties are both owned by the oligarchy and the gets worse every year, and just waits for his party to win, and then helps fix them in power, like Orban has been, subordinating the media, shutting down any opposition and non profits, and idk what all.

    But it’s about to play out across europe, with the US helping covertly and overtly. Expect any private communications to be shared with those far right if it can help them for instance. Or any number of other fuckeries, and expect the far right to try and fix themselves in power every way they can. Hungary is one such template.

    Orban is like Mussolini, he was purportedly a leftist that seemingly noticed if he championed the right he could take control.
