    nly Hungary now stands in the way of Sweden becoming NATO’s thirty-second member, after the Turkish parliament ratified Stockholm’s bid Tuesday and ended three months of gridlock.

    Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán—long criticized as a Russian “Trojan horse” within the European Union and NATO given close and resilient ties between Moscow and Budapest—has long said that his country would not be the last ally to ratify Swedish membership. But the Hungarian parliament is now the only legislative body within the NATO member states not to have given its approval for Sweden’s accession.

  2. Hungary just said today, they are not in rush to ratify Sweden as NATO member. Meaning, it wont happen.

  3. Hungarian pig Orban now tries to press something out of Sweden in return for approval.

  4. Orbán is loving this. He’s never felt so powerful. He needs to be personally sanctioned, not Hungary. Punishing Hungary, most of which hates him, (don’t argue with me on this. I lived there for years), won’t accomplish anything. Since HE is the one benefitting from Russian payoffs, HE should be the one sanctioned.

    Easy solution: Austria invades and annexes Hungary and Slovakia. It was better that way. Most Hungarians would just shrug.
