2. You’ve had years to adjust.

3. Good. Fuck Hungary.

4. Lmao

5. Yes, Very *Sad*. *Anyway*

6. >Czech refineries, owned by Poland’s Orlen (PKN.WA), do not have Lukoil as a supplier, so have not been directly impacted by the dispute.

   That’s an interesting coincidence. Maybe Hungary should learn the art of diplomacy…

7. Illiberal democracy working great ey lads?

8. Hungary had 2.5 years to find and change sources. How responsibility is it for this failure?

   Play stupid games, then find out.

9. Womp Womp

10. Funny thing is, if they didnt constantly block eu funds for Ukraine they could’ve used it now for actual leverage/threat, but they’ve been doing it from the start so it has no weight, they double fucked it up.

11. Thoughts and prayers 🙏

12. I guess the upside is Hungary is finally pressured to move on, preferably into oilless solutions,

13. So many options, why force your dependency on Russian oil?

14. it wont face any because only 10% of the oil comes from that line, they just want theyre narrative to be more pushed that ukraine doesnt want peace

15. am waiting for hungarian weeping and wailing in brussels

16. Good, get fucked

17. That’s what you get, bitch

18. Well, sucking Putin’s cock always eventually backfires.

19. Good.

20. My country Lithuania build LNG terminal to create other gas import options in 2014 and stoped importing oil for our refinery in 2022. Was plenty of time to look elsewhere. When the war started we helped our neighbors Latvia and Poland with gas import needs, as any good neighbour should. Maybe play diplomacy cards better within EU, and I am certain deals could be made, to get those things sorted. It’s a shame really that the rest of the EU reacted for a need of energy independence (unfortunately not soon enough, but had a good kick in a nuts), and progressing towards it, while you a couple countries clinging on energy uncertainty for last few years. It’s not too late yet tho to turn this around.

21. Isn’t it hotter than the surface of the Sun in Hungary right now? Why are they complaining?

22. Womp womp.

    This rage-bait by Fidesz will be lapped up by Fidesz’s base of boomers and bumpkins from outside Budapest and the diaspora which hasn’t even lived or worked in Hungary since the establishment of the reduced version of the country courtesy Trianon.

    The way the network is set up, the Hungarians won’t have shortages of fuel *unless* Fidesz deliberately withholds or interrupts distribution of any compensatory deliveries of fossil fuels from the rest of the EU. From Fidesz’s point of view, that rаtfuсkеrу *is* an option since they know that their base has convinced itself that *Viktor bácsi* (Uncle Viktor) and his friends are ultimately looking out for it. After all, 4 consecutive victories for Fidesz in national elections only emphasize how many ordinary Hungarians have been OK with Fidesz’s open degradation of the country. It’s just too bad that the costs of the misguided voters’ choice gets spread onto everyone in Hungary except members of Fidesz.

    On the other hand, enough non-Hungarians (plus Hungarians who’ve been genuinely against Fidesz) know that this drama is meant to ѕhіt publicly on the Ukrainians since it’s totally within the Ukrainians’ right not to renew the contract with Lukoil (I wonder why).

    That Orbán and the rest of Fidesz in Hungary (and Fico and the rest of Smer in Slovakia) are misconstruing this only as Ukrainian maliciousness is just a way to throw sand in everyone else’s eyes that they’re still pulling for the true successor state of the Golden Horde.

23. orban will just blame it on Ukraine and EU as always and his sheep will follow along with clapping or shaking their fist at them

24. I’m feeling sorry for the hungarian people to have Orban as a “MP”…

25. Less oil, cleaner air. All’s good.

26. Ladies and gentleman, we are approaching the find out area. Fasten your seatbelts!

27. How can we help?

28. Play stupid games, win stupid prices..

29. This news remind of a great Hungarian true story movie “Blockade” . It is about Hungary trying to exit USSR and USSR leveraging their oil dependence to prevent them.
    It culminates with large taxi driver strike while Hungarian prime minister tries to manage the crisis while at the same time undergoing critical surgery and recovery

30. The funniest part is that they’re threatening us… to continue blocking these funds the they’ve being blocking the whole time before we’ve stopped the transfer.

31. Good.

32. good

33. Hungary is becoming a leader in fighting climate change

    /s

34. Good.
