  2. We are so done with those kleptocratic authoritarian wannabes

  5. > In the days leading up to the crucial deadline, Hungary ratcheted up its critical rhetoric, arguing Donald Trump’s inauguration as US president merited a broader rethink of the bloc’s policy and the way sanctions are renewed every six months.

    This asshole probably expected Trump to pander more to Putin than he seems to be doing, and waited for his election. I understand Hungary are concerned about their gas flow, but they’re in for a world of hurt if they make short-sighted decisions based on keeping that going. They should’ve started planning a move away from it a decade ago with the invasion of Crimea, like the rest of Europe. Now they’re already at the end station for that gas without a good Plan B, and it’s in the open how poor leader they have.

  6. That’s a relief. Let’s hope they don’t back out at the last minute
