Speaking on the anniversary of the 1848 Hungarian Revolution, the Hungarian PM described what freedom means for Hungarians, and why "it is time for the Council of Governors in Brussels" to start trembling.

        And have you thought about what happens the next day? Orban applies to join the Russian Federation. As if Kaliningrad isn’t enough of a problem for the EU now we’ve got a Russian forward base west of Vienna.

        We have no choice but to keep Hungary IN the EU. Unless of course they want to leave. It’s not like we forced them to join or stay.

          What you wrote is so dumb. Why and how would Hungary join Russia? You can’t just apply to join another country. And what Hungary stands to win from leaving EU and joining Russia? Hungary is literally surrounded by EU countries or country that want to get into EU. There is no treaty that would allow any Russian forces or literally anything from Russia to get to Hungary, so you can’t compare it with Kaliningrad. Hungary has literally nothing to gain from leaving EU, a lot to lose and no way to threaten the EU if it leaves EU. The only “power” Hungary has is voting in ways that create problems for other EU members.

            You can’t just apply to join another country.

            I’m sure that Orban has no intention of doing so, but sure you can.

    If he is right, then how come his country’s population is leaving it in the hundreds of thousands for Western countries to find a job and a life?
