Okay, are you seriously a bot? What White House approved sources?

Orphans being raped were acknowledged by the Orbán government, the rapist and his accomplices were convicted in court, then the accomplice was pardoned because he was a personal friend of the Orbán family. That this happened is not even disputed by Orbán himself either, he’s just trying to pretend that he has no sway over his own Minister of Justice or the President he nominated. Some in his inner circle are still on the side of the guy who enabled the mass rape of orphaned children.

I am not informing myself about hospitals from “White House approved media”, I’ve been there and lost multiple family members there to entirely preventable causes. I wouldn’t wish the experience of visiting a hospice that looks like a literal horror show to see a loved one for one last time as they die from treatable diseases. Or being told that a loved one has died since the ambulance didn’t arrive at all. For days.

Please go outside and wake up to the reality that the biggest problem affecting Hungary at least for the past 20 years has been the idiotic, incompetent and utterly corrupt in all senses of the word Orbán government that is being supported by Putin for the sole reason of creating chaos in the EU.

BTW today’s news is that this is how a bathroom of a home for children in state care looks like in Hungary, today, after countless amounts of EU money given to and stolen by the government:

Orphans are being quite literally raped with government support, healthcare is nonexistent with hospitals not picking up the phone and entire wards closing, the infrastructure is failing with trains derailing daily, wages are a joke and are being artificially repressed, housing prices are skyrocketing, all with government support.

That’s Orbán’s reality, that is the proximate threat, that is what the Russian puppet is doing to the country. Wall Street idiots and incompetent neoliberal politicians are of course annoying and we should work against that as well, but give me a fucking break.

And just please stop doing the American exceptionalist idiotism yourself, the world is more than genocidal fascistic Russians and genocidal fascistic Americans. You don’t need to lick the boot of Putin to show you don’t support Biden.

the sanctions and Nord Stream bombing.

I wonder what might have caused that. Not a genocidal fascist Russia, right?

I won’t try to press you to use logic regarding how US energy companies benefit.

It’s a shit situation, but still better than genocide.

You just started venting your Orbán Derangement Syndome.

Nice to see you using the same lingo as the American fascists, you know the ones that support an additional genocide in the Middle East as well as the one Russia is perpetrating.

Blackrock will take the world you intended for your children from you.

Thanks, but Orbán already took it and sold most of it to Russians. Not much left to steal anymore.

Apparently this is one of the things the Biden admin was doing consistently over all its four years.

This last flurry is only so that he confirms more than Trump did.

Not excusing it, but very few countries didn’t have slavery in their history at one point or another.

It’s just some never stopped, like the US.

Add retirement homes, healthcare, and once in a lifetime inflation events every decade.

A third wouldn’t care, a third would jack off to it and you know sanity is in a minority.

Hungary should have the mangalica, it’s a furry pig, and it fits sooo well.

Oh, it’s not just gaming

Why are all basic civil rights not enshrined in laws, but instead resting on brittle law precedents in the US?

What the actual heck are you talking about?

NATO has no bearing on the European economic situation while admitting in the next breath it has huge implications for energy prices due to trade with Russia.

Energy prices went up since Russia is conducting a military invasion on the country transiting said energy, and as a result of EU/US sanctions that are the result of war crimes, crimes of aggression and genocide. The only thing NATO does currently is ensure that can’t spill over to more countries being attacked. NATO didn’t do jack shit yet. Individual countries, and the EU, did.

and your countrymen have been calling me blind drunk screaming about how they have no money

Our countrymen should look for their money at Hatvanpuszta or Mészáros & Mészáros. Russian puppet Orbán stole all the money and the future of the country, Russian puppet Orbán made it impossible to have children, get sick, or die, with dignity, he is responsible for producing the highest real estate inflation, the highest food inflation in the EU, and it’s all because he’d rather take Russian cock to his throat than have less corruption kickbacks.

A ruszkik meg igazán hazamehetnének végre és foglalkozhatnának a saját országukkal ahelyett hogy mongol módjára fosztogatnak és erőszakolnak nyugatra.

As is tradition.

Or maybe, just maybe, fine companies that commit criminal acts.

There really is a fine line between turning into an authoritarian regime and doing basic police work, right?

Twitter is not the sole, or even the biggest social media company in Europe. It’s not even in the top 3.

The advertisement sector will be fine.

The DMA has no bearing on disinfo, it’s about access, like mandating a public API to federate with or banning self-preferencing with other products.

The disinfo thing is regulated by the DSA - Digital Services Act, and it very much applies to Twitter.

IDK what your point is. NATO being revitalized is not a “good thing” that makes us live nicer. NATO and rearmament is a fever, Russian imperialism is the sickness.

NATO is not an economic alliance, it’s a military one. The sole goal of NATO is keeping Russian soldiers outside NATO members’ territories. And as someone whose home country has suffered immensely under Russian occupation, seeing Russia draw troops down from the Finnish border right after they joined the alliance makes me happy that we are NATO members.

Europe wouldn’t be doing better outside NATO, it has no bearing on economics. Trade disruption with Russia certainly has to do with it, but ironically that’s because during the 00s and the 10s Europe extended a friendly hand to Russia, and got into deep trading entanglements with it, which Russia tried to exploit to force geopolitical concessions.

I’m assuming it’s autocorrect, but there were no Dutch rabbits involved. It’s Vernichtung durch Arbeit, extermination through work.

The common security and defence policy shall be an integral part of the common foreign and security policy. It shall provide the Union with an operational capacity drawing on civilian and military assets.

This is how the clause starts.

It is explicitly a military alliance. That said, Ukraine is a sovereign state, and they are the sole authorities on what military alliance they want to join, Russia has no seat in the Ukrainian parliament. Of course, Putin has no excuses.

I’m just being a dick about this because it’s actually an Eurosceptic Russia-friendly narrative that the EU is nothing but a trade deal, and has no bearing on common foreign policy, common defence policy, or the creation of a common geopolitical proxy. It is. The end goal explicitly is that - while inside the EU, member states may have their own politics - from the outside of the EU, it is one country, one partner.

So when Trump or Xi or Putin come over to talk, their counterpart is representing 420 million people and an economic capacity rivalling that of the US, and member states can’t be played against each other. I know realistically we are not quite there, but Trump really hated to talk to the EU instead of individual member states. There was a reason for that.

or, if I’m mistaken, replace NATO with any other military alliance Ukraine would want to join

This is essentially what the Ukraine EU accession talks are about. The EU is the military alliance they want to join, and it is actually even more protective than the NATO.

So the question isn’t stupid, Ukraine actually wants this, the EU is of two minds about it so far.

even then calling it an organization is not really that accurate

It is an organization, you can go work for the NATO directly. They are headquartered in Brussels.

That said, military intervention on behalf of NATO works as you described, but there would be an obligation to help Canada in your example if the war would spread to its home soil. That said, the help obligation is literally worded “as they deem necessary”, so they could pretend that no large-scale intervention is necessary.
