Orban Compares EU Membership to Being in the Warsaw Pact
And yet again, I say: Get a load of the balls on this guy!
If you don’t speak Hungarian, let me teach you a handy phrase: takarodj!
Not that there is anything wrong with it — if that is what you like to do — but checking out the rocks of other men is not my idea of a fun afternoon, morning, night, evening, etc. And yet, in the past month or so, I have written at least three articles about people’s balls.
I don’t want to be writing about Hungary. I don’t, but Hungary is writing about itself, and I am just conveying these sentiments to you. The preamble to this story has already been written in these two articles: Hungary Parroting Kremlin Rhetoric Challenges Ukraine’s Right to Exist, and Hungary Should Be Ousted from the EU and NATO.
Let’s now get down to our heaping plate of Hungarian goulash with homemade noodles and discuss what has my head spinning today.
Speaking to a select group of guests in the city of Veszprem, Orbán accused the EU of seeking to strip Hungary of its identity by imposing a model of liberal democracy that he said Hungarians reject. Brussels, the de facto capital of the EU, employs methods against Hungary that hearken back to the days of Soviet domination by Moscow, he said.
“Today, things pop up that remind us of the Soviet times. Yes, it happens that history repeats itself,” Orbán said at the event, from which all media were excluded except Hungary’s state broadcaster. “Fortunately, what once was tragedy is now a comedy at best. Fortunately, Brussels is not Moscow. Moscow was a tragedy. Brussels is just a bad contemporary parody (Orban Blasts European Union).”
Hey, Orban, I’m calling lófütty on your above statement!
Orban is going full Putin these days. He sees that the stinky winds of change are blowing across Slovakia, and he doesn’t want to lose any special privileges that the homicidal maniac in the Kremlin might be able to bestow upon Hungary as winter bears down. Clearly, Orban realizes that his political future lies not with an anti-Russian, pro-Ukraine coalition but with the Hungarian fascists who keep voting him into power.
In case you didn’t know or might have forgotten, Hungary spent most of World War II as an ally of Nazi Germany. Toward the war’s end, the opportunists tried to switch sides and were then occupied by Germany. This also explains why the Jews of Hungary were some of the last to be sent off to the camps.
Not happy with their relationship with Moscow in the Warsaw Pact, they revolted in 1956 only to see their rebellion violently put down. The Eisenhower administration was criticized then for using the Voice of America to encourage the rebellion, only to fail to come to the rescue. Hungarians to this day are angry about that “stab in the back.” Today, Hungary is treating Brussels and the E.U. as their new Moscow and as they did in World War II, seeking to align themselves with fascists and murderers.
The time has come to cut Hungary off and let that dirigible float in whatever direction it wants, but to make it pay for that right to be independent.
“We had to dance to the tune that Moscow whistled,” Orbán said of Hungary’s days in the Eastern Bloc. “Brussels whistles too, but we dance as we want to, and if we don’t want to, then we don’t dance (Orban Blasts European Union)!”
Be our guests, Orban and oh, by the way, “Basszon agyon a kenkoves istennyila!” Literally translated, this means, “Get f***** to death by lightning and sulphuric stones!” Apparently, these are pretty normal phrases in Hungarian, folks, so don’t think that I am being particularly rude. But even if I am, as far as this rudeness concerns Viktor Orban, I don’t care. I cannot tolerate such arrogance and ignorance.
The holiday, which looms large in Hungary’s historical memory as a freedom fight against Russian repression, comes as war rages in neighboring Ukraine, where Moscow has occupied large swaths of the country and illegally annexed four regions.
Orbán, widely considered one of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s only allies in the EU, has vigorously lobbied against the bloc imposing sanctions on Moscow, though the nationalist leader has ultimately voted for all sanctions packages (Orban Blasts European Union).
Viktor Orban is a bully, and Putin’s lapdog. Like his buddy Donald Trump, he is a coward with a man crush on the pencil-pushing spy from Leningrad. For the historical record, Putin was never a gun-toting spy who spent his nights hunting down Western agents. He was a bureaucrat whose main task was to swing by the houses of the German agents on holidays and bring vodka, sausages, and pantyhose for their wives.
Orban, during the Communist period, was just a punk, just like he is today.
On Monday evening, several thousand demonstrators marched down a central avenue in Budapest in opposition to Orbán’s education policies — which they say undervalue teachers in public schools and are resulting in an educator shortage — as well as Hungary’s continued relationship with Russia despite Moscow’s invasion.
“Back then, the Soviet Union invaded Hungary, and today’s Russia is demonstrating similar efforts at conquest, and we’d like to express our solidarity with Ukraine,” said demonstrator Katalin Beke. “It really damages the interests of our allies that (Orbán) is so visibly friendly with (Putin). I find it extremely damaging (Orban Blasts European Union).”
Yet another “seggfej” joins the list of fascists who must go.
