    The EU… of which Hungary is part of?

    He lost the plot the moment he had the US VP stumping for him and Trump supporting him.

      Lot’s of people in EU fall for strong leader trap, aging population and plenty of brown immigrants doesn’t help. Hope Hungary does the right thing tomorrow, but i feel it will be messy if he loses. He won’t go peacefully.

        Interestingly those two concept seem to be mutually exclusive… people fall for stories about (totally imaginary masses of) brown immigrants only where none actually exist.

    Yeah, the EU wanted him out, and now he’ll be out. So what?

    News flash, Dems are plotting to push Trump out. That’s a scoop, run with it!

      So now Hungary deals with a potentially less mafia like leader, who still isn’t very pro EU nor Ukraine and might still bloc the 90 Billion Euro. However he’ll have his own mess to clean up and possibly stop blocking the EU from more functionally operating as well as hopefully stop being a Putin conduit/advocate.

      Trump and the US shit is world affecting, but get your head out of your US ass. The EU is where the free world game is, and China is still the player to watch. Trump just made the US more irrelevant and your ignorance is part of why that is.

    To be honest, i couldn’t give a fuck how he spins it. The people who are believing what Putin says seem to be a lost cause.

    I fully hope that EU would be influencing the fuck out of those elections. Can someone say one reason why we shouldn’t be doing that, given how our enemies are 100% doing it.

    To answer my own question, I actually have one reason: It would be funny if Putin would lose in Hungary even if we didn’t do any influencing.

      Because we follow the law. No matter how shitty that can be sometimes. The moment you stop following the law you lose credibility. Just look at the braindrain and loss of scientific instances in the USA right now.

        You can influence and still follow the law. And I am not talking about the shady stuff. Just tell people what you are doing and why are you doing it.

          Yeah true. But because of all the bad stuff happening in the world my mind immediately goes to illegal influencing (rigging votes etc.). Its honestly quite depressing.
