Hungary is Supporting Russia and China. It's EU Membership is a Ticking Time Bomb - On Air - TVP WORLD

Hungary once again finds itself at the center of controversy. It has long used EU funds to feed corruption and run anti-EU campaigns while forging deep ties with China and Russia.

And I don't trust Hungary to be in NATO either. I hope they are not sharing sensitive secrets with Orban!!

but I think there's an appetite now not to take any more crap if Orban tries it on. They've been doing workarounds since 22.
