From NATO and the EU, please, too.
This is what Kreml wants, to piss them of so much, that they start to kick their members out and destabilise or make them untrustworthy partners
Oh god please
Best friends with Putin AND in EU AND in NATO! The magic of politics.
Maybe incoming ICC arrest warrant for Orban?
Definitely sounds like he's about to do some war crimes.
Hungary once used to be much greater in area, involving Slovakia, Croatia, and even some parts of today's Ukraine. Orbán did say Hungary no longer have no territorial requests towards Ukraine after Euromaidan.
Then remove Hungary from the EU
You can't be a dictatorship that ignores international law by simply withdrawing yourself from treaties
Hungary wants to join Russia, let it
I'm generally not for forcing people to pick sides but in this case I don't think you can have both. It's it's either European values or not. If the answer is not then please leave.
Europe is pretty divided around the warrant for netanyahu, so I'm not sure how they are not displaying "European values."
He’s an EU obstructionist. Our representatives spend more time trying to function because of him.
I don’t know if it’s better to have Hungary in our out, strategically, but they’re not a normal member or a friendly one.
Hungary has opposed sanctions to Russia as well as Sweden's and Finland's NATO membership along many other things the rest of the EU has more or less been in agreement. Withdrawing from ICC is just their latest shenanigans.
The topic at hand was the ICC. At least in this case, they are being the most honest about it. They aren't going to follow the guidelines, so they are withdrawing. That's a better position than France, who will remain signatory but not arrest netanyahu.
The topic at hand was the ICC.
Exactly. Not Netanyahu.
The ICC intends to arrest him.
But my comment wasn’t about Netanyahu - it was about Hungary being the odd one out in several cases now, and their withdrawal from the ICC is just the latest example of them seemingly holding different values than the rest of the EU. Whether or not the entire EU agrees on what to do about Benjamin is irrelevant here - the ICC has issued an arrest warrant, and for an ICC member state to refuse to comply is effectively a refusal to respect international law. Who the warrant is for isn’t the point; the principle is.
And arresting netanyahu. Wow 🤣
Back to the creepy Carpathian shack.
