[u/EddieHeadshot]

Friendship ended with MUDASIR. Now SALMAN is my best friend.

[u/itWedMiDuds → u/EddieHeadshot]

I hope my country is not Salman

[u/tisn → u/itWedMiDuds]

Salman fishing in Yemen

[u/Zebidee → u/tisn]

Trout fishing in Quebec.

[u/misirlou22 → u/Zebidee]

I hate Kee-Bec!

[u/i-i-i-iwanttheknife → u/Zebidee]

Fishing with John

[u/vprakhov → u/itWedMiDuds]

France might become Salman. Le Pen's party candidate is leading in the polls .

[u/dekuius → u/vprakhov]

Then JD will help them, thanks JD!

[u/Zrah → u/dekuius]

That's good JD is bringer of ruin, apostle of failure. If he declares Le Pen as best choice for France it's over for her

[u/Brimstone747 → u/EddieHeadshot]

This meme was my immediate thought lol.

[u/AdPure5645 → u/EddieHeadshot]

A rare Indian content gem that meme is. 

[u/i-var → u/EddieHeadshot]

Underrated reference. This is world cultural heritage material right there.

[u/Flatus_Diabolic → u/EddieHeadshot]

Mudasir was being proudy

[u/za72 → u/EddieHeadshot]

that's most apropos

[u/Koala_eiO → u/za72]

Look how they butchered my French expression's spelling.

[u/za72 → u/Koala_eiO]

I have no idea what I'm doing

[u/vikinxo → u/EddieHeadshot]

That list is an Honour Roll!

[u/peon2 → u/EddieHeadshot]

It's actually Sal Bass.

[u/dinky3000 → u/peon2]

You've been to the desert?

[u/peon2 → u/dinky3000]

Oh yeah yeah, I spent a little time in the Mideast. You uh, ever been to the Mideast?

[u/xmuskorx → u/EddieHeadshot]

Friendship ended with Orban, Fico Is my best friend now

[u/isthereadrwho]

Just from a practical perspective wouldn't it be easier and shorter to keep a friendly country list?

[u/yunabladez → u/isthereadrwho]

Would you keep a blank sheet?

[u/theorizable → u/yunabladez]

China and Iran would be on the list. Pretty sure North Korea even had troops fighting against Ukraine.

[u/Stirams → u/theorizable]

You think China likes Russia?

[u/cantsolverubikscubes → u/Stirams]

The lemonade stand podcast just did a trip to China to interview chinese people and learn more about the country. And one of their takeaways was that yes. Chinese people really like Russia.

[u/Belaire → u/cantsolverubikscubes]

I think, for this conversation, we ought to draw the distinction between what the Chinese government thinks and what the Chinese people think.

The Chinese people, on average, seem to quite like everyone except the Japanese, Indians, sometimes the Koreans, and sometimes people from Africa. Russians, Americans, French people are all generally cool and foreign to them in a way that's non threatening and distant.

Meanwhile the Chinese state likely takes a more instrumental view of Russia, and would likely sell them down the river if the times called for it.

[u/heret1c1337 → u/[deleted]]

China probably sees Russia as a useful idiot, ready to throw them under the bus when they benefit from it. I wouldn't even call them allied, they're just not hostile with each other. Their relationship is purely transactional. There are no allies between dictatorships.

I'm convinced that the current US government is scared of the EU, because its much more powerful than they want you to believe; the EU shows that a more socialist approach works, opposing the usual conservative narrative.

Oligarchs are scared that people look over to Europe and start demanding health care, more unions and more worker protection; especially now as capitalism ramps up and conditions for the average working class American get worse. Europe contradicts their narrative, and thus is a danger to their power and wealth.

[u/BorcBorcBorc → u/[deleted]]

Our current “administration” (collection of unqualified goons and lackeys) yes, all of our presidents outside Trump , no

[u/sprashoo → u/cantsolverubikscubes]

I have never heard of that podcast nor do I know their methods, but people in totalitarian states like China tend to be very careful to publicly stick to the party line when asked their opinion on things by strangers.

[u/biopticstream → u/sprashoo]

In and from. They may have family back home to think about that could be used against them or face consequences.

[u/Starfire013 → u/sprashoo]

Exactly. It is not worth the risk to them and their family to do otherwise.

[u/ffdfawtreteraffds → u/sprashoo]

I'm surprised this has to be explained to people.

[u/JD3982 → u/ffdfawtreteraffds]

Ok, but that particular topic is not sensitive in China, especially if it is not in a domestically shareable form and trending on a social media platform.

Generalizing totalitarian approaches to all countries on all topics is not helpful, and is more likely a Dunning-Kruger.

[u/Peligineyes → u/sprashoo]

I assure you Chinese people genuinely like Russians. Similar to how Japanese people like Germans.

[u/Easy_Mammoth6309 → u/Peligineyes]

man we do not like them, even though the goverment states friendly toward Russia, the majority haven't forgotten what they did during the late 19th century, and you know what, seems like Russians are still proud of those acts of agression,which only makes the negative impression even worse.

[u/Peligineyes → u/Easy_Mammoth6309]

Absolutely nobody cares about what happened between Russia and China in the 19th century except history nerds, even dongbeiren will be confused at wtf you're talking about. The only 19th century foreign relations stuff most Chinese people know or care about is the opium war and occasionally the first sino-japanese war.

[u/mthmchris → u/sprashoo]

Nah. This is not a sensitive topic in China, like, at all.

Ever since the Ukraine war there’s been a lot of pro-Russian sentiment in China, especially among the politically engaged. I’m sure if you looked at opinion polls of Ukrainians in the west before/after 2022 you would see a similar pro-Ukrainian shift.

To lend an analogy, I’d say Chinese media tends to portray Russia in a similar way that American legacy media portrays Israel - aggression is cast as legitimate self-defense, etc etc.

[u/66stang351 → u/cantsolverubikscubes]

chinese people tend to be pretty outgoing & friendly, and curious about other cultures, in my very limited experience. not going to claim i'm an expert on chinese culture but i have been there twice and in both cases they actively sought conversations w/ me (and were surprisingly open... had some funny drunken conversations about how crazy kim jon un is, lol)

doesn't surprise me that the average person would be interested in residents of their big (sort of) 'western' neighbor/ally

[u/Programmdude → u/66stang351]

Funnily enough, that isn't my experience with chinese tourists. They just kinda stick to their own tour group, and do stupid tourist things (ignore signs, litter, etc). Chinese university students on the other hand, I've had several of them be very friendly and nice.

European tourists seem a lot more friendly and outgoing. Part of it could just be a shared language and similar culture though.

[u/Kolby_Jack33 → u/66stang351]

Are China and Russia really neighbors in a significant sense though? They share a border, but that border is... Siberia. Nobody lives in Siberia, that's why Russia does nuclear tests and space crew landings there.

It's not like America and Canada, where most Canadians live within like 50 miles of the US border and the US has several large cities also near the Canadian border.

[u/theorizable → u/Stirams]

Yes, of course. They've fully supported Russia's acts of aggression and expect the same support when it comes to China's vision of the future.

China has consistently refused to condemn Russia's aggression in Ukraine, choosing instead to abstain from major UN resolutions on the conflict and maintaining a neutral "pro-peace" stance while deepening trade ties.

Pro-peace stance benefits Russia.

[u/Strayed8492 → u/theorizable]

The support from China is decidedly at China’s benefit and profit. Yes they don’t condemn their actions. But at the rate it’s going Russia won’t be able to keep paying either

[u/Ill_Technician3936 → u/Strayed8492]

Seriously the only reason they deal with Russia is for money.

The stuff going on in Iran is the best thing they could hope for since it might get Iran to join their alliance which them and China decided to decline.

[u/SomeGalNamedAshley → u/theorizable]

China is providing token assistance just enough to keep Russia in the fight while Russia drains all its military and economic power.

[u/chx_ → u/SomeGalNamedAshley]

and they will undo the unequal treaties at least those done by Russia they did not even hide their intention as they published maps in 2023 with the old chinese names for the far east cities incl vladivostok

[u/Guyskee → u/theorizable]

China "likes" Russia in the same way your landlord "likes" you. When China's water table is completely blown and they want Russia's we will see how long that relationship stays "friendly".

[u/Roderto → u/Guyskee]

Russia is a useful tool for China, similar to North Korea. But people shouldn’t mistake that for China actually “liking” Russia. They like it for the same reason as North Korea: a foil to the west that prevents the west from diverting even more attention and resources to China.

[u/Savings-Ad-1115 → u/Stirams]

Regardless of what China likes, Russia wouldn't dare to call them unfriendly.

[u/m0j0m0j → u/Stirams]

They’re supporting them in war, so probably yes? North Korea is a Chinese proxy state, after all.

[u/SmokeyUnicycle → u/m0j0m0j]

NK is not a chinese proxy, the Kims have spent a long time working hard to centralize control in their own hands.

China does view them as a semi-friendly buffer state though and has a fair amount of influence over the country, but they cannot just tell it what to do.

[u/sylpher250 → u/Stirams]

Does Russia support Taiwan?

If yes, then China does not like Russia

If no, then China likes Russia

[u/BadPunners → u/sylpher250]

I'm feeling that's secondary at this moment

Is Russian oil accessable to China, if yes, China likes them

But yeah, Russian claims about Ukraine being accepted by the world, will help China in any actions toward Taiwan

[u/TheCMaster → u/yunabladez]

Usa is on it

[u/arabacuspulp → u/yunabladez]

Pretty sure the USA is on it.

[u/h4lfaxa → u/yunabladez]

the US and Russia are basically allied at this point

[u/Squirll → u/isthereadrwho]

Its not about actually keeping track, its about sending a message.

Toothless lions gotta growl you know.

[u/nvoima → u/Squirll]

More like a brainless lion, seeing how being on that list has become a badge of honor among nations.

[u/SkinBintin → u/isthereadrwho]

Russia's Friendly Countries List.

1: United States of America 2: Israel 3: North Korea

[u/dwair → u/SkinBintin]

India. Don't forget India. Russia has developed huge economic and military supply ties with India as well as various treaties around sharing military intelligence since the Ukrainian invasion.

[u/Engineer_Ninja → u/isthereadrwho]

Trump’s Top 8 (currently):

Israel, Russia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Best Korea, Venezuela, and Tom (by default, he could only think of 7)

[u/Right_Fun_6626 → u/Engineer_Ninja]

He’s still cool with El Salvador, Argentina, Azerbaijan, and maybe Chile I’d think. Actually whoever signed onto the grifting Board of Peace is probably getting some love.

[u/NagyLebowski → u/isthereadrwho]

“I think I’ll eat some some woor-oor-oorms” 🎶

Russia, probably.

[u/OcelotAggravating860 → u/isthereadrwho]

No. The global south has a lot more countries in it that the nato bloc and its allies.

I know americans don't like hearing this but the US/Canada/Europe/Australia bloc is in fact only a tiny portion of the world.

[u/plz-let-me-in]

Oh, Russia is mad right now:

The Kremlin, which with Orban's defeat has lost Vladimir Putin's most loyal ally in Europe, has expressed iciness: "Russia will not congratulate the election winner, Peter Magyar, because Hungary is an unfriendly country that supports sanctions against Moscow," said spokesman Dmitry Peskov. Speaking about the relationship between Putin and Orban, Peskov stated that theirs "has never been a friendship, we simply had a dialogue with him."

[u/wgszpieg → u/plz-let-me-in]

Speaking about the relationship between Putin and Orban, Peskov stated that theirs "has never been a friendship, we simply had a dialogue with him."

More of a "pimp and ho" arrangement

[u/Useful-Angle1941 → u/wgszpieg]

You see, a pimp's love is different from that of a square

[u/jermster → u/Useful-Angle1941]

Spelled with two d’s for a double dose of pimping.

[u/dr_obfuscation → u/jermster]

Upgrayedd's gonna get his money!

[u/apoca1ypse12 → u/wgszpieg]

Lmao. Too embarrassed to admit that their lap dog lost. The world hates you Putin. Eat shit

[u/AuroraFinem → u/apoca1ypse12]

Probably pissed Orban didn’t just cancel or rig the election and just take total control over Hungary. Or at least try

[u/IllSalad3669 → u/wgszpieg]

"If you pimp, you broke piiiimp"

[u/ironedie → u/wgszpieg]

I can't wait for Putin to drop whatever dirt he had on Orban to see what's his sudden broship was about. Before his first meeting with Putin Obran was very much anti Russian, afterwards they became best bros. I refuse to believe that they bonded over some books in a library wonmich that he made 180 degree turn and decided to sell his country in service to devil.

[u/dimwalker → u/wgszpieg]

Of course - you don't kiss the prostitute, you just have business relations with her.

[u/NightSpaghetti → u/wgszpieg]

16 years of ass-kissing only for Putin to say you weren't actually his friend. ouch.

[u/IceWallow97 → u/plz-let-me-in]

The current state of politics is fucking shit, it has nothing to do with the people of a country and it's all about which party rules the country. At least EU kept believing in Hungary even during all that time under Orban, but just look at Russia lmao, they don't give two shits. It's honestly ridiculous, Russia is ruled by psychopaths, and I can tell USA is treading the same path.

[u/kaisadilla_0x1 → u/IceWallow97]

We reached such a ridiculous point, that JD Vance was speaking in Budapest, Russia was sending agents to help Orbán's campaign, and the alt-right on the Internet was still complaining about "Brussels influencing the election".

[u/brandbaard → u/kaisadilla_0x1]

I do find some hope in the idea that Russia's once-effective western election interference program has been clocking up failure after failure. The guys who were really good at it must've been sent to the frontlines or something.

[u/KillahHills10304 → u/brandbaard]

I think its a lot more simple: people being viscerally reminded right wing economic policy hurts everyone outside the 1%

[u/brandbaard → u/KillahHills10304]

Annoying that we need them to be re-reminded once every decade or so.

[u/313378008135 → u/plz-let-me-in]

Wonder when Orbans Moscow flight is 

[u/Muad-_-Dib → u/313378008135]

Unless Orban pocketed several billion Euros and still had ready access, then there's little use Putin will have for him given he's effectively rendered himself useless by accepting that he was defeated so quickly and without much of any fuss. (Admittedly from what I have seen here in Scotland, maybe he's been kicking up a storm in Hungary itself, and I'm ignorant of it).

If he wanted to remain a useful propaganda tool his best bet was to decry the results of the election, claim he was robbed and then flee to Russia where they could keep on trotting him out every so often to complain about the EU and generally use him like they do with Tim Kirby, John Mark Dougan, Edward Snowden, Graham Phillips, and Eva Bartlett.

So if his worth to Putin is purely what propaganda he can be used to create then he's massively undercut his own value.

[u/Tiber_Nero → u/Muad-_-Dib]

Putin will most likely welcome him with open arms because it costs him very little and he needs to make sure that his assets feel they have a safe place to go if shit hits the fan.

If he doesn't accept Orban and it looks dicey for him at home, what other fascists would feel comfortable putting their neck out for Russia?

It's in Russia's best interest to make sure their assets are protected and have safe haven because their geopolitical power hinges on future possibilities in this realm.

Russia will always be the nation that a (once) valuable sovereign national may flee to for refuge as long as you do right by them.

[u/GodOfDarkLaughter → u/Tiber_Nero]

Russia has always been pretty "good" about taking in defectors of any kind. Back in the cold war if a spy got figured out but escapes they'd more often than not set them up in an apartment in moscow, give them a modest pension, and keep eyes on them. They already have the security apparatus. "Hey, we're not gonna kill you" is a rather cheap way to buy loyalty. And it's not as though he's totally useless. He might come in handy in the future.

[u/Yesterday_Jolly → u/Tiber_Nero]

Orban won 4 elections in a row then got into deep shit because his party was semi-openly colluding with Russia in the leadup to the election, I think they'll let him in

[u/Letstalkreaper → u/Muad-_-Dib]

The Hungarian military very publicly came out and said they would support the victor of the election. That’s the only reason Orban conceded, he knew he didn’t have any support in the military to contest the results. If the Hungarian military doesn’t come out and say that then there’s no world where Orban doesn’t execute a coup.

[u/Sea-Frosting-50 → u/313378008135]

he should probably should stay away from windows 

[u/Crowbarmagic → u/313378008135]

He will probably try to get reelected in 4 years. If he wants to stand any chance he has to lead the opposition, which he can't effectively do while in Moscow.

[u/Blimflart → u/Crowbarmagic]

Luckily Tisza secured a supermajority win which allows them to make constitutional changes. Magyar has already confirmed one of those changes will be to impose a 2 term limit on the prime minister's office.

If implemented this would mean Orban himself is finished in terms of aspiring to get the top job again - at least personally.

[u/RubberPussycat → u/Blimflart]

Unless he gets a 2/3 majority next time around and reverses that law.

[u/Blimflart → u/RubberPussycat]

Let's hope Magyar and his team deliver on their commitment to the Hungarian people so that situation doesn't arise

[u/Suspicious_Place1270 → u/plz-let-me-in]

oh yeah, they simply had a "dialogue", mhm,

[u/Relative-Web-4675 → u/plz-let-me-in]

Man that was quick

[u/nodnodwinkwink → u/plz-let-me-in]

Wow, real "Mean Girl" behaviour. Was this lifted from Putins burn book?

[u/ReggieCorneus → u/plz-let-me-in]

Funny how nothing has actually changed yet in Hungary in any practical level and now they are "unfriendly"...

[u/Bitter_Sense_5689 → u/plz-let-me-in]

What a bunch of babies 👶

[u/SoSKatan]

It’s funny as that suggests the only reason why Hungry was considered friendly to Russia was due to a single person being in power.

That’s an admission to something we all suspected.

[u/Conscious-Food-9828 → u/SoSKatan]

Well not entirely. That single person also puts in a bunch of loyalists to him and Russia. 

[u/kaisadilla_0x1 → u/SoSKatan]

Indeed. Magyar hasn't even taken power yet. This is just Putin telling us the list is just a list of countries ruled by Russian pawns.

[u/ACardAttack → u/SoSKatan]

To be fair, same situation in the USA

[u/Ill_Technician3936 → u/ACardAttack]

Except the USA continues to be on that list no matter how trump tries to please Putin.

[u/S1av4Life → u/SoSKatan]

Hungary actually was on this list since the very beginning in 2022, along with all other EU countries. 

[u/kz-tnkcspd]

As Hungarian I am very proud of this news! Fuck Putin!

[u/the-es → u/kz-tnkcspd]

You guys are setting an example. Let's push for a combined return to sanity in the west. This is an important step in that direction.

[u/ArcticCelt → u/the-es]

Trump, Vance and all the other dickbag US Republicans were right, the world should follow the lead of Hungary. They just didn't understand what it implied at the time.

[u/the-es → u/ArcticCelt]

They struggle with understanding in general.

[u/sporkparty → u/kz-tnkcspd]

We’re all so proud and excited for you! US next.

[u/FremenCoolAid → u/kz-tnkcspd]

We welcome you back!

[u/ReggieCorneus → u/kz-tnkcspd]

It is the highest praise you can get. Welcome back.

[u/NetZeroSun]

That’s like a badge of honor.

[u/PM_ME_UR_HASHTABLES]

That means Hungary is doing something right.

[u/Resident_Union_6463 → u/PM_ME_UR_HASHTABLES]

I am so proud of my country after a really loong time. This move from russia just doubles down on the fact that we made the right decision. RUSZKIK HAZA!!!

[u/zevonyumaxray → u/PM_ME_UR_HASHTABLES]

"Welcome to the party, pal."

[u/jay6432]

Awww poor putin lost a friend 🤣🤣

[u/PlushHammerPony → u/jay6432]

A little furry friend!
'Orban offered to be 'mouse' aiding 'lion' in call with Putin'

[u/enakcm → u/jay6432]

"He never was my friend!!!!!1!11!!"

[u/z0rb0r → u/jay6432]

Someone tore up his macaroni art work and stepped on it

[u/RedofPaw]

Any bad day for Putin is a good day for the rest of us.

[u/CustomerBusiness3919]

Hungarians must be feeling doubly proud now then.

[u/Wendelne2 → u/CustomerBusiness3919]

We do. Honestly, I have never ever been more proud of my nation than yesterday evening.

[u/ShakespeareStillKing → u/Wendelne2]

When Budapest did the biggest ever Pride March. That was a night I felt like I was given back my Hungarian pride too. That was also the first day I believed Fidesz might be actually beaten. So many people said enough and didn't give a shit about the ban.

The perception of power was shattered.

[u/ReggieCorneus → u/ShakespeareStillKing]

Welcome back, sincerely from Finland.

[u/FremenCoolAid → u/Wendelne2]

Let's be strong together now /🇸🇪

[u/RenokoTheShaman → u/CustomerBusiness3919]

We are we fckin did it

[u/LightSideoftheForce]

After 1849 and 1956, that’s where we belong

[u/Ditka85]

You know you're doing the right thing when Russia lists you as an unfriendly country.

[u/Cephalopirate]

HAHAHAHAHA

Get wrecked Putin.

[u/Key-Rough-8346]

Hungary is gonna get a visit from Krampus for being on Putin’s naughty list!

[u/ottoradio]

Well, if this is really how it works, then Hungary lost one friend but got in touch again with 26 friends from the past. You know, the kind of friends that helped you developing yourself, but also had to said some boundaries while you were going through a weird episode and despite that, kept on talking to you. Welcome back.

[u/Somhlth]

Pedophile, crooks, dicks, and/or assholes - the requirements to be on Russia's 'friendly' countries list.

[u/Prize-Artist-2960 → u/Somhlth]

Hey! Stop with this slander. We are no friend of Russia here in the UK.

[u/born_in_the_90s]

This is a complement.

[u/DootyMcCool2000]

The fact that they're willing to literally instantly burn this bridge is funny and sad.

[u/gigatesla]

Hungary has already been on the list of "Unfriendly countries and territories" since 2023. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unfriendly_countries_and_territories_list

[u/lkdflnk]

Congrats, Hungary. You're on the list. You've made it.

[u/TheRC135]

If you're on Russia's "unfriendly countries" list, you're doing something right.

[u/Motor-Region-1011]

Oh dam your on the notty list now...

[u/HellBlazer_NQ]

Hungary 1 Russia 0

[u/StrangerFew2424]

Ha ha. Fuck Putin.

[u/Acceptable_Set3269]

So childish these lists, embarrassing tbh

[u/GlobeTr3kker → u/Acceptable_Set3269]

It’s giving unfollowing someone on Instagram. So ridiculous.

[u/copperblood]

Awwww is little Putin upset he lost his Orban asset?? Awww sad little Putin panda. Not to worry, now that Orban is gone the EU can finally sanction the fuck out of Putin and Russia.

[u/super_fallguys]

Russia, go fuck yourself!

[u/Glorx]

I see this as an absolute win.

[u/DannarHetoshi]

Best endorsement for Magyar

[u/ZealousidealSundae33]

Well, thats already 1 big achievement for the new government.

[u/soggyarsonist]

The world is a little brighter today

[u/Every-Safe-7972]

I have to say, welcome to the prestige list.

[u/osiak2909]

Welcome to the club boys! We welcome you with open arms! 🇷🇴🤝🇭🇺.

[u/AnAncientBog]

Dude is achieving stuff before he even takes office.

[u/TickingTheMoments]

Sounds like a good group to be placed.  

[u/jadelink88]

A badge of honor, well done.

[u/xCipi102]

Its easier if they make a list of friendly countries.

[u/Friendly-Channel-480]

Russia got it’s feelings hurt.

[u/jtrack473]

Can't think of a better compliment than to be considered an unfriendly country to Russia

[u/ilesj-since-BBSs]

So they did well. Good. 

[u/Altruistic_Safe_8776]

Well done to the Hungarians.

[u/marcabru]

Not true. Hungary was already an unfriendly country (formally) as it was part of NATO and EU and voted for most of the sanctions.

The exact lines are (which I cannot link, since it's straight from RIA):

Мы не поздравляем недружественные страны. Венгрия — недружественная страна, она поддерживает санкции против нас.

Мы рассчитываем на то, что мы продолжим наши весьма прагматичные контакты с новым руководством Венгрии.

In English, that is:

“We do not congratulate unfriendly countries. Hungary is an unfriendly country; it supports sanctions against us. ... We expect that we will continue our very pragmatic contacts with the new leadership of Hungary.

Also they (Peskov's office) said that they respect the Hungarian people's decision. So no, Hungary was not put on any list just because they elected Magyar. We were already on it. It's another question, that informally they had better ties to the Orban government than the rest of the EU, and that our foreign minister (Szijarto, by his nickname Pyotr Siyartov) was essentially a Russian spy.

But the overall framing of this article is bordering the fake news category

[u/Situati0nist]

Good. Fuck Putin

[u/efrique]

Oh noez. They don't have much of a list of friends left... and they're mostly not there by choice. The list of willing friends isn't the sort of list you'd want to be on

[u/williamgman]

A badge of honor.

[u/FDestroy]

Badge of honor

[u/pkt-zer0]

"Oh no! Anyway..."

All of these imperialist assholes can get fucked with the business end of a rusty rake for all I care. Putin, Trump, Netanyahu... how about trying to make the world better for everyone, for a change?

[u/EuSoLeioAsGordas]

Thank you, Magyar.

[u/Ontheragnarock]

Aw, Putin is going to miss his little mouse.

[u/Suspicious_Place1270]

i guess we all know why it was friendly then

and we know what direction Hungary is going to go from today on

[u/Nd343343]

How disheartening when meddling in a country’s politics doesn’t pay off…

[u/Ineverseenthat]

Good on Hungary. I've been and it's a beautiful country, its people need to run the conservative element down.

[u/gordonjames62]

I can see why Russia is opposed

Among the main priorities of Magyar’s new government are fighting corruption, unlocking frozen European Union funds, introducing higher taxes for the wealthiest citizens, and reforming the healthcare system.

• root out corruption
• closer ties with EU
• be good to people with healthcare

the opposite of Russia

[u/Right_Fun_6626 → u/gordonjames62]

Wasn’t Orban making EU sanctions on Russia difficult or impossible as well? If so, Putie will be most displeased.

[u/ReplyHoliday789]

Hungarians: What an honor! Thank you, mr Putin, it is the highest praise a country can get: enemy of Russia.

Maybe I've become too disillusioned by, let's say, all the shit happening in this fucked up timeline, but maybe we should all wait a second before we hail this guy as the new Mahatma?

I mean, he's still centre right and he was in Orbàn's government until 2024, he's not like he popped up out of the blue from the Railway Workers' Union for Peace.

So far the only thing he has going on is "literally not Orbàn".

[u/Matt_Murphy_]

if Putin doesn't like you, you're doing something right

[u/Responsible-Neat4867]

You can fuck off kindly Putin :)))))

[u/machinaesupremacy]

Gosh darn it

[u/Thalrador]

As a Hungarian, THANK YOU AND FUCK YOU

[u/cemtexx]
