Quote from: Tamas on Today at 08:25:33 AMVery related, the "Hungarian" "Foreign Minister" (who seems to spend more time in Russia than in Hungary, he was in Moscow just this morning, days after he accompanied Orban and was filmed sitting on the Russian delegation's side of the table being talked at by his Russian counterpart for a while), announced the "happy news" the Gazprom sub-company operating the Turkish pipeline is going to relocate to Hungary.



It personally profits the Hungarian leadership to remain loyal to Moscow but it is horrendously risky for Hungary in terms of energy security overall. The country rivals Germany in terms of getting every geostrategic/energy policy decision wrong.

I literally had a dream last night that Hungary withdrew from the EU and everyone was wondering how long before Russia rolled in.

I have a bigger concern they may eventually end up being right for all the wrong reasons.
