Bailed you boys out on FIFA too.

Infantino is such an improvement.

Good. I saw a rumour that Hungary will quietly accept air transfers of military equipment to Ukraine through their air space which if true means they are scared and trying to patch things up without having to abandon the pro-Putin pose.

The Hungarians took a good hand and played it very badly.   The Russians added them anyway to their 'unfriendly countries' list a couple months back. Hopefully nothing bad happens to the Turkstream pipeline in the next 15 years.

Getting some mixed signals. "No gender?" 

[Valmy]

Everybody must stay in the same location they were born for their entire life. Nobody can have a gender. Nobody can fight a war.

Seems pretty straightforward 

Kind of a radical vision for society.

[Duque de Bragança]

Yeah, leave gender to grammar. Sex and sexuality are different.

I don't see where he said sex and sexuality are the same but I am not familiar with every aspect of the radical social engineering Orban is interested in.

A common confusion among puritans and/or protestants, which lead often to use of gender as a euphemism.
Guess what, Orban is a calvinist convert. 
More of a 19th century thing among prudes in France.

I remember seeing sometimes gender (not translated as genre) or gendérisme (sic) in French but it's no longer in use,  I think.

What? Who would do such a thing?

He did not do it, he was predestinated.

The newly appointed Chief of Staff of the Hungarian armed forces explained in an interview that regarding the government's "efforts for peace" people should consider Germany's invasion of Poland as an example. That "began as a local conflict" but because "nobody was willing to step up for peace" it "escalated into a global conflict".

What the hell does he mean by that? And what exactly is the current government doing in their effort for peace?

If the Chief of Staff of the Hungarian Armed Forces thinks that we lacked people saying vague and meaningless platitudes in 1939, I can assure him there were in fact lots of those going around at the time.
