This new nuclear power plant the Russians will build us from Russian money the Russian state is loaning us. It will cost 12 billion euros, and there will be a new law making everything related to the project state secret for 30 years, and the selection of the contractors involved will not be done publicly.

And you people wonder why it is important to lick Putin's ass: because they need 12 billion euros they can steal easily.

That will be a lot of financial kick-backs and skimming money off the top for a lot of lucky politicians and businesses who will be involved with this project.

Yes. Selling the whole country down the drain both financially (this means taking the biggest loan in the country's history, and that is saying a lot) and diplomatically seems like a small price to pay for that.

Yesterday Orban went to Poland to explain his pro-Russian shift, but did not have a warm welcome, so basically just went to receive some slapping.

His greatest previous supporter and idoliser there, the one remaining potato head guy even refused to meet with him.

And the genius of Orban's PR department: after this Polish party (PiS I believe?) declared that they refused a Hungarian request for the two guys to meet, Orban's main press guy stated "we never asked for a meeting".

Yeah. What do you do when there is a dent in your relationship with your closest ally? You try to save face by calling him a liar!

[Martinus]

Oh yes, he tried to be friendly but received a very cold shoulder from Kopacz (our PM).

The joint press conference went somewhat like this (when stripped of the diplomatic flourish):

Orban: We are friends with Russia but that does not mean we do not cheerish our long time friendship with Poland.

Kopacz: Oh yes, that. We also look back to many occassions when our friendship was strenghtened. Like when many Hungarians volunteered to help Poles fight Russians in 1831. Or when many Poles volunteered to help Hungarians fight the Russian intervention army in 1848. Or when many Poles sent humanitarian aid to Hungary when you were being raped by Russians in 1956. See the pattern there?

Orban: Well, we stayed friendly even when we were on the opposite sides.

Kopacz: Like when you sided with Hitler?



And because a picture of worth a thousand words, here's a picture of both PMs:

After going out of his way to be humiliated in Poland, Orban gave an interview to a Russian newspaper where he was happy to talk about what he sees as deep divisions within EU concerning the organisation's long term relations to Russia, and declares that Hungary is helpless in this matter as long as Germany is on the other side of the argument.

Then explains that it is highly unfair from the west that they try to condemn "more successful" (as in more successful than the west, economically) countries, namely Turkey and Russia, "just because their political systems carry less values from a western cultural point of view"

How long will the EU finance his regime?

Orban looks like a sex pest.

[Ed Anger]

Him and Biden will double date.

Fidesz just lost their two-thirds majority in a by election

[Martinus]

He also set a new standard by bringing flowers to a meeting with a female country leader.

That's good news... unless they lost the MPs to Jobbik.
