Reply to comment by Reselects420 in Sweden’s criticism of Hungary’s democratic decline is behind PM Orban’s delay in ratifying the Nordic country’s bid to join NATO, according to a senior Hungarian official by green_flash
Yes that's the dumb part. Hungary's reason for blocking Sweden would also apply to Finland if they were logically consistent.

It's been obvious for months now that the only reason Hungary is stalling is because Turkey doesn't approve yet and Orban thinks he can milk EU for releasing funds in exchange for ratification in the meantime, but the moment Turkey approves Sweden, Hungary is going to drop any demands and ratify Sweden immediately to not be 'the last one' to ratify and pretend to 'save face'
It has fuck all to do with Orban being Russian crony and everything with him being good ol slimy opportunist.

It's funny in a way. Like Orban's a mini-Putin who's convinced himself he's a tactical genius, and is entirely unaware that the EU has grown tired of his bullshit and is perfectly willing to call his bluff. At least I hope so. This can't go on like this.

I have no such faith in the EU.
Seems like a Chinese-designed scam at this point.

Nice deflection.
It's because Erdogan and Orban ride Putin like he's their daddy.
It has nothing to do with anything else.
They are Putin's patsies in NATO.
Simple as that.
