🧵 EU should not give Hungary funds to deal with its impending economic crisis so long as it is working as a lobbyist for Russia. If they want Russia, then that is who Hungary should call for aid. Wishy-washy, kid-glove policies in the US, EU, and NATO are why we are here.
To change things, we cannot stay the same. Hungary is on the verge of economic crisis. Orbán's key source of funding will be the European Union. Orbán is not an ally, and he does not hide it. Make him choose. Leave people free choice. If HU wants Russia, don't stand in the way.
Same with Serbia. Serbia may choose whichever allies it wants, and that ally can provide aid. If Serbia wants Russia, OK. The US and EU should respect Serbia's choice and cease sending aid.
Leaders of democracies are inexplicably afraid of their own shadows. If you are too afraid to use your power to protect yourselves, Russia and China aren't going to hold back. Fear today brings war tomorrow. eurointegration.com.ua/eng/articles/2022/11/10/7150362/
