Couldn’t put it better than you did. It’s a long shot before EU members agree on a unified foreign policy. I guess the 6 founders should be leading that effort.
In this particular case, though, Orban decides unilaterally to align himself with a regime which is actively fighting EU core values, thus endangering the very existence of the Union. I think there should be a mechanism, akin to the one used when a government undermines the rule of law internally, to make it painful when a ruler acts like Orban on foreign policy matters.
