I visited Budapest this fall, there are a lot of Hungarians that don’t support this government. That said, no matter how much it sucks for those people, it’s time to start looking at removing Hungary from the EU. NATO has no removal framework since that is counter to the nature of defensive treaties, but having hostile nations within the alliance threatens it’s integrity. Perhaps new structure will be needed to allow the quarantine of compromised members. At this point I would be very concerned if Hungary has full security access to NATO intelligence and planning, not to mention equipment.

I’d be fascinated to know how they think they’re gonna get the gas from Russia to Hungary, because Ukraine has said point blank they’re turning off the taps in the next few months.
