They've had two years to sort it out. No one's fault but their own.
I can't think of many other cases where you'd allow a country you're at war with to use your territory for funding said war.
It's like the whole giving them weapons but limiting how they can use them against the enemy. It's absolutely insane.
I don’t understand how Hungary could possibly be surprised by this. They’ve been running their geopolitical stance at a goodwill deficit for years. Hungary is the one country in the EU that has materially negatively impacted Ukraine’s war effort (that is: while other countries have dropped the ball at various points due to bureaucratic idiocy, Hungary is the only country whose leadership is fairly openly ideologically opposed to the Ukrainian cause). I know their populace is propagandized and everything, but maybe catastrophic oil price increases will make some of them pull their heads out of their asses and revolt against Orban.
You wish. Orban controls all the media there now. You can be sure the narrative is "Ukraine is just punishing them unfairly for calling for a ceasefire and negociations" or anothe nice story that will make them look bad.
Good. Bleed this Putin's shill dry. Fuck Orban.
Maybe Orban shouldn't have been so lovey-dovey with Putin.
FAFO.
FAFO: ~~Freaking Awesome, For Others~~ ... yes.
Fuck around, find out. Hate the trend of everything becoming an acronym. Had to think for a second there.
Oops ! My guess for "FAFO" was wrong ... tanks for the correct meaning ... i am from an other place // culture.
Orban needs to learn which side his bread is buttered on
I can't believe it's not Putin™
I'm surprised it's only partial and not a burn on sight policy.
What the fuck is Ukraine doing letting russia make money through their territory?
Why is Hungary allowed to pay russia for oil?
Weren’t there supposed to be sanctions?
They were given a grace period to ween off of the dependancy. Orban seems to have used that period to double down on Russian oil.
Now that period is over because they've shown they have no interest in getting away from Russian influence.
You don't use all your jokers in the first hand played.
Sucks that Ukraine didn’t get a grace period from bombardment of their cities.
Ukraine should fuck Hungary so hard at this point.
I guess this is the new Gas for Weapons program. Veto the prick if he complained.
Classic fuck around and find out
Unfortunately this will hurt the populace immensely before it ever even affects the jackass responsible for it. So, same story, different millennia.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
