Hard to Tell Them Apart? Orbán and Magyar Aren’t That Different

Regarding the excitement surrounding the elections in Hungary, in my opinion, the difference between Orban and Magyar is mainly that the latter is younger and slimmer.

I do not rule out that the fund that finances both candidates, as Moscow was, remains the same.

It is possible that Orban simply became too expensive to operate. He has grown up with real estate and many other things. The Magyars are hungry and cheerful (like Orban once was). For now.

Magyar is the same party as Orban. They are former party members. Plus, Hungary’s resentment towards the Treaty of Trianon has not gone away since 1920 but has only intensified recently.

Therefore, by and large, I personally do not expect any fundamental changes—our brains will also be composted with various id…s. Moreover, I strongly doubt that behind Orban’s rhetoric there are no circles in Europe that ask us a dumb question: “When will you finally die…so that we can continue to buy Russian gas and oil?” Otherwise, how can we explain why neither Hungary nor Slovakia was punished in any way for not giving up Russian oil, as they promised in 2022?

This is either a conscious policy (which means Magyar will also be used in this way) or a demonstration of the EU’s deep stupidity, which cannot punish anyone for deviating from standards. Such behavior does not happen in effective organizations. Therefore, Magyar can calmly do the same without any problems.

Moreover, the Americans have already pronounced a verdict on the EU—they will destroy it, in particular through various countries, because European politicians can produce nothing but streams of pretentious excrement. This applies to both defense and domestic policy.
