PHOTOS: Gigantic WW2 bomb found in Budapest
A US-made second world war aerial bomb weighing 500kg discovered by a dredger in the Petroleum bay of the Danube river at south Budapest’s Csepel district on Tuesday has been neutralised, the Hungarian army bomb squad reported.
The bomb had ignition devices at both ends and these had to be deactivated before it could be neutralised and then transported by boat to a depository. An exclusion zone was set up for the operation which has since been opened.

The real bomb today is the decision by the EU to hold back all 22 billion euros of EU cohesion funds for Hungary until its government meets conditions related to judiciary independence, academic freedoms, LGBTQI rights and the asylum system.. Why don’t you report this? Instead you have the misleading headline that makes it sound like everything is fine and dancy and Hungary is getting all that money — EC approves Hungary partnership agreement on cohesion funding. That is NOT what is happening. Hungary gets NOTHING until it meets the strict requirements of the EU charter.

Please realize that ”LGBQT-rights” are nothing but a tool to take our freedoms away.
It has NOTHING to do with peoples right to be gay or whatever.
This is a well known tool to divide and concour, please don’t fall for it.
EU was founded for the sole purpous of installing EUSSR 2.0.
Please wake up people, your childrens future depends on it.
It like the media here knows little about Ukraine – even in just the last 10 years. Ukraine violently got rid of a2 time elected president in 2013- corruption or something and replaced with western corruption or something. The now US president family was getting millions in Ukraine when he was Vice President. Soros was there at the beginning.
We hear more about Orbans family who they would like them go away- suggesting corruption – how much are you getting paid to push the narrative ??? Soros is the the biggest political money in the US and has had major success.
