Orban meets with a wanted war criminal who has been making continuous nuclear threats at Europe and shakes his hand.
President Xi Jinping has summoned his allies, including Mr. Putin, our Mr. Orbán as the sole EU “representative” (everyone else is unofficially boycotting this summit) and Mr. Vučić (President of Serbia – you know, the country our Mrs. Novák keeps promoting as a must-have new EU Member?)
I support Mr. Orban through and through, and an endless war in Ukraine is not in our interest, but, man, this is not a good look.
Victor shakes the hand of a war criminal who is threatening us with a nuclear war on our border. Victor shakes hands with Trump, a convicted sex offender and anti democratic leader. Victor shakes hands with Matt Schlapp, a closeted man who pretends that he is a Christian. Does Victor have any normal friends?
He has a choice. Shake the hands of Putin who again is asking for peace with Ukraine or he can shake the hand of Biden, who is a demented and lost grip on reality … I know which I would prefer.
Fed UP: Since Ukraine invasion was a Putin war of CHOICE, he just needs to go home If he invaded your country, would you be on his side? If someone comes into your house and punches you in the nose, do you wait until he decides to go, or do you throw him out?
@WTF … I think you need a lesson in the real history of this world. When you have done that / address me – until then place your fingers over your mouth and shush!!! .
Shake hands. Vik leads his folk down the path of infamy. It’s an old Hungarian tale repeated again and again Pity poor Hungary with hands dirtied . Shake Viktor, shake.
