One thing we know of Orban is that he can be trusted with what he says.

I could have told you that too but you HAD to ask Viktor Orban...

If Ukraine falls then putin will press on to another country, perhaps Hungary.

Oh don't worry. He's already there. Suddenly all the old geezers from outside Budapest are vying for the return of "Communism", and the dumdums youngins are going along with it. Even though they don't remember how shitty it actually used to be. Nor that it wasn't really communism either.

And with 40 million ukranians to take revenge on for resisting him, he will have an infinite amount of stormZ units.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Donald Trump will not fund Ukraine's fight against Russia's invasion if he is elected US president again, Hungarian PM Viktor Orban has said.

The Hungarian prime minister has repeatedly drawn strong criticism from fellow EU leaders for maintaining close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, ever since he launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022.

Unlike many other Western nations, Mr Orban refuses to send weapons to its neighbour Ukraine, stating repeatedly that Kyiv is unable to win against a nuclear-armed Russia.

The Republicans - openly encouraged by Mr Trump - say they will not allow the bill to clear the final hurdle in the House of Representatives without first agreeing additional funding for US border security.

Russian forces have recently made gains in eastern Ukraine, as Kyiv experiences acute shortages in ammunition.

Ukraine is critically dependent on weapons from the US, the main supplier, and other Western allies to keep fighting Russia - a much bigger military force with an abundance of artillery ammunition.

The original article contains 457 words, the summary contains 168 words. Saved 63%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Why is Hungary allowed to talk so much shit? Theyre a NATO member nation, yet they swallow ALL of Putins balls.
