One could say your reaction is strongly dependent on your relation to the one shooting rockets.
Hungary wants Russia as a neighbor
i dont think so. Orban wants to play the Russians, Chinese and EU to whatever is current opportunities are.
The problem with this kind of balancing act is, that it erodes your support much faster than choosing one side and sticking with them. But the EU wants some minimum level of democracy and efforts to hide corruption that Orban doesnt want to abide by. But i am sure he full well knows that the Russians would chew him up and fart him out, if they get the chance to.
Strange way to write North Atlanticβ¦
There is a non-negligible amount of revisionists in Hungary that would prefer to shoot rockets from Hungary's side as well and take territory from Ukraine.
Are we forgetting the very start of the war, when the Hungarian rhetoric was "we need to go to the region that is 'disputed' by Hungary to protect Hungarians from the evil Russia"?
