The other countries can just sign other agreements outside of the EU framework to bypass Hungary. Or maybe they will grow a pair, kick Hungary out of Schengen and make the border crossing painful enough to crash Hungarian exports.

Hmm. Could they legally kick Hungary out of Schengen without its approval?

Agreements outside of the EU framework - now that is indeed a clever workaround. I seem to recall similar maneuvers during the Greek financial crisis when the UK wouldn't agree to things.

Since Hungary is letting russians in unchecked amidst a wave of sabotage and terrorist acts by russian agents, they can use article 29 of Schengen Border Code to suspend them.

TIL! Yep, that gives the EU exactly what's needed to suspend them from Schengen.
