Sen. James E. Risch, the top Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, is halting a $735 million U.S. arms sale to Hungary as punishment for the country’s refusal to approve NATO membership for Sweden, a rare move aimed at pressuring Budapest into greenlighting the military alliance’s expansion ahead of a major summit next month.

Seen from Europe, the question is for how much more time and at how many excess Ukranian lives is Poland-PIA going to support Orban.

And maybe there should be a list of European companies that still stay in Hungary. Anybody up for this?

If finland was worth some f16 upgrades to turkey, then sure a boatload of himars would be a reasonable trade for sweden? If not, US could always send them to Ukraine?
