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?

Wow, one of them actually did something useful. Was it by accident?

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?
