Finally one says loudly what everybody already thinks for years
I agree with the sentiment but how exactly are you going to do that? I think it’s an open secret by now that there are more countries than Hungary that are aware that they’d be next on the chopping block potentially and will quietly block this from ever progressing.
The only one that backed Hungary’s bullshit was Poland and they recently had a change in government and are in general not a big fan of Russia or the way Hungary is sucking up to them
Polish autocrats are gone (replaced by approved neoliberal autocrats but that’s another story). You have Slovakia that will reject this obviously. Behind Slovakia there’s probably Austria and half of Eastern European members and that’s just for the obvious ones. There are likely issues getting it by other small member states who will be threatened by the precedent.
Except for Slovakia and Fico which also gives Putin Blowjobs I’m not aware of another country fearing they would be next on the “chopping block”
Slovakia is enough but not the only one. There is more Russian poison in the system like Austria who’s going to remain quiet as long as there’s at least one country that’s openly against. There’s a lot of small member states that aren’t too hot about this either if they have even the least amount of survival instinct.
Survival Instinct?
What are you talking about?
Orban is a thief acting against the best interests of his own population.
You’re trying to write about the “slippery slope” for months now.
You know what’s really dangerous for small States in Europe? A break up of the European Union, if the Putin’s and Trumps get their way, and block further integration or unified actions via their bought Orbans and Ficos
I am not the one making a slippery slope argument. I’m saying it is a likely assumption that at least some of the smaller states are thinking like that. There’s 27 member states with very different interests even if they share values.
I want Orban gone same as the next guy, I’m questioning if it’s possible this way and therefore if it’s worth going over this over a 1000th time. I’m impatient like that ;)
