A top aide to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has drawn criticism for suggesting that his country would not have resisted a Russian invasion like Ukraine did, multiple reports said.

Balázs Orbán, the prime minister’s highly influential political director, made the remarks on the podcast of a conservative Hungarian news magazine.

Balázs Orbán, who is also an MP, is not related to Viktor Orbán.

“We probably would not have done what President Zelenskyy did two and a half years ago, because it is irresponsible, because one can see that he took his country into a war of defense,” Balázs Orbán said, the Hungarian outlet Telex reported.

    Where’s the flex in that statement? How is suggesting you’d have rolled over and let another country bully you better than the “underdog” country fighting back and giving the bully a hard time? I must’ve missed a memo somewhere along the way.
