      Another layer of irony, US conservatives love Viktor Orban of Hungary and even I had him speak at CPAC.

        A few days ago Hungary’s minister of foreign affairs said that if Trump was president the war in Ukraine never would have happened because Putin feared Trump too much. What a fucking joke, can’t decide which dick to suck.

        Third layer of irony is that conservatives and tankies agree on something: Authoritarian governments are cool because they oppose the fairly liberal modern western society.

      It’s not much ironic considering how… fascism-leaning Hungary always was, historically. It was a large faction of Hungarian native politicians who invited Soviet intervention in the first place. The Hungarian secret service at the time also shot at protesters, which escalated the protests. Moscow at the time wasn’t an entire culprit, that changed with 1968. But internal power struggle is at core of these interventions, to legitimise them Moscow needed collaborationists.
