Donald Trump will totally stop funding Ukraine if he wins the U.S. election in November, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said following a meeting between the right-wing figureheads.

“He will not give a penny in the Ukraine-Russia war,” Orbán told Hungarian state media Sunday. “Therefore, the war will end, because it is obvious that Ukraine can not stand on its own feet.”

The longtime allies met last Friday at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, a summit which was lambasted by U.S. President Joe Biden.

          I mean, we’re still fucking around in Ethiopia, standing up military juntas and extracting raw materials at sub-market rates.

          One of the nicest things you could say about Mussolini was that he absolutely sucked at waging war. Wish more European despots could claim the same.
