    Chinese police operating openly in an EU country. Orban and Putin are both going to turn their countries into Chinese puppet states.

    Can a country get kicked out of NATO? Because this seems like grounds to do so.

      Can a country get kicked out of NATO?

      No. Well, okay, if one party is in violation of the terms of a treaty, then it’s possible for other parties to nullify their own obligations, but NATO doesn’t impose a treaty obligation to not do anything like this.

      In theory, everyone else could just leave NATO and join a “NATO 2.0” that’s identical other than having Hungary in it, and it’d be functionally identical.

      I think that something like that would require a much more dire situation than appears to be the situation at this point. Probably something to watch, though.

    What’s unusual about it?

    He’s demonstrating his sabotaging of the EU & NATO, so he is demonstrating his real allegience with Putin & CCP, why wouldn’t they want to increase that, while the EU & NATO continue failing-to-appease-Orban?

    I don’t get why it’d be surprising.
