    Time for some pipes to go boom boom.

    At some point, you need to tilt the table a bit, because if you’re the only one playing by the rules, you’re getting fucked.

    Why not? Not like he is risking anything. Orban could be dealt with in 2 days if the EU wanted that.

      The EU has frozen funds for Hungary. The economy has some serious problems, which makes people angry. So angry in fact, that according to current polls Orban is going to loose the next election. The next election is in April, so not too far away.

      Exactly. It’s the ol’ American etc al.™ plan.

      See, you have democracy, but…gosh darn it, there are some bad hombres we just can’t do anything about until…ooooopsie doopsie they’ve eroded away all the rights and norms until they, one day, totally inexplicably, are in power.

      Golly.

    Sure … how is that going to get delivered? EU nations should just tax the crap out of the pipes.
