As an American I suggest the EU finds a way to make it work, even if y'all need to take a crowbar to Orban's knees (proverbially) to get him to cooperate. Holding together as political entity is hard, ugly work, and sometimes you need to get ugly to maintain unity.

What you don't want to do is commit was crimes. That should always be a hard line. One out own government has crossed all too often. But it's hard to live up to ideals. But if you sink to the same level as Putin, you're not really winning.
