At this point, I'm almost positive that a republican US president could sign a treaty with north Korea, China, Russia, and Fucking Thanos, and everyone launches nukes, and world leaders and media outlets alike (that survive the ensuing shit show) would STILL beat around the bush and ask "What's all this, then?" like things aren't glaringly obvious.
"Well we can't report reality, or we might get accused of bias..." is getting old.
Is it possible to kick Hungary out of NATO?
And the EU!
would be good, but it would remove Romania, Bulgaria and Greece from Schengen by land route...not sure of the impact it would have.
Schengen land border is currently at Hungary anyways, removing Hungary would not change the current status for those countries.
Yes, but say you're driving a truck from Bucharest to Berlin...can you just transit if Hungary is just kicked out? Or will you need extra inspections and delays?
Yeah, EU regulations for goods transported by land would be a bit trickier. Sea cargo wouldn't be affected, though.
Hungary leaving would probably make it easier for Ukraine to join anyways, which would solve the land route issue.
they kicked themselves out in all but name when they said that they would not veto anything as long as they didn't have to do anything.
Maybe the EU should just fight the (typically Russian) passive aggression with some of their own. "Delay" this asshole's funding, while denying it. Ignore their requests, give them the runaround. Be a complete pain in the ass at every opportunity. Let Hungary pick themselves up by the bootstraps. Maybe they should vote for a better leader next time.
Kick those corrupt fuckers out if the EU, they are a danger

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
