The only thing that interests this loser is foreign policy? What exactly would be the long term implications of a grab your ankles foreign policy?
Notice Russia is not on that list, India is strictly neutral, and Pakistan is a basket case.
So as clear as the summer's sun.
Trump will give Putin anything he wants, but a real president needs nothing from Moscow.
Why not go back to having kings and the questionable results that produces?

The demonization of migrants and racist dog whistles are similar and the vague nationalism.
I wonder if MEGA differs from MAGA in any significant way, for example implementing actual economic populism. Trump had this in his early rhetoric promising to take on Wall Street and Vance revived this theme recently but Trump always end up cozying up to big business and giving them everything they want.

Trump and the growing populist movement in Europe comprised of farmers, workers and regular folk will hopefully kill the oppressive NATO and EU regimes.
People are waking up.

Good man!!!!

So much for eschewing political violence I guess. Fortunately the Putinists are in such a minority, they know they would lose even at that.

Trump also said if he becomes president again he would not defend NATO countries that are not meeting the 2% defense target. That includes Hungary.

Orban and Hungary only survive because of the EU/NATO.

Kick Orban to the curb - invite Hungary back when they elect someone that shares our democratic values, not some Putin puppet and wanna-be...

Global fascism on the rise under the guise of nationalism, and calling for a new world order. Where have we seen this before?

Fortunately Congress retains the ability to declare war, and even among the MAGAs, there are those with a shred of decency remaining.

The only normal human in the room. Some of us just don't like world wars or nuclear fallout.

Negative or as we say - load of bs.
' Kick Orban to the curb '
Typical, D.C. mobsters again calling for violence against political leaders who look after their country and people first instead of just being a Washington puppet.

“Europe has given up defending its own interests,” Orbán said in Baile Tusnad, a majority-ethnic Hungarian town in central Romania. “All Europe is doing today is following the U.S.’s pro-Democrat foreign policy unconditionally … even at the cost of self-destruction.”
“A change is coming that has not been seen for 500 years. What we are facing is in fact a world order change," he added, citing China, India, Pakistan and Indonesia as becoming the “dominant center” of the world.
America is (just) 250 years old but, today, Europe is politically and culturally influenced by the US (—the US became the world’s number one superpower after the end of WWII). So, you don’t have to be an American to support Trump—a lot of people in Europe support Trump. Politically speaking, the threat of a new world order is real.
(I’m not a big fan of this Hungarian guy btw.)

MEGA sounds like a cheap copy of MAGA, but, like I said, Europe is deeply influenced by the US—we need a strong, united West AND a strong, united NATO.

And you just made my point for me why Trump won't commit if he doesn't have to. Thank you.
Fighto!
Of course Orban believes in a China-oriented, dictatorship-led "New World Order". He has signed his country up to China's Belt and Road Scam - it's part of the plan. Why would he say otherwise?
I guess he is - if you also love totalitarian dictatorships like Communist China, as Orban does.
To be fair, many people are terrified of or hate freedom, so they naturally support dictatorships.

May 10, 2024 — On Thursday, Xi said he and Orbán agreed the Belt and Road Initiative “is highly consistent with Hungary's strategy of opening to the east,”

Kissy kissy up to Russia, just trump.
trump was PUT IN the WH by Putin so that makes him a sputnik right from the start.
Why don't Hungary leave NATO if that bonehead is so damn unhappy?
bass4funk
Protecting and safeguarding their homeland, as it should be.
This admin does that with Zelenskyy, so what is the problem?
2 years of the Mueller investigation with 500 Dem lawyers and 500 witnesses say he's not a Sputnik.
They have their reasons I am sure.
TaiwanIsNotChina
And how are you going to get that with a US president on Putin's payroll?
TaiwanIsNotChina
A country as small as Hungary needs more powerful allies against Putin.
Zelenskyy is not a threat to the US. I know you will feign surprise at this.
The evidence was inconclusive. Fortunately what your ears tell you from the Helsinki summit is conclusive.
TaiwanIsNotChina
But meanwhile the failure of Trump to not be a weak peace of stuffing makes everyone question US resolve. I guess if the MAGA goal is to make the US irrelevant, they are succeeding.
bass4funk
I don't think Orban has to worry about Vlad.
He is to the American taxpayer and our pocketbooks, he is absolutely a threat.
I am really not surprised as to how low the liberals will go to.

Only a few more months of this crap and Trump is putting this to its final rest.
No, it's everywhere to read....fortunately....
bass4funk
You mean the left. That's ok..
Good.
TaiwanIsNotChina
You may not believe that Vlad will undermine the US, but Vlad believes he will undermine the US.
That's not a real threat.

No, a Dump victory means he owns European and Taiwanese security indefinitely. We will make sure to remind you of this if there are any setbacks.
bass4funk
He can believe anything he wants.
For most taxpayers he is.
Doubt it
Be right here in my office waiting.
