Hungary was a key Russian ally in gumming up the works with the EU and NATO.

Is one of the best things to happen to the EU. She has been super supportive of Ukraine. She listens to the concerns of the countries of the EU which border Russia. She doesn't just give them lip service, she acts upon the concerns. She also works tirelessly to keep united all the EU countries. Orban evolved into a brick wall for the EU. With Orban gone, hopefully the EU can move forward from the evil interference of the kremlin and pootin.

It’s been going on for decades. I think there was a brief moment prior to 10/07 when Bibi overstepped with his judicial overhaul.

Then the attacks happened and he consolidated support and the general attitude decisively rejected any kind of two state solution. The country has since moved toward revenge against all other enemies in the region (first Hezbollah, then it’s sponsor Iran). Bibi found a useful idiot in Trump. It all aligned perfectly for him. It has also kept him out of prison. 10/07 saved his ass.
