Orban Falsely Claims That Hungary is a Sovereign Nation Not Beholden to Brussels

You took all this money, you’re not an “independent and sovereign nation.”

Saying this is like a hooker saying she’s an upstanding church lady.

If you do tricks for money, maybe it’s worth it, but you don’t get to then claim you have some kind of dignity.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban lashed out at the European Union on Monday evening in a Facebook post, reminding his followers that Brussels doesn’t dictate European affairs.

The European Union is not in Brussels. The European Union is in Vienna, Budapest and Warsaw, Berlin and Madrid,” the prime minister said.

Brussels is not our boss We are an independent, sovereign Hungarian nation. We make decisions together. If they’re not good for us, we’ll tell them. If they are not good and we can prevent them, the common decision will not be made.”

Orban has made international headlines in recent weeks for his blunt statements criticizing the West’s policies.

On July 28, the premier blasted NATO’s support for Kiev during a meeting in Vienna with Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer.

The Hungarian assessment is that the concept of NATO supporting Ukraine with weapons and training officers, and the Ukrainians fighting against the Russians, is a construct that has now been shown not to result in a Ukrainian victory,” Orban said at a press conference.

Well, that’s definitely a true statement.

I support Orban doing this, of course. Of course he should side with Russia and try to escape the sinking ship of the EU, and if he pulls it off, it will be an amazing feat.

It will be like a hooker spending her teens and twenties hooking and then managing to land an upstanding man of wealth and fame at the age of 27. If I saw a woman do that, I would say: nigga, this bitch be playing dirty, be she be winning.

Whether you’re a woman or a government, it’s the same thing: dignity doesn’t really mean much. The only thing that matters is winning.

So, hey – whatever. I support Orban supporting Russia and wish him only the best, as I’ve wished every hooker I’ve known to marry a rich man when she hits 27.

I just feel the need to point out that this whole “but this wasn’t part of the deal, Ursula!” thing is a sham and a hoax, and it definitely was part of the deal; he for sure took the money and now he’s trying to run.

It’s the old “chicken thief’s dilemma” from Plato or Aristotle or whatever.

That dilemma overlaps directly with the classic Cinderella dilemma, also known as the hooker-princess dilemma.

Both those dilemmas overlap with the reformed crime boss dilemma and the EU swindler dilemma.

In Gloomhaven there’s an encounter card you draw on the way to a mission that says you come upon the city guards trying to catch a criminal who is escaping them. It doesn’t tell you what the criminal did or anything, but gives you the option to help the guards or help the criminal. I just defaulted to helping the criminal.

I like criminals who get away clean, okay?
