Allies of Hungary’s far-right prime minister Viktor Orbán will hold a closed-door meeting with Republicans in Washington to push for an end to US military support for Ukraine, the Guardian has learned.
Members of the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs and staff from the Hungarian embassy in Washington will on Monday begin a two-day event hosted by the conservative Heritage Foundation thinktank.
The first day includes panel speeches about the Ukraine war as well as topics such as Transatlantic Culture Wars. It is expected to feature guests including Magor Ernyei, the international director of the Centre for Fundamental Rights, the institute that organized CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) Hungary. Kelley Currie, a former ambassador under then president Donald Trump, said she was invited “but declined”.
Why the closed doors? To quote their own rhetoric, if you’ve got nothing to hide, you’ve got nothing to fear. Oh right, he’s probably bringing receipts from their boss, Putin.
Who would have ever imagined the US appearing as a pro-Russian country by the Republicans? It truly is jaw dropping.
That’s what tribalism gets us.
Republicans don’t even need a reason to oppose something if the democrats support it.
Everyone should be independent.
Voting for a party should be seen as a bad thing, due to history.
fascists
But weren’t the republicans the ones that loved funding the military complex?
That’s what confuses me and makes me think any opposition to Ukrainian aid is just posturing for their base.
They’ll fall in line when it matters.
They all need to register as foreign agents now, right? Right??
God, imagine thinking everyone who disagreed with sending unlimited resources to a war that could be lost is a traitor.
Rationality is lost on us thanks to tribalism.
Well considering about a half dozen Republicans from the previous president’s inner circle were convicted of felonies for working on behalf of foreign governments, is it really that outlandish of a claim to make just a few years later?
