If it wasn't for the immense international pressure to side with Ukraine, I think Hungary would have likely acted friendlier towards Russia. Hungary and Ukraine have a lowkey border dispute (the Zakarpattia Oblast).

It is not border dispute, borders are clearly done by Trianon treaty. It is just Orbán's populism because of upcoming elections this spring. And he likes to build his campaign on "helping supressed Hungarians outside of Hungary" to bring sentiments from history, when Hungarian kingdom was much bigger.

I'm not having fun tonight.

Ukraine should get a fast pass to the EU, who do Russia think they are? :madge:

 

 

Yes, and a fast path into NATO.  It would be wrong to appease Putin.  Appeasing a bully only leads to more bullying.  It Putin gets the concessions he wants from Ukraine he will feel encouraged to invade other countries.

True! Hungary doesn't officially claim any territyory outside its borders, but that still doesn't prevent Orban from posting maps of Greater Hungary on facebook.. The claim is there, just not on paper.

I agree, if he invades Ukraine successfully, who knows what he will do next? Him, and other dictators that still unfortunately, are in power.

And it should be a surprise and totally kept as a secret, only announced after it's official

Very true. We saw how well appeasement worked nearly a century ago. Let’s not repeat the same scenario again.

In my opinion if you do this, all european countries will deploy their armies, who knows if Putin pushes the button. It's official world war 3. How is this going to end? Neutrality is what Putin wants, just give it to him and stop this mess

He wants neutrality so he can do whatever HE wants. The man has no word, no honor and no boundaries, no matter what you give him, what agreements you THINK, you made with him, he will disrespect them and do whatever he wants. He is a BULLY, he can’t be allowed to get away with anything, if we don’t stand up now we will regret it later. Yes, people will and do suffer now, but as harsh and bad as it sounds, better now and less then more and more later on.

But he wants more than neutrality.  He wants Ukraine to agree to never join NATO.  By agreeing to that, Ukraine would be allowing Putin to call the shots in Ukraine, making Ukraine not a sovereign country.  Ukraine needs to make it's own decisions.

Ukraine could instead offer Putin a treaty that Ukraine will never invade Russia.

Yes, Putin lies about everything.  Any negotiations with him are pointless because he won't abide with what he says.

Why wasn’t Ukraine part of NATO before all of this? Kind of convenient for them to want to be part of this now that they desperately need it.
