Requires breaking the rules of the organization and stripping an entire nation of 9.6 million people of its right to express its collective opinion.
The EU needs to deprive Hungary of its voting rights within the bloc to ensure sanctions on Russia stay in place, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna has said. Budapest has long advocated a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine conflict and called for restrictions against Moscow to be lifted.
Hungary is allegedly “playing on [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s team” and “not on our European team,” Tsahkna told the German newspaper Rheinische Post in an interview published on Saturday. He stated that Budapest could bloc some key decisions related to the bloc’s policy on Russia in the near future, since they require unanimity.
In particular, Hungary could block the next extension of sanctions on Moscow, Estonia’s top diplomat said. “If they block this in June, not only will the sanctions expire, but we would have to hand over the €240 billion to Putin,” Tsahkna said, adding that EU nations would then have to fund Kiev’s war effort with the money “from our taxpayers.”
How does anyone manage to listen to these sanctimonious clowns and take their opinions seriously? The inversion that comes out of their mouths on a regular basis is so diametrically opposed to observable reality and basic terms from the dictionary that it makes one wonder how they manage to successfully feed themselves. Are they so engulfed with lies that they can’t even tell the difference between truth and falsehood anymore?
And at some point, shouldn’t they be able to see that if their “democracy” requires all of these extreme measures simply to function at all, perhaps it isn’t worth preserving?
