Trading with the Eurozone seems a better idea every day.
The EUR offers a stable enviroment with clear rule of law, and with the Mercosur + India trade deals an absolutely massive free trade zone.
The USD offers nothing but inertia atm, and is using coercion to keep trade flowing in USD.

Orban is just a blip in the time scales the EU is operating. He'll be gone in a decade max. No need for any banning, when you can simply wait him out. All he can do is shout.

Oh, he gets that. He's just decided that debasing himself to keep the whole thing together a little bit longer is worth it, and in that respect he is right.

Yes he is and everyone knows it. It doesn't matter, though. Hungary will still be there when he is gone. He can't do anything but bleat and make things awkward. He can't actually stop anything.
NATO is under far greater threat by Donald, and the EU will simply outlast him. A decade is nothing.

Because of the Hungarian people. Governments come and go. The EU is built to work on longer timeframes than election cycles.

The point of that would be to have that freshly restored energy infrastructure be dependent on Russian resources. Sooo, no. They get to pay for it. They don't get to do it.

So he's announcing politically motivated reprisals and nobody is batting an eye. Just another Wednesday, apparently...

Time to call in some debt, methinks. Doesn't have to be all of it, but enough for it to be a shot across the bow.
