Wild to watch Orbán wrap himself in 1956 and then use that memory to sneer at Ukrainians getting shelled by Russia. You can argue about sanctions, aid levels, all of that. Fine. But acting like saying "no" to Kyiv is some brave anti-imperial stand is upside down. Hungary knows what it looks like when Moscow decides your sovereignty is optional. That's the part that gets me. This whole "Zelensky puppet" line is just domestic campaign sludge dressed up as patriotism. I don't think every critic of more Ukraine support is pro-Putin. I do think Orbán knows exactly what fear and grievance he's feeding, and it's ugly.
