Seriously speaking, the situation is risky as someone cornered will have nothing to lose.
My late grandfather told me a story of when he tried to shove away a rat snake (non venomous and harmless) from his shed with a broom, at one point the snake found itself in the corner and raised itself almost completely vertically with its head at chest height and mouth open. Freaked him out...
Cornered means desperate, desperate means anything goes. We must really hope there is not just Putin behind the wheel at the Kremlin.
For that reason, a communication channel must remain open. Maybe Orban is playing that role.
No, for ten years, he colluded with the Russians, aided their intelligence services, sold himself to Putiyn, and opened a route to Europe for him with illegal deals.
F***, he even wanted to exchange his currency reserves for rubles.
And the Merkel's have smoothed everything over for him, in exchange for cheap labour, Where I live the average gross salary is maybe not even 900 euros, A high school teacher's salary is about not even 600 euros.
For 12 years he has been stealing Eu money- I'd tell Brussels you sons of bitches for letting him. The country is rotting. only Bulgaria is behind it, not in everything. Huge corruption.
When the Eu started to close ranks against it though, all bets were on Putin and China, called "Eastern Opening". But to China, Hungaryf is nothing more than a speck, and Beijing has given it virtually nothing but fine words.
He stayed Putin, called in the Russian secret service bank, almost gave them diplomatic immunity, and so on...
But now he's suddenly out of breath, so he's communicating to Brussels that he's always been on the side of the West.
In the government media - that's 95% of the media at least - the internal message is that the Ukrainians deserve their fate, Hungary should stay out of it, Putin is right, etc., whoever goes with the Ukrainians is a traitor..
he's just afraid he could lose the April 3 election, and then he could go to jail...
