    Since when is bullying other countries alright? Those are strategic reserves for real emergencies. To keep the show going _at all_.

    What a fucking narcistic war monger clique.

        Isn't that basically the whole point of an economic union?

        So when Trump attacks individual countries like this, there can be a union level response?

            If the government in power didn't want the EU, why should the EU love them back? Also, that government was in the meantime kicked out by its own population, so your complaint is a bit dated.

            Hungary violated EU rules. When you join a club you have to play by the rules.

            For all it's typical nationalistic bluster Hungary is a poor country that needs the EU more than the other way around.

            Are you just mad about having your CPAC/Mathias Corvinus Collegium funding cut off?

            Well, if the policy is to sell its vote membership rights to international adversaries that is to be expected, no?

            Oh you mean the fascists?

            Another advantage of unions like that is to shut down that kind of thing, which is exactly what happened.

            Are you really annoyed about that?
