    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?

            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.
