When Ukraine wins this war, the people who actively lobbied against providing Ukraine with the weapons it needs to win will hope that the world forgets their role and moves on.
I’m here to assure you that as long as I draw breath, this will never happen.

The incident seems to me to be a test balloon for the Kremlin, literally "testing the waters" how the

It's extremely worrying.
People, and especially undecided voters should worry not only about freedom of speech, but also about the freedom to change their mind about the government and vote them out for themselves, their children and grandchildren.
Because this is at stake.

On the one hand, yes.
But on the other hand it makes a lot of sense, because there is another important point here:

Agree with a lot of this thread,but disagree fundamentally on the Kremlin's designs being limited to just Eastern and Central Europe.
The Kremlin's talk about restoring Czarist or Soviet empire is an influence op to make us complacent. The real enemy is liberal democracy itself.

The sooner he loses voting rights, the better.
Preparations to remove Hungary from the EU should also be initiated. Including removal from the Single Market.
However, Hungarians should be able to apply for Union citizenship, as should all former

citizens.
What
#Putin
wants is to keep and expand his power. Period.
It's not about Russia, ideology, Othodoxy, etc.
He is a Mafioso. It's about him and ideally turning his rule into a dynasty.
His biggest threat is democracy, especially in and near Russia. But in general worldwide.

If we had

She wasn't subtle in her pro-Russia and pro-Kremlin stance. It was very obvious.
1/7 Thursday's EU Parliament vote to strip Hungary's voting rights has Orban in panic. Despite signaling withdrawal from opposing the support package, it's a delaying tactic. Proceed, revoke his rights, and bid farewell to Hungarian translations of Russian propaganda.
For reasons of national security and based on prior experience ,

True.
But there is another important point here:

The funds are planned to be used "for the purposes of Ukraine's reconstruction".

This is it. When Russia gets ANYTHING in Ukraine, it will encourage every single dictatorial bastard in the world. Russia must crawl out of Ukraine, severely defeated, begging for mercy. Only this can save peace in the world. All other "compromise" BS ideas lead directly to WW3.

The Russo-Ukrainian war started at 4.30 AM on February 27th 2014 when Russian troops took control of the Crimean Parliament building in Simferopol. The invasion of Crimea was followed by the invasion of Donbass in March 2014. The war has been going on ever since.
