They betrayed those in Afghanistan who trusted them.
They betrayed Ukraine by withdrawing support, even though they had guaranteed the inviolability of its borders.
They betrayed Denmark, their longtime ally, by demanding Greenland from them.
They betrayed Taiwan by calling it “a small and distant island” while in China, increasing the risk of a Chinese attack.
Now they are withdrawing their troops from Romania and Poland, leaving Eastern Europe on its own.
We will manage on our own, because for centuries we have known one thing: if you want to rely on something, rely on yourself. But these betrayals will forever strip the United States of its role as a superpower. What kind of superpower does not keep its word? In our part of the world, a new superpower must rise to take America’s place: Europe.
@SwefootballEN Det är så charmigt med domarmissar. En halvminut för att kolla målet? Nej, då har vi ju knappt någon tid kvar för de underbara bengalpauserna!
Never forget the GOP lawmakers & right-wing media who babbled endlessly about Hunter Biden yet remain silent at the grotesque levels of Trump and family self-enrichment. And if you think the family's days in politics will be over when Trump Sr. is gone, you still don't get it.
🇮🇹 Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni literally destroyed Trump’s arrogance
🇺🇸 TRUMP — “Italy can be invited to replace Iran at 2026 FIFA World Cup. We must repair ties with Meloni”
🇮🇹 Meloni — “No thanks, we are Four Times World Cup Winner. We play by rules and we don’t need such participation trophies” 🔥
Trump thought he could butter Meloni by such cheap tricks, but it backfired. Meloni didn’t hesitate to show him his place 🫡
JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible
Magyar has spent the last few days meeting with Orbanistas who lied about him and his family incessantly, blocked him from addressing the nation, and did their utmost to keep him from winning a fair election. From Hungary's president -- who must invite Magyar to form a government before resigning -- to this state TV presenter, he's met them to say: "Hello, here's why you're out of job. Goodbye." Breathtaking.
New Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar finally appeared as a guest on state television M1 for the first time ever. Here’s what he told the journalist.
“We will suspend this channel's news service. This isn't about me; I'm not seeking revenge. Our people deserve journalism that reflects the truth.”
“We will nationalize the assets given to businesspeople and foundations during the Orbán era.”
“The Mathias Corvinus Collegium Foundation, close to Orbán, was transferred 10% of MOL (oil company) and Gedeon Richter (pharmaceutical company) for free. We will take back these shares.”
“After 16 years of the Orbán era, 400,000 Hungarian children in this country are living in deep poverty.”
“President Sulyok is no longer the president of this country in my eyes or in the eyes of the people.”
(In response to the host asking about his meeting with Zelensky as a counterpoint) “I get your joke, and I even like it. But your references no longer carry any meaning.”
“According to you, Germany has collapsed, there's no internet there, people aren't even having sex. The Hungarian people were laughing at you.”
“It was said on this channel that even my young children won't talk to me, when in fact my children live with me.”
(When the host interrupted him) “No host in this studio ever dared to interrupt Hungary's most corrupt and most lying prime minister.”
(When asked about the legal basis for closing the news service) “For someone on this channel to accuse me of breaking the law looks like a thief accusing the police.”
okay I guess I have to talk about Péter Magyar here.
Let me just start with saying, in a very unladylike way, that you guys seem to have zero clue what happened in Hungary in the last two years, you completely miss the point, and you're a disappointing bunch.
Let's go.
Record turnout by Hungarian voters was too much for Orbán's dirty tricks or to deny. He didn’t want exile or worse. Will see as his epic corruption is exposed. I hope this is the "Hungarian model" that applies to the US midterms, which usually have low, <50% turnout. Vote!
Hungary has chosen Europe.
Europe has always chosen Hungary.
A country reclaims its European path.
The Union grows stronger.
Magyarország Európát választotta.
Európa mindig Magyarországot választotta.
Egy ország visszatér az európai útjára.
Az Unió erősebbé válik.
🎯 Apologists trying to credit Orbán for conceding are intentionally missing the point. He would’ve done anything to stay in power had he thought it possible. Hungarians made it impossible. Trying & failing to destroy democracy receives no credit. He didn't stop; he was stopped.
From Hungary to the United States, nationalists always seem to have Moscow’s priorities and interests ahead of their own nation's. As I’ve said for too long, when it comes to the Western far right, it’s always money and it’s always Russia.
Missing my friend and colleague Boris Nemtsov on the anniversary of his murder in cold blood in front of the Kremlin in 2015. Even after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, even after the assassination of his most prominent critic, the West continued to do business with Russia.
