On the one hand, his ideology is more or less identical to Orban’s (he used to be a Fidesz party member until two tears ago).

On the other hand, he is somewhat EU friendly, supports Ukraine and, most importantly, is the head of a different party. 16 years of Fidesz rule is over. That’s not nothing.

Normally I get angry at these pathological liars but this lie is so absurdly stupid that it’s actually funny.

Imagine someone driving their van to a parking lot near the white house and then going “Welp, better strap on my suicide nuke that will obliterate the entire city. I see no other way of doing this.”

Imagine if Iran had allied with ISIS, killed the US President and bombed several US schools, then a couple of weeks later Iran’s leader goes “anyway, we are winding down this war. It is someone else’s problem now.”

That’s not how war works.
