But that funding isn't going to be on it's way anymore and he now just gets ignored in EU decision making. He wanted a strong russia and that isn't happening.Nope.
Spent a long time creating a similar political and economic climate similar to Putin's. Concentration of huge amounts of capital and key market control concentrated in the hands of a few key allies. Restrictions on independent media and judiciary. Hungarian banks owned by Orban cronies were used to funnel much of the Russian money to Le Pen and others.
Genuinely dislikes the perceived liberal attitudes of EU and perceived Brussels interference in domestic issues. Presevration of national identity etc - the list goes on.
Despite sanctions still a Russian bank operating here as it has full diplomatic immunity - supposedly Orban hides his vast money as well as a front for Russian spy agenices etc.
Still committed to Russia funding and upgrading the main nuclear reactor based here in Paks.
What did you expect? All oil and gas instantly shut off?
They can't just up production overnight.
He still has allies on many issues apart from the Ukraine/Russia one.But that funding isn't going to be on it's way anymore and he now just gets ignored in EU decision making. He wanted a strong russia and that isn't happening.
In the end he's weakened his own country and will get nothing out of it in the end.
He can style it out but he's fucked it.
Interesting article linked in that particular twitter threadIt's unbelievable how badly Putin has fucked over the entire country... for nothing.
I've been saying it since the start that he's going to ruin Russia for a generation or more. Got pelters from some though.
he'll need eu money and the eu will make him jump for it and you can forget any more big international eventsHe still has allies on many issues apart from the Ukraine/Russia one.
Not that he wanted a strong Russia per se just that he "admires" the system where an elite rules and controls much of the wealth whilst not tolerating any opposition. It's a self-serving Nationalism much like Putin's.
He and his family and cronies have already got vast financial amounts out of it already.
Plus he is developing strong links with China giving the Chinese all sorts of favours which they can't get in other EU countries.
Plus domestically much of his "doctrine" is popular with the electorate. He has slaughtered most opposition in recent national and local elections.
He is a prick, not sure how he got in everyone where I live voted against himI wonder is Orban secretly regrets backing the wrong horse in this race? Russia are going to lose and will have nothing left to offer him once this is all over.
They secured lyman and are now building troop numbers again ready for another push I imagine cut off Russian supplies before winter, and they’re still pushing in Kherson direction a bit slower than the other days but still going.
Ukrainian troops have some fucking balls

Often seems to be looked just how many of them aren't regular troops. Speaks volumes of the leadership and training they've been getting.Ukrainian troops have some fucking balls
Listening to a guy this morning on the radio - saying that Russians making a tactical withdrawl to make space for a “heavy” strike - this is coming from dissidents talking from Georgia ( as they have exited Russia) to Russian Soldiers who are on the front retreating line - no idea whether any truth on it - but sounds a bit ominous ?

There was recent speculation around Putin wanting to drop some low yield nukes because of how shit his ground forces are
A tactical retreat is not legging it and leaving loads of your valuable equipment and shells behind.
Also if they tried using low yield nukes the west would wipe them off the map in that area
One minor detail, we would also have tactical nukes coming our way. I hope the defences are up to it.A tactical retreat is not legging it and leaving loads of your valuable equipment and shells behind.

No, no we wouldn't.One minor detail, we would also have tactical nukes coming our way. I hope the defences are up to it.
Who's been wondering about that bridge over the last week or so.
Looks like it needs a bit more.
The Chinese bit just a few years behind us then.He still has allies on many issues apart from the Ukraine/Russia one.

That link don't want to open for me.The bridge and rail link is Kaput. Crimean Bridge explosion 'just the beginning,’ Ukraine warns
Is there time?The rumour about nukes I’ve seen is a low yield test somewhere on the borders. If that happens NATO will step in an wipe the Russians from the map, China will abandon them completely and Putin will like be defenestrated. So I can’t see it. Been no words from Yank intelligence that they’re even preparing for it yet though.
The threat of nukes is way more useful to Russia than actually using them.
I wonder if they’re softening up the bridges for an attach on the south. They did similar in the West before launching their offensive
Nor me. Its because its rt news and theyre blocked in the ukThat link don't want to open for me.
