Ronald Reagan was in Berlin to tell Gorbachev to "Tear down this wall".

JD Vance is in Budapest telling the Hungarian people to vote for Putin's candidate Viktor OrbΓ‘n.

I have to wonder how much of the voting population

(A) is wavering in support for OrbΓ‘n or undecided

and

(B) would see a Trump/Vance endorsement as a reason to vote for OrbΓ‘n.

I’m sure there are some who will be swayed, but it seems like this could also push people away from him. How is the Trump administration covered in the Hungarian media?

It's even worse, as if it could possibly be worse, but as perverse irony goes, JD Vance in Hungary telling people to vote for Putin, when in 1956 Russia rolled into Budapest with tanks to crush their nascent push for democracy killing as many as 3,000 civilians, is the most insane kind of blind hypocrisy you could imagine. Their only crime was protesting for democracy. High caliber bullet scars are memorialized in the downtown area as I recall.
Good old "I Like Ike" abandoned them!

Half of my clan was murdered by the Russians during the invasion in ’56. The rest fled during the winter months that followed and found freedom via Austria. Well, β€˜freedom’—in Europe, they saw us as pitiful refugees, but also as discriminated immigrants. We were shunted from one place to another across Europe. Some never managed to settle down again. If I’d been there, I’d have shot those hypocritical bastards through the head. Out of pure revenge.

HalΓ‘l azokra a nΓ‘ci kurvΓ‘kra!

Trump's axis alliance is desperate to keep the EU trapped using fossil fuel.

The fossil fuel axis alliance:

Russia
Saudi Arabia
Qatar
UAE
Iran
Koch Network

They're equally desperate to consolidate global oil supply into the hands of Trump donors.
