    How does wanting some lip service to be inserted into the agreement, to at least ally to some performative degree Hungary’s concerns about where their energy is going to come from if it can’t be Russia, translate into “pockets full of cash”?

      The “cash” is for his political career, not himself if course. Could have worded that better.

        So he’s trying to do popular things, in this case by being slightly cautious about the energy supply for his country on behalf of his constituents, and you summarized that decision with “pockets full of cash”? “Cash” meaning his political career. Have I misunderstood something?

          Slightly cautious?

          He’s a massive POS and blackmails things like this out of the EU, usually using vile ways like this one. Or do you think he legitimately thought Lukachenko won the “election”?

            It is incredibly difficult to get you and the other person to explain what you mean.

            Can you simply explain what you mean by “things like this”? And “vile ways like this one”?

              I feel you do not argue in good faith.

              Look up Orban in the news the last 3-4 years if you are sincerely interested.

                I’m not "argue"ing. I’m asking what the fuck you’re talking about, because I cannot make any sense of what you keep vaguely hinting at. Why that is offensive to you, I have not the slightest idea, but okay.

        I did, and for some reason, you answered. So you weren’t trying to answer the question “Allegedly by who?” when you replied to that question?

        I’m sorry if I seem prickly about it, but vague insinuations of corruption which then evaporate into silence or deflections when questioned even slightly seem like kind of a bad-faith thing to throw around. Right?
