    Orban is a fucking russian asset

    He’s more bound up in American geopolitics. But then Americans keep smelling shit, then blaming foreigners for the load in their pants.

      Whatever his interaction is with American politics, I dont think you can blame everything Orban does on Americans. And would it surprise you to know that every fellow American I know hates and mistrusts their government? To be fair, all of the people I spend energy associating with are strongly progressive.

        Sure. He’s got a huge network of domestic supporters who are along for the ride.

        Will you distrust the government when it flips back to Dem control?

        Obama currently has a 90% approval among liberals. It doesn’t seem like they’ve learned anything.

          The dems who spend their entire existence kicking progressives in the face? those dems? I fucking hate them. I hate the republicans 2% more, but I still despise centrist dems and dont trust them as far as I could throw them. You just have to look at Joe Bidens history in congress to see what a weasel shit he always has been, and he is the patron saint of centrists.

          As for Obama, I wanted so much more out of him. His folksy shtick worked for me for a long time, but now he seems like a retired salesman.

        Orban is a fucking FSB puppet

        He came up through US anti-communist front groups and has turned his country out to Silicon Valley goons and evangelical reactionaries.

        So had Putin, at least during the War on Terror era.

        They’ve been peas in a pod under every Republican administration since Bush 41. At best, you could describe them as Rogue Assets, assuming you ignored how often they work to benefit American industry.

      Ok now provide sources that proof he has more to do with the US than Russia in politics.
