Allies of Hungary’s far-right prime minister Viktor Orbán will hold a closed-door meeting with Republicans in Washington to push for an end to US military support for Ukraine, the Guardian has learned.

Members of the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs and staff from the Hungarian embassy in Washington will on Monday begin a two-day event hosted by the conservative Heritage Foundation thinktank.

The first day includes panel speeches about the Ukraine war as well as topics such as Transatlantic Culture Wars. It is expected to feature guests including Magor Ernyei, the international director of the Centre for Fundamental Rights, the institute that organized CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) Hungary. Kelley Currie, a former ambassador under then president Donald Trump, said she was invited “but declined”.

Republicans 🤝🏽 Putin

[-] Epilektoi_Hoplitai@lemmy.ca 38 points 11 months ago

The brutal reality is that Putin's Russia embodies everything the Trump Republicans dream of for America: a boundlessly corrupt, white supremacist, ethnonationalist fascist state whose oligarchs possess limitless power so long as they obey The President.

They call themselves the "party of Reagan", while they trip over themselves to sell the geopolitical future of Europe down the river to Moscow...

Russians play the long game.

Republicans used to be their main political opponent in the world. Although cold war ended and relations changes, it doesn't mean that behind all those smiles their end strategy has changed.

They probably collected every "pee tape" there is and pushed every corruption dollar there was to push to make republicans their bitch. Because thats what they do.

Although cold war ended

I'm convinced it didn't really end. maybe on paper it did, but we seem to be right back to where we were before.
