      As Magyar says: "I believe that if the country is a member of the International Criminal Court, and a person who is wanted by the court enters our territory, then that person must be taken into custody,”

      I wish this wasn’t even up for debate. He is wanted by the ICC, so for any country that is part of it, it shouldn’t matter who he is. Just arrest him.

        Every time that doesn’t happen it sort of reduces the credibility of the ICC, which is what most Putin-huggers want, I suppose. We need to make sure it doesn’t keep happening, like it did in Hungary and Italy last year.

          LOL ‘Putin-huggers’
          The ICC Kangaroo court is a farce.
          They are only there to punish enemies of the US regime.
          The double standards of the ‘rules based order’.
          No americunt or shitraeli war criminal will ever stand trial there.

        Huh, I have seen a lot of people saying that, but pro-EU doesn’t mean anti-Russia / Putin.

        (I hope I am wrong, just seems like a lot of enthusiasm for this guy here without actually looking under the table to see where his hands are, I want to be wrong, but have a bad feeling).

          He’s decidedly anti-Russia, Russia literally sent people to Hungary and expended considerable resources to prevent him from getting elected.

            Can you provide a source where he has taken an anti russia action in an official capacity, or an anti russian speech he has given? A declaration that Putin would be arrested for war crimes if he came to Hungary?

            Russia spends lot of money on lots of things in the intelligence world, so yeah he might be a little worse for Russia, but that doesn’t mean he is anti-Russia.

            Not trolling, honestly asking for a source.

            I don’t disagree with his feelings on Benjamin, so I am not trying to make this into a straw man, but I think it is reasonable when making declarations about arresting world leaders for war crimes, that you should apply that across the field, especially when they are happening to a close neighbor.

            I imagine its easier to be tough on Israel because they don’t provide natural gas or other important resources.

      Do you actually pay attention to the news, or just like throwing around whataboutisms?

        Seems like a silly rhetorical question when you review the actions of Hungary in regards to Russia, they have been largely friendly when compared to the actions of other states within the EU.

          You need to crawl out from under your rock. The new PM is there because of an ousting of the pro Russia orban. The whole country was celebrating his win by telling off Russia.

          yeah that’s… that’s why there was an overwhelming movement to oust the old PM and bring in this new PM. if he were to be pro-russian at this moment it would be political suicide
