http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2015/01/10/hungary-is-ukraine-style-coup-possible-in-eu-and-nato-member-state.html Excerpt: The atmosphere is tense in Budapest. Its not the first time anti-government protests hit the streets of the capital with people chanting More Democracy! and Orban, Go Away! The last demonstration took place on January 2. The next one is slated for February 1 the day of Angela Merkels visit. The Victor Orbans opponents say they want to make the German Chancellor see that Hungarians choose Europe, not Asia (meaning Russia). Besides economic failures, the opposition accuses the Prime Minister of geopolitical arbitrariness or his pivot to the East including the plans to develop cooperation with Russia and China. Russia is an important Hungarian trade and economic partner outside the EU. The both countries have signed a general framework agreement to build two new units of the Paks nuclear power plant located 100 km from Budapest.The plant accounts for 42% of all energy produced in the country. Hungarysigned a 10-billion-euro credit agreement with Russiafor an upgrade of Paks. The loans repayment period is set at 21 years. From the very start Hungary tooka cautious stand on the anti-Russia sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union. According to Orban, Europeshot itself in foot with the punitive measures. The Hungarian Prime Minister backed South Stream. He expressed his regret that the gas pipeline project fell prey to the ongoing geopolitical games. He harshly criticized the EU, for instance he said that The project we call the European Union is stalled. As a Catholic believer and a father of five he rejects the freedom of non-traditional sexual relationships spread around Europe and comes out in support of traditional family values. It did not take long for the United States to respond. Senator John McCain said Hungary was an important country where Orban concentrated too much power in his hands. Then six Hungarian individuals allegedly involved in corruption and close to the Prime Minister were banned from entering the United States. The Budapests rapprochement with Beijing caused a negative reaction from Washington.

Where John McCain goes, chaos and destruction follow - pray for the people of Hungary that they don't end up like the Libyans, Syrians, and Ukrainians.

I got him caught outright lying.

The following links prove Kiev and John McCain lied.

Kiev has been caught outright lying about their own BUK missiles being active in the shootdown zone of MH-17. The Associated Press filmed them with the BUKs. Read em and weep. Link here: http://news.yahoo.com/photos/ukrainian-government-forces-maneuver-antiaircraft-missile-launchers-buk-photo-183322225.html

Keep in mind that Kiev and warmonger John McCain said they have no BUKs. Link to John McCains statement on live TV. At the 32 second mark of the following You Tube video, John McCain is caught outright lying on CNN saying that "the Ukrainians do not have BUKs".

It's quite a shocking example of pure, unadulterated hate and venom, wholly unadorned by rational argument. I don't see how your post contributes to constructive discussion in any way at all.

The author supports Jobbik, the Hungarian Nazi party, to give you some idea of the dishonesty going on here.

From the fascist shitbag who wrote the article:

The ruling FIDESZ and the Hungarian nationalist political party Jobbik headed by Gábor Vona are among the most active defenders of Hungarians living abroad. They have many times criticized the Ukrainian authorities for wrong treatment of Transcarpathian Hungarians. They want Kiev to create a Hungarian autonomy in the Tisza region. Visiting the Moscow State University in 2013 Gábor Vona said Russia defends European traditions while the European Union betrays them.

http://m.strategic-culture.org/news/2014/05/16/carpathian-hungarians-demand-autonomy.html

This is what Jobbik really is:

In a newsletter published by a group calling itself The trade union of Hungarian police officers prepared for action, the following was allegedly printed: "Given our current situation, anti-Semitism is not just our right, but it is the duty of every Hungarian homeland lover, and we must prepare for armed battle against the Jews." The editor of the union, Judit Szima, is a Jobbik candidate in the upcoming election for the European Union parliament. Haaretz alleged Szima "didn't see anything wrong with the content of the article."[102]

During spring 2012, Jobbik representative in Hungarian parliament Zsolt Baráth caused an outrage by commemorating 1882 blood libel against the Jews in Parliament. The Tiszaeszlár blood libel, found later to be unrelated to Jews, was known as first major anti-Jewish event in modern Hungary, predating the Holocaust.[103]

In November 2012, the party's deputy parliamentary leader, Márton Gyöngyösi, posted a video speech on the Jobbik website in which he stated: "I think such a conflict makes it timely to tally up people of Jewish ancestry who live here, especially in the Hungarian Parliament and the Hungarian government, who, indeed, pose a national security risk to Hungary."[104] As Al Jazeera reported, this led to "international condemnation of Nazi-style policies and a protest outside the legislature in Budapest.[105] Around ten thousand Hungarians[106] in Budapest protested against Gyöngyösi's anti-Semitic remarks. All major Hungarian political parties took part in the protest. At the protest, Attila Mesterházy the leader of Hungarian Socialist Party, described Jobbik as a "fascist possessions virus", while Budapest mayor Antal Rogán, representing the governing conservative Fidesz party, described Jobbik as "evil".[107] Jewish organizations responded to Gyöngyösi speech by describing it as a reintroduction of Nazism in Hungarian parliament and by describing Jobbik as a Nazi party.[108]

Putin is a fascist, as are his supporters and apologists.
