Orban is more hated by the left than even Trump because Orban won't go along. So of course he's racist and a tool of Putin and a Nazi and a Trumptard among other things
He also is doing what is best for Hungary not the EU or the bullshit war.

Hungary's divisive leader has once again got his own way with the European Union — this time in tough negotiations on Russian oil at a summit in Brussels.
And nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban wasn't shy about trumpeting his success in leveraging the bloc to win significant concessions, allowing his country to continue purchasing Russian crude even as war rages on in neighboring Ukraine.
The European Commission’s "proposal to ban the use of Russian oil in Hungary was defeated,” Orban said in a video statement on Facebook. “Families can sleep well tonight as the most outrageous idea has been averted.”
While the agreement bans all Russian oil from being brought into the EU by sea, it allowed a temporary exemption for imports delivered by the Russian Druzhba pipeline to certain landlocked countries in Central Europe — something Orban touted as a victory for Hungarian interests over what he portrayed as potentially disastrous recommendations by the EU.
Hungary — which gets around 65% of its oil and 85% of its gas from Russia — was alone among Ukraine's EU neighbors to refuse to supply it with military aid. It also banned the shipment of lethal weapons into Ukraine across its borders, a policy that drew the ire of many EU leaders and of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Orban has also blocked other EU decisions which require unanimity among member states, including attempts last year to issue a joint statement on China's crackdown on a pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong and a joint call for a cease-fire in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict — also in 2021.
“The Hungarian government, once again, got what it wanted, it was able to leverage the whole European Union,” Hegedus said. “(Orban) has only winning cards. He can practically deny the European Union an oil import ban.”
Along with Hungary, both the Czech Republic and Slovakia sought exemptions from the EU embargo, arguing their dependence on Russian oil made an immediate cutoff unrealistic — even though they have signaled their willingness to impose the toughest sanctions possible on Moscow.
Slovakia gets around 97% of its oil from Russia through the Druzhba pipeline, and has argued that the country’s key refiner, Slovnaft, needs to be reoutfitted to be able to process any oil type other than Russian crude, a process that could take several years.
But Orban's opponents see the pipeline concession as another instance of the autocratic leader dividing the EU to serve his own purposes.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Hungarian member of the European Parliament Katalin Cseh said Orban had “navigated Hungary into a desperate dependency on Russian energy.”
“He then declares ‘victory’ over the EU, whose solidarity and protection is our only chance,” Cseh wrote.
Serve his own purposes = not letting Hungarians freeze in the dark
Hungary was dependent on Russian energy and will continue to be so as long as the West goes along with the Putin plan to rely on rainbows and unicorns so Russia can hold the world hostage
Fucking morons

Orban is Hungarian for "doesn't take 10% off the top".

What about the Kurds?!??1 Wait does that apply here?

If you rely on Russia for 80 or 90% of your oil, what are you supposed to do?

Start working on plan B along time ago. But being landlocked in Europe surrounded by weak minded Euros who love to virtue signal rather than actually work on energy independence, Plan B is pretty tough as it would usually mean unreliable Middle East oil. The US should be working on Plan A, drill baby drill, but since it worked, it needed to be abandoned by the dementia patient as energy independence was putting America First which is a sign of white systemic institutional racism.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:If you rely on Russia for 80 or 90% of your oil, what are you supposed to do?
