I mean there is abandoning ukraine, but this is stabbing in the back.

Surprising no one. Poland aren't happy about the threat as it is their contract.


From what I gather a lock on Starlink use would be location based, so it would also affect Russian use of it on the front lines. Ukraine has already been testing OneWeb as an alternative since Starlink 'mysteriously' began turning off at crucial moments. Hopefully its a feasible replacement.

Hungarians will decide whether Ukraine can join the European Union, Orbán says​

Any Hungarians or other people in the know about how likely it is this clown will retain power in the years to come? Some of the other bits in that article are about equally as concerning as whats happening here in the US. And im sure he s getting lots of help from certain American parties to stay in power.

I really think the time of peacetime niceties with the likes of Orban has passed. Time to get serious and get on a war footing. If the major European economies are in favour of Ukraine joining up, then make it so. Kick Hungary out while at it - again, it’s time to get serious and stop pandering.
