For Orban,rebuilding the national team was a key priority,because he loves the sport & he believes it would be great for Natl morale & glory reflect on him. It’s been an expensive & largely unsuccessful effort. But making the World Cup would have been huge before the election. Came up short again

Aufgetauchte Habsburgerjuwelen: Wem gehört der Riesendiamant «Florentiner»?
Der verschollen geglaubte Schmuck der Habsburger liegt seit Jahrzehnten in einem kanadischen Tresor. Wie vor 100 Jahren debattiert Österreich nun darüber, ob die Juwelen dem Staat gehören. Auch Italien könnte Ansprüche prüfen.

Praktisch alle Kraftwerke, die mühsam repariert und wieder aufgebaut wurden, mit einem Drohnensturm in einer Nacht zerstört. Der kommende Winter wird die Hölle - und genau das ist es, was Putin will: die Hölle für die Ukraine.

📸 There's a story behind this breathtaking shot of Hungary’s opposition rally marking the 1956 revolution: Orbán’s government banned drones to try conceal the crowd’s size. Yet a passenger on a landing plane caught the scene in Budapest from above — the photo hit Reddit and went viral instantly.

💥Hungary's Orbán government-controlled media outlets are flooded with AI-generated propaganda—this time showing Zelensky “dreaming of missiles,” mocking his Tomahawk request.
The images depicting him as a child are especially vile after a Russian strike hit a kindergarten in Kharkiv.

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin cancel Budapest summit over Ukraine
White House announces two leaders have ‘no plans’ to meet to discuss ways to end the war
It looks like giving an electoral boost to Orban is not strong enough motivation for Trump.
Spare a thought for the average Fidesz propagandist who will now have to generate AI videos explaining how this is all the fault of the opposition/Soros/Brussels.

Opinion | Trump keeps getting played by Putin. Will Budapest be different?
A Russia-Ukraine ceasefire might be possible if only Trump would apply more pressure on Putin.
"the same tired old script. Trump flirted with sending Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, enabling Kyiv to strike deep into Russia. Alarmed, Putin called up Trump on Thursday and convinced the U.S. president to meet him in Hungary. The Tomahawk sale has been postponed indefinitely."

Trump urged Zelenskyy to accept Putin’s terms or be ‘destroyed’ by Russia
US president tossed aside maps of Ukraine frontline in volatile White House meeting
"The US president tossed aside maps of the frontline in Ukraine, insisted Zelenskyy surrender the entire Donbas region to Putin, and repeatedly echoed talking points the Russian leader had made in their call a day earlier"

None of us should put pressure on Zelenskyy when it comes to territorial concessions. We should all put pressure on Russia to stop its aggression. Appeasement never was a road to a just and lasting peace.

1994 wurde das Budapester Memorandum unterzeichnet, das der Ukraine keinen langfristigen Frieden gebracht hat. Wegen Putin, der nun über den Frieden in der Ukraine mit Trump ausgerechnet in Budapest verhandeln möchte.
