Hungary ratifies Finland's NATO bid

Now just Turkey left...

News came out today about Finland and Sweden both buying SAKO ARs as the future gun platform for both countries' militaries. All NATO compatible. <3

Hungary ratifies Finland's NATO bid

During discussions, opposition MP Elöd Novák said Hungary should not permit Finland and Sweden to join Nato.

In 2014, the party was described as an "anti-Semitic organization" by The Independent and a "neo-Nazi party" by the president of the European Jewish Congress.

Ah, yes. Who would have thought that the Nazis are anti-NATO and pro-Russia. Shocking.

I saw ^_^ no more AK copies.

[Lahis]

that sounds like complete bullshit.

Manufacturing ammunition takes up loads of energy.

Hosting giant server farm also takes up loads of energy.

Unfortunately, this ammunition factory is located next to TikTok server farm, and the grid cannot supply them both at full power.

Not comlaining about the RK though. AK models have proven their track record of being reliable and nigh industrible weapon.

Russian talking heads are nuts

Seriously though how disconnected from reality can you be?

Just another reason MAGA gets on well with them...

Moldova is going to hold joint military training with Romania, the US and the UK. Just another backfire in pootie's plans.

I'm just amazed how she can square it in her mind that the RUSSIAN vaccine has be compromised to attract HIMARS missiles TWO years before this war even started...

Good, that's gonna put a damper on any ambitions in that direction.

And China is annoyed about nukes in Belarus. How much you wanna bet that putin had told Xi he wouldn't or that he neglected to mention this to him at all. Either way this is a bit of a slap in the face of Xi.

Novák has left Jobbik when the latter decided to de-radicalise and tried to go mainstream. His new party is more mask off than Jobbik ever was about being both a Nazi party and being a Russian sockpuppet. Also, for a supposed opposition party, they are weirdly in sync with Orbán.

There is some speculation that rhe nukes are in retaliation for China moving in on the central Asian states which russia considers its own.

[Iphie]

So...bite the hand that feeds you? Well that seems right on brand for the russians...That's definitely gonna put a bit of a freeze on that friendship.

[Gabriel]

Science has not come up with wide enough scale to measure the depth of my smugness if China pulls off "little green men" or "concerned locals" in some Russian border oblast.

They sound like a charming bunch.

I'm a bit confused. What nukes are we talking about here? The ones in Belarus, or am I missing something and the Russians are now aiming nukes at China or something?

[Corvus]

Yeah, those ones. China has a very clear view nukes should not be housed outside the country that owns them. For russia to do it right after the meeting and when China was organising a get together of central Asian states without russia, it's little wonder Xi isn't happy.

[alach]

What payback looks like...

[Flarelaine]

They sound like a charming bunch.

Their only raison d'être is someone being to the right of Orbán so he can claim he's still in the centre. Also pulling PR stunts which are still too extreme for Orbán, such as the performative grinding of a book promoting acceptance. (Apparently burning books is a line wannabe Nazis still dare not cross.)

If that happens, sauna and drinks on me XD

I'd blame Ork Snipers personally.

Challengers, leopards, strykers, marders and bradleys are arriving in Ukraine, and training on them is complete. Ukraine's counter-offensive is likely to start soonish.

Yeah, they really do not like this idea, because if it can be justified and accepted that russsia houses nukes in Belarus, there is no reason the US couldn't do the same in Taiwan.

Or South Korea, Japan, Viet Nam, Philippines and so on...

China is a lot more responsible with their weapons than russia, though.

Welp, International Olympic Committee allows Russians and Belarusians to participate in individual disciplines under neutral flag.
