That was quite something.

The US vice-president JD Vance has just repeatedly criticised allegedly unprecedented and “disgraceful” foreign interference in the Hungarian parliamentary election, while effectively strongly endorsing Viktor Orbán to win the vote on Sunday in what critics will no doubt see as his very own interference with the country’s electoral process.

Without skipping a beat, he smoothly moved from lambasting European “bureaucrats” for “one of the worst examples of foreign election interference” he has ever seen and accusing them of trying to “destroy the economy of Hungary” to saying he is “here to help him in this election campaign” and that and he was expecting him to win the vote on Sunday.

Lavishing praise on the embattled prime minister, he argued that he sees in Orbán someone who “ferociously advocated” for his country, “stands up for the values of western civilisation”, and is generally right on all sorts of things from energy to Ukraine.

"Only the far right

Hungary’s elections are at our doorstep (11th april) and Hungary’s electorate will see Orban’s contestor Peter Magyar, fight strong manipulative influence from MAGA, Ruzzia & Orbáns Fidesz party.

It’s just despicable how Orbán & MAGA are working with the Ruzzians. Fck traitors.

Yeah. I remember this one from Macro Rubio the other day.

Imagine in Iran that instead of spending their wealth, billions of dollars, supporting terrorists or weapons, had spent that money helping the people of Iran, you’d have a much different country.

What was it? A $1.5 TRILLION budget request for this shit, but we can’t afford to fund social programs.

This goes so far off the scale of hypocrisy and lack of self awareness that I’m actually quite impressed. These fuckers just keep going lower.

Do you think he knows how hypocritic it is, or do you think he has lost all decency and self-awareness he just has the mental capability of a 90 kids robot dog?

The US needs to fall at this point. American hegemony is a threat to global democracy.
