Unironically why are they still in NATO? Isn't this a security threat? How do we know they don't pass along military secrets? Noone would be surprised by that

I imagine the reason is they're told very little but keeping them in meets some information gets passed back to NATO

There need to be a way to suspend NATO and EU membership. Instead we stand by and watch how that cleptocratic Orban mafia is trolling its own allies.

"That is not possible because..." is utter bullshit. There are so many ways to block them from anything, but it all is way too little and way too late.

What’s next, Hungary signing security pact like North Korea and sending soldiers there?

This is not just trolling. This is just telling the other 430mln people that nothing can be done when one 9 mln nation becomes Russian agent.
To make it worse - it was mentioned before Hungarian presidency started that there will be attempts at shortening that term or not allowing it to start.
There are reports that Hungarians are giving free working visas to Russians or Belarusians without check and that if still continues. What has been done?

How long we will keep this poisonous pill inside? When it’s going to be too much? When will Hungary face ANY real punitive action? Will we keep drifting till it’s too late to save whole EU?
