Viktor Orban is Putin's dream Nato leader

Having won election for the fourth time in Hungary, strongman Viktor Orban is going to be Nato's nightmare. Who needs enemies when you've got Orban as a supposed friend? He has already broken ranks with the rest of Nato and the EU by saying he's perfectly happy to buy Russia's oil and paying what's more in roubles which is what Putin wants. What's with this guy? Either he wants to be a fully paid-up member of the western military and economic alliances, in which case obey the rules agreed by every other member of the two organisations, or go shack up with your mate Putin and good luck. Orban has autocracry written all over him. He cleverly pretended to be all righteous and western-values-orientated and was welcomed into the Nato and EU fold but now that Putin and Russia are in trouble over their disastrous and brutal war in Ukraine he seems to want to back up his old mate by doing his bidding on trading with Russia. The EU is talking of penalising Hungary over human rights issues but basically if Orban is going to take Putin's side over the war in Ukraine he should be served notice that he is in breach of all that is valued in the rest of Europe and will face tough penalties or even be chucked out. All the EU money that has poured into Hungary to bring it up to western European standards has transformed his country into a modern economy. But now after winning a fourth term he has shown he is really a Putanite and ready to help with Putin's money problems. Orban needs to be confronted with a bit of reality. If you want to stay a member of the club, obey the rules!
