Finally a realistic estimate of China's military spending. $700B in real terms / $1.2T PPP-adjusted sure feels credible given the massive investments China is making in their army, navy, air force, nuclear, etc. China is preparing for war. Cc @ElbridgeColby

@zoltanspox @PM_ViktorOrban Tisza is the Hugnarian National Government. Orban is the Russian government.

🇭🇺 @PM_ViktorOrban: If we do not want Hungary to be stripped of its resources, we need a national government 📍 At a campaign rally in Szentes, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said the upcoming election will decide whether Hungary keeps a national government or ends up with a pro-Ukrainian one, stressing that the real question is whether Hungarians’ money stays in Hungary or is sent to finance the war. 🛠️ Turning to the past four years, PM Orbán described them as unfair, saying Hungary had to work under the shadow of war and deal with crises it did not cause. Even so, he stressed that the government delivered on its most important promises: Hungary stayed out of the war, support for families continued, young people received new opportunities, and the work-based economy remained in place. 🏗️ Prime Minister Orbán highlighted several measures as proof of that record. He pointed to the fixed 3 percent home loan for first-time buyers, tax exemptions for those under 25, support for young mothers, doubled family tax benefits, and the lifetime tax exemption for mothers with at least two children. He also said employment had risen from 3.6 million in 2010 to 4.7 million today and pledged that this could reach 5 million by the end of the next cycle. ⚖️ The central message of the speech, however, was the choice facing voters. PM Orbán underlined that the election this April will decide whether Hungary has a national government or a pro-Ukrainian one. He argued that Brussels wants to finance the war through large loans for Ukraine, even though the European Union does not have the money itself. Instead, he said, Brussels would borrow from banks, pass the funds on to Ukraine, and then leave member states to cover the debt when repayment never comes. 💶 Prime Minister Orbán said he had personally seen the proposed loan agreement and had kept Hungary out of it. He warned that if a pro-Ukrainian government came to power, Hungary would also be drawn into these war loans, and even our children and grandchildren would end up paying the price. ⛽ He also warned that Hungary is under pressure to give up cheap Russian energy. PM Orbán said that if Kyiv, Brussels, and the Tisza Party succeed in cutting Hungary off from eastern supplies, household utility bills could triple, and fuel prices could rise to around HUF 1,000 per liter, taking a full month’s income out of many family budgets. 🤝 The prime minister added that Hungary has already done everything that can be morally expected to help Ukrainians fleeing the war by giving them shelter, food, work, and schooling. But he insisted that no country can ask Hungary to destroy itself in order to help another. 🛡️ In closing, Prime Minister Orbán said the next four years will experience, calm judgment, and firm leadership. Hungary, he stressed that it must again say no to war, to foreign pressure, and to being stripped of its resources. Fidesz is the safe choice, PM Orbán said, urging voters in Szentes to support the governing parties on April 12.

@20committee Eastern Europe would. Western Europe, not so much.

Honestly, much of NATO wouldn't go to war with Russia over, say, the Baltics (I hate to say this, but it's the truth) -- it's a bigger problem than Trump.

🚨 The guy on the left was arrested and convicted for illegally selling missiles to Iran during the Reagan Administration. The guy on the right is a Fox News "military analyst” who thinks Iran shouldn't have missiles. They're the same guy.

@andrei_no_no @Tatarigami_UA I disagree. Russia also has interceptor drones. Biggest problem for the Iranians will be logistics. Russia and Ukraine have (sort of) control of its airspace and (air) fire control over the zero line airspace. Iran would not, not even hundreds of km behind zero line.

@Tatarigami_UA finally someone with a clear mind talking about this. also the counter drone strike/jam abilities of US/Israel in an uncontested airspace are far superior to whatever Russia can muster.

There’s been a lot of discussion about the potential threat FPV drones could pose to US forces on the ground, with some going as far as claiming that American troops would suffer heavy casualties from FPV drones. That’s possible, but it’s also worth questioning the assumptions:

@adoreleschat @RostatAlberto @mfa_russia @AmbRusFrance Would you prefer she suffers Navalny's fate? Or Nemtsov's? Or Politkovskaya's ? And there are countless others.

@RostatAlberto @mfa_russia @AmbRusFrance "...she will receive a fair trial", under the Macron's government. You must be kidding 😁

💬 #Zakharova: In November 2025, Russian citizen Anna Novikova was detained in France on a far-fetched pretext. This is yet another example of the Russophobic spy mania that has gripped France. ❗️ @mfa_russia & @AmbRusFrance will do everything possible to secure Anna's release.

@zoltanspox @FM_Szijjarto Only a few days ago he was saying it's all a lie and fake news. It's great he was wiretapped - now we have proof and he cannot gaslight us anymore. The real scandal is that he was Lavrov's errand boy.

🚨 @FM_Szijjarto: It is a gigantic scandal that a European foreign minister is wiretapped and the recordings are released days before an election. This is blatant foreign intelligence interference, and Hungary will defend its sovereignty.

@JJCarafano Europeans should better think hard about the world they want to live in. Choice 1: USA wins the war with Iran and continues to guarantee the safety & security of the West and Middle East. Choice 2: USA disengages, Iran "wins" by virtue of not capitulating - and grows emboldened

Not sure why people root for failure

This video breaks my heart every single time. A little boy, just 3 years old, wounded during one of Russia’s attacks in 2022, crying out: “Where is my dad?”. Those words are almost impossible to listen to. Russia must pay for everything it has done.

@JJCarafano No it's not. Ukraine has unique, cheap anti-drone technologies that no Western NATO country has (including the USA). Gulf allies already have plenty of Patriots, AIM120s, Meteors and other missiles that cost $200K+ each and can't be used cost effectively to down $20K drones.

Ukraine has given more support to U.S. allies in the Gulf than NATO allies. Is that weird or what?

@mfa_russia Russia and the Soviet Union deported tens of thousands of Romanian speakers from the Moldovan SSR, destroying the fabric and cultural identify of the region. Russian speakers have been moved in to replace the deported families. You'd better shut up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_de…

💬 #Zakharova: The European integration model being imposed on Chisinau offers a vivid example of the colonial policy by Western powers. Moldovan authorities have been eagerly gone along, undermining both Moldova’s statehood and its national identity.

@AGDugin Russians are Ukrainians without the human gene.

Ukrainians are Russians went crazy, cruel and filled with hubris (chutzpah).

@dasitudeobere Ai auzit de aliante ? Daca nu ar fi fost aliantele, toți am vorbit rusește- nici o țară din Europa de Est nu poate "lupta singura". Rusia ne ocupa pe toți rand pe rand. Dar tu pari ca vrei sa vorbești rusește, asa ca muta-te la Moscova.

E în regula. Chiar dacă mulți din cetățenii aia nu au o problema în a trece sub administrație rusească...e foarte ok sa lupte pt ele. Dar sa lupte singuri pentru ele. Sau nici asta nu e bine? Sa nu mai nenoroceasxa zeci de alte tari și câteva sute de milioane de oameni. Care nu-și doresc. De altfel, asta scrie și în text. Dar nu am întâlnit vreun Slava Ucraina care sa nu fie analfabet funcțional. Asa ca nu ma mira comentariul tău

Dacă neonaziștii corupți din Ucraina tot nu vor să renunțe la bucățile alea de pământ, sunt 2 variante dezirabile și juste pentru restul lumii: 1. Să continue SINGURI lupta justificată, de altfel, de apărare, fără banii noștri și sacrificarea economiilor și a sănătății altora pentru ei. 2. Putin să intre în modul război (cum face SUA-Israel în Iran) și să calce în picioare la propriu pe cei care i se opun (militari și civili) pentru a obține victoria cât mai rapid. 🟢 Eu încă o prefer pe prima. Cam 55%-45%. Dacă Narcofuhrer-ul Zelensky și regimul lui corupt o mai țin așa…o să sară brusc raportul la 90%-10% pentru varianta 2.

@zoltanspox @FM_Szijjarto You need to get factories that sell to Russia. You betrayed Europe so don't expect Europe to keep funding Orban's corrupt regime.

🇮🇹🫱🏻‍🫲🏼🇭🇺 @FM_Szijjarto: A new factory by Weger Hungária will be built in Jászárokszállás with a HUF 9.5 billion investment, securing 250 jobs. 🏭 The minister noted that the Italian-owned company will introduce cutting-edge technology and digitalized production, with 80–90% of output destined for export markets, mainly in Western Europe. ⚠️ FM Szijjártó emphasized that in the current global environment Hungary must stay out of wars and protect its energy security, adding: We will not allow energy prices to spiral, as that would endanger both households and jobs. 📊 He reaffirmed that job protection remains central to economic policy, stressing: If there is work, there is everything, and highlighting that recent years have seen record levels of investment and job creation in Hungary.

@RusMission_EU You war criminal thugs need to go back to Moscow and shut up. We don't need Russian "diplomats" in Europe. Learn Chinese and go to kiss Xi's hand in Beijing.

⚡Comment by the Permanent Mission of Russia to the EU regarding the statement by the foreign ministers of a number of EU Member States in Kiev, 31 March 2026 In connection with the statement by the foreign ministers of a number of EU Member States and Ukraine regarding the “events” in Bucha in 2022, which once again reproduces unfounded accusations against Russia, we would like to state the following. The Russian side has repeatedly drawn attention to the unsubstantiated and false nature of such EU allegations, calling on, among others, the UN Secretary-General to assist in obtaining a list of victims of this staged incident. The Russian representatives have made similar requests to the UN Human Rights Council and have repeatedly urged the journalistic community to conduct an impartial international investigation into these “events.” However, all in vain. ❗Whereas in 2022 the “events” in Bucha were used by the regime of Vladimir Zelensky, together with its sponsors from the EU, to derail the peace negotiations in Istanbul and to provide a political justification for the Western military aid to Kiev, they are now presented as an “argument” for launching pseudo-legal mechanisms to hold Russia “accountable” for the actions that our country did not commit. We consider this to be yet another manifestation of legal arbitrariness and hypocrisy of the European bureaucracy, which exploits this issue to advance its own geopolitical and ideological interests in the context of the Ukrainian crisis.

t.co/OrFksq0Qdm Watch: Hamas terrorist hiding inside a civilian house in Gaza launched an RPG at Israeli soldiers who were searching for the hostages. Few moments later he found out… as he got hit by an Israeli airstrike. This is how Hamas destroyed the civilian infrastructure all over Gaza. This is what Hamas’ war crimes look like.

@LamereShan @anneapplebaum Good thing it was wiretapped, otherwise he would have called it fake news and lies. Nobody is above the law. FMs and PMs and Presidents included. Traitors deserve jail.

@anneapplebaum Wiretapping an EU FM is a scandal that should be enough to ruin this failing Union once and for all. Calling him a mole for doing what is the task of an FM is just the ordinary Applebaum-Sikorski thing – liberal whining and moaning.

"All this time Putin had, and still has, a mole in all European and NATO official meetings. If the integrity of these meetings is to be maintained, it would be appropriate to ban Hungary from all of them. Every generation has a Kim Philby” #4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theins.press/en/inv/290911#4

@PM_ViktorOrban Indeed, I hope you're not pissing off to Moscow after you lose the elections, and you stay to face your well deserved jail sentence in Hungary.

We will protect Hungary’s peace and security. We are here to stay. 🇭🇺🧡

@zoltanspox @FM_Szijjarto @panyiszabolcs The gigantic scandal is your betrayal of EU, Hungary, of our values and our well being. Good thing those calls were wiretapped - otherwise you would call it a lie until the end of time. Nobody is above the law. Foreign Minister or Prime Minister, traitors go to jail.

🚨 @FM_Szijjarto: Foreign secret services wiretapped my calls and released them ahead of the elections with the help of Hungarian journalist @panyiszabolcs. This is a gigantic scandal and a serious interference in Hungary’s sovereignty. We will not allow a puppet government to be imposed on us.

@FM_Szijjarto is Lavrov's employee. Traitor.
