Hungary maintained its EU veto on sanctions for Moscow and a loan for Kyiv, in a blow to Europe's pro-Ukrainian consensus on the eve of the war's fourth anniversary. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/24/world/politics/hungary-sanctions-ukraine-war-anniversary/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #viktororban #hungary #eu #oil #ukraine #russia #russiaukrainewar #slovakia
As long as #Europe allows fuel from #Russia 🇷🇺 to be used within the #EuropeanUnion 🇪🇺, #Putin’s war against #Ukraine 🇺🇦 will be unnecessarily prolonged.
Also #Slovakia 🇸🇰 & #Hungary 🇭🇺 threatening to veto #EU 🇪🇺 funding for Ukraine 🇺🇦 over Russian fuel is alarming.
If #NATO nations are squabbling over fuel from Putin while fighting Russia 🇷🇺, how united would we be if Russia 🇷🇺 expanded the war into wider Europe‽ https://flipboard.com/@politicoeurope/politico-europe-brcuar8rz/-/a-UIEr2sDFTJa4ANtSLylw4g%3Aa%3A2843202212-%2F0

I like Secretaries of State who do not shake hands with the Hungarian criminal.
Rubio scheduled two national visits in Europe while going to the security conference in Munich this week.
He could have picked any countries. He chose Slovakia and Hungary, which are number 38 and 68 on The World Press Freedom Index.
The release by U.S. authorities of a new cache of files on late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has caused international fallout involving high profile figures. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/03/world/crime-legal/epstein-fallout-royal-resignations/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #crimelegal #jeffreyepstein #norway #uk #slovakia #belgium #losangeles #france #us

From 2015 to 2024, Europe has increased its military spending by 83 percent.
It is mind-blowing what we could have done for health, climate change, and innovation, had it not been for Putin and his lackey in The Oval Office.

We don't seem to see the results of that yet, which indicates that the level of investment we had were ridiculously low for the level of risk.
European politicians should have to answer for their past mismanagement, in particular that which enriched the Kremlin to the point of a russian #war against Europe funded by Europe.
And the corruption continues: #Belgium, #Hungary, #Slovakia, #Spain, and other countries in the EU where russian corruption runs deep and corrodes action.

The shrinking space for political satire in Europe. For @cartoonmovement, I wrote an editorial about my trip to Slovakia, censorship by the Fico government (we weren't allowed to visit a high school to talk about cartoons with students) and the lack of diplomatic courage of the Dutch embassy.

Slovakia, 1959. The likely lads. I read somewhere that the term 'likely lads' can refer to those who get up to well-meaning mischief. Perfect for this trio.
(Although the location of this photo is not specified in Fortepan, it is part of the same collection of photos taken in 1959 in and round Fiľakovo in south-central Slovakia, near the Hungarian border. So I am going with that!)

DON'T GIVE UP HOPE!
REMEMBER!
this isn't being snuck in through the back gate because they want to.
they HAD to sneak this in through the back gate, because a month ago, we made damn sure they couldn't get in through the front.
THAT is a victory in and of itself.
we got the german government to block the initial bill in october.
THAT is a victory in and of itself.
MORE MEPS IN FRANCE OPPOSE CHAT CONTROL THAN THEY DO SUPPORT IT!
THAT is a victory in and of itself.
keep sending emails to MEPs!
keep fighting for our privacy!
