Because Ukraine has nothing better to do than sabotage the energy resources of an EU country. /s
Orban is a fucking joke. I hope Hungarians see through his bullshit.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Now the seed has been planted. Next Russia well attack Hungary pretending to be Ukraine, so article 5 week be invoked against Ukraine.
And then they all clapped
You joke, but they're literally that delusional. The worst thing is that Trump would probably jump at the opportunity - if the EU wasn't already aware of all this and it would be the final nail in the coffin for US/EU relations if they tried to push this false flag. But Putin is desperate and Trump does long for a smooching session with him.
Well, there was that thing with Nord Stream. I'm not saying that Orban isn't making this up but it isn't totally implausible.
Orban is about to get his ass handed to him in national elections. Creating a foreign policy crisis is his way of trying to stay in power. We've seen this with Netanyahu and Trump too. It's a distraction play.
The other guy isn't much different
Putin? Yeah I know right
It’s so, so obvious that his narrative is purely targeted on his domestic audience. I do hope Hungarians are aware of the insane media bias they’re being immersed in as a direct result of Orban’s bullshit… but then again, knowing how susceptible the idiots in my own country are to that stuff, who knows. :(
Wasting public money on ostensibly guarding an attack that won't be coming, but really just installing baseless fear is peak Orban.
And when it predictably doesn't happen, hes the great Protector and Turkey Stronk.
Can’t wait to hear he’s been defeated.
I'm surprised the Druzhba pipeline still occasionally functions, despite Russia fighting a war against Ukraine for what is now 4 years.
Orban should not expect Druzhba to keep functioning forever. It will not be blown up in Hungary. It will be blown up, repaired, blown up, repaired, and finally blown up and no longer repaired - in Russia and most likely, also in Ukraine. There are no guarantees for its survival. All the alarms have been ringing for 4 years. If Orban wants oil, he should buy it from elsewhere than Russia. He has been offered oil through Croatia, it's just not Russian oil. He should accept the offer and forget about Druzhba.
As for Orban himself, if I was a Hungarian, I would get rid of him. He's likely setting records of corruption and media manipulation right now, trying to manipulate his way to re-election for the umpteenth time.
Playing the victim to get some more votes.
