JD Vance backs Orbán's re-election bid in Budapest visit and hits out at EU

US Vice-President JD Vance intervenes in the campaign to give Orbán a ringing endorsement in Budapest.

@adfichter Vance arrives in Europe yet to promote right-wing anti-immigration parties. And then he or Trump steps off the plane with their spouses...umm something isn't fitting in the picture.

They are psychotic

@txtx @adfichter one has nothing to do with the other. I can't go into details, now (father duties), but I recommend you absolutely research how faschists and xenophobes legitimize 'getting' spouses from other countries while dehumanizing immigrant and seasonal workers. Actually, I don't think I could explain it adequately, even if I had time to piece it together.
@adfichter Nur die europäischen Regierungen wollen immer noch nicht wahr haben, dass die #USA jetzt der Feind sind. Sonst hätte dem Faschisten #Vance der Überflug verweigert werden können.

@exception @adfichter wer bleibt uns dann noch als Verbündeter? Das ist das furchteinflössende, schätze ich.

Es gibt eine gute Antwort auf die Frage, aber diese wollen die Mächtigen in Europa nicht hören, bzw. sie denken, dieser Zug sei schon längst abgefahren.

@adfichter

The goal of the NSS is even worse than just "weakening europe" :

The whole chapter - which claims to want to reestablish "European greatness" - is a right-wing anti-immigration fever dream full of white supremacist narratives about "birth rates" and the "decline of Western civilization",
which reframes neonazis and rightwing extremists like AfD, Le Pen into oppressed minorities and grifting autocrats like Orbán into defenders of true democracy.

@adfichter Well, first and foremost, it's a declared goal of Moscow.

(The rest of the consideration is left as an exercise to the reader.)
