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

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.
