The EU trades with non EU countries, Hungary could trade with the EU or whoever via cargo planes… it’s the head of government of Hungary saying that the EU is their enemy and not the EU calling Hungary an enemy.
Not being called enemy doesn’t help Hungary to import products if the EU is blocking them. Question is if the EU would do it.
Is anyone threatening that? Besides voices in Orban’s head? The EU keeps trading with the UK. Again, the door is wide open.
It doesn’t matter if the EU is threatening now. It only matters if the EU would do it.
Could Hungary trade with Russia if they leave and Serbia joins? I don’t think so. The EU would still enforce the embargo. Some airfright would be possible, but even that could be terminated.
I know the EU is responsible for everything and what not. But let’s agree that your imagination is on you. The door is wide open, Hungary just needs to say it wants out and it’s out. It wouldn’t be the first.
Of course Hungary can get out. That is not the problem. The problem is that they are landlocked and they wouldn’t get any advantage from leaving.
How is it phantasy that Hungary wouldn’t get embargoed Russian products, even if they left? How could they get them?
So Hungary has advantages in being in!? That’s not what the PM is saying!!!
Don’t play the victim pal. Make it make sense.
That’s a different discussion. I came for the wordplay on doors.
The PM is saying that the EU is a threat. If you want my input on that tell me where you stand and what doesn’t make sense to you.
