        it’s utter madness, but i suppose he’s just a cynical liar caught in his own rhetoric with no way out.

        hopefully time is up for him and Hungary can get a chance at some justice and real improvement.

        You answered your own question with your statement. They are in GOP territory now with the cognitive dissonance

        He has no other choice.

        Putin has made it clear to him that the photos they have of Orbán having an intercourse with an underage girl will be made public unless Orbán obeys.
