"THE HUNGARY GAMES"

"Hungary’s ruling party has been accused of mass voter intimidation in a new film, released two weeks before the country’s parliamentary elections. The Price of the Vote documentary, which aired yesterday on YouTube and in a Budapest cinema, chronicles a six-month investigation into Viktor Orban’s governing Fidesz party. It cites mayors, former election officials and a police officer who claim voters have been offered large sums of money and illegal drugs to vote for Fidesz in 53 of Hungary’s 106 constituencies. Recent polls suggest that Orban’s party is trailing the centre-right opposition party Tisza after 16 years in power. Clearly not the best time, then, for bad publicity."

BREAKING NEWS: German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier TORCHES Trump for the “disastrous mistake” of launching an illegal and bloody war against Iran.
The entire world is standing up to MAGA now…
“This war violates international law. There is little doubt that, in any case, the justification of an imminent attack on the U.S. does not hold water,” stated Steinmeier to a group of German diplomats in Berlin.
We know now for a fact that Iran did not pose an imminent threat to the United States. Trump’s own National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent admitted as much when he resigned from his position in protest of the war. Kent also revealed that Trump launched the war on behalf of Israel in a profound betrayal of American interests.
“This war is also — and please bear with me when I say this, as someone directly involved — a politically disastrous mistake,” Steinmeier continued. “And that’s what frustrates me the most. A truly avoidable, unnecessary war, if its goal was to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.”
The German president wasn’t done there though, and took time to rip into Trump’s deranged saber-rattling towards Greenland and his unprecedented undermining of the NATO alliance.
“Just as I believe there will be no going back to the way things were before February 24, 2022 in our relationship with Russia, so I believe there will be no going back to the way things were before January 20, 2025 in transatlantic relations,” Steinmeier said, referring to Trump’s inauguration. “The rupture is too deep.”
Politico noted that while Steinmeier’s role in German politics is “largely ceremonial,” his incredibly blunt criticisms will “likely” apply “additional pressure” on German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to speak out forcefully.
Steinmeier also called on Germany to make itself independently strong outside of its reliance on the United States since America is no longer a reliable partner. He said that the German military “must become the backbone of conventional defense in Europe.”
“In the technological sphere, our dependence on the U.S. is even greater. This makes it all the more important that we do not simply accept this situation,” he added.
Thanks to Trump, America is more isolated, impoverished, and unstable than ever. We have gained nothing from his alienation of our closest allies and it will take decades to fully calculate what we’ve lost.

What I am wondering mon ami, is why the Islamist Loons have declared war on Syria. Haven't they got enough enemies without picking up another one ? Just what has Syria done to provoke the Loons into a further bout of indiscriminate rocket lobbing.

I have mentioned before sinkov my across the road neighbour is an Iranian whose family all live in and around Tehran. He's a thoroughly decent bloke and he emailed me last night to say a million Iranians are geared up militarily to meet Trump's task force.

Images on Spanish TV are showing millions of Americans right across the US protesting on "No Kings Day" and a "video of Israeli jets bombing Syria’s Defence Ministry in 2025 has been falsely ​described online as Iran hitting Israel in retaliation *for U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Saturday."

Trump is costing the US taxpayer a billion dollars a day plus for a war with no purpose or end game and the Jews are up to their usual $hitstirring antics.

US bases in the Gulf States are fair game for a sovereign nation that must defend itself.

TACO cannot win this conflict either at home or away.

Sounds a lot like Burnley's Parker to me.

You still haven't told me just why the Islamist Loons in Iran have declared war on Syria. After all, declaring war on your neighbours is not something states do every day, they must have a reason. I haven't a clue what it is, do you ?

Trump bombs 12000 miles away Iran for no discernible reason, but you deflect that monstrous act of warmongering with why "Islamist Loons in Iran have declared war on Syria." You are as mad as the evil orange manbaby sinkov.

The Pfhuck Trump movement continues unabated...

"More than 3,000 No Kings protest events in the United States were bolstered by activists across the world opposing Donald Trump.

Rallies against the president were formed across the US, but also in Germany, Italy, and Australia. Protestors in Paris, France, were spotted holding up "Dump Trump" signs while those in the streets of Madrid, Spain, rallied around a sign reading, "Power to the people." A previous No Kings movement occurred on June 14, 2025, the same day as Trump's birthday. Further protests followed in October, and a third set of rallies across the world took place today (March 28)."
