The truth is on Russia's side. Many Hungarians are tired of the so-called "Western values," Hungarian writer Attila Demko told Politico:

“After 12 years of pressure from the EU and the West, many Hungarians fall into the trap of feeling that if the West is ‘bad,’ there must be some ‘truth’ in what Russia is doing.”

The article notes that people in Hungary do not understand why they should support anti-Russian sanctions if their country is constantly criticized in the EU.

Meanwhile: The European Commission on Sunday proposed suspending 65 percent of funds allocated to Hungary under three EU programs over rule-of-law concerns, but also laid the ground for a possible compromise that would allow Budapest to keep the money.

I don't think Hungary are pro-Russian. They just don't want to commit economic suicide by sanctioning them.

Pretty soon the era of EU handing out free money to eastern Europe will be over, they will be unable to afford it. It'll be interesting to see how many become "pro-Russian" after that.

The same with the US, dangling $15million aid and expecting the recipient to bend down is insulting.

China Signs Major Railroad Deal With Uzbekistan And Kyrgyzstan, Bypassing Russia​

Click to expand...
China has signed a deal to construct a railroad through Krygyzstan and Uzbekistan that would bypass sanctions-hit Russia.
  • Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and China signed the agreement on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit.
  • Uzbekistan has embraced the project to improve transport and trade links from Central Asia to Turkey and onward to Europe, on a route that bypasses internationally isolated Russia.

China, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan have signed a long-anticipated agreement to push ahead with the construction of a railroad linking their countries that will, if completed, establish a shorter route to Europe, bypassing sanctions-hit Russia. The three governments signed the agreement on September 14 on the sidelines of a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in Uzbekistan.

The document does not set out a roadmap for construction of the CKU link, which was first mooted a quarter of a century ago but had struggled to get off the ground until Russia’s invasion of Ukraine breathed new impetus into it.

But it does move the project one step closer to reality, by laying out terms for a feasibility study for the Kyrgyz leg, which is the missing link to connect existing railroads in China and Uzbekistan, to be completed by the first half of 2023.

I am not sure if it is true but I wouldn't be surprised. In my own experience, Indians and South American immigrants in the USA make some of the nastiest white supremacists on the internet.

Typical group dynamics, you’ll find the bully of the group is the one who is the weakest and contributes the least to the group. And so they pick on others for fear that attention might be drawn to how weak and pathetic they really are.
