Why did France have multiple surveillance aircraft up in the air last night at 2am?

BREAKING: A Ukraine Deputy detonates a grenade at a council meeting in Zakarpattia region. One person is dead and 26 are injured.

Ukraine is in chaos.

This is the democratic nation that Zelensky and the West keep talking about.

Jay is demented. Probably from the mental breakdown he's undergoing as Ukraine continues to collapse.

📻 The UVB-76 buzzer is beeping...

This might be nothing out of the ordinary, but it almost sounds like Morse Code.

🔰 🇮🇶 🔰 "America is not great. America is a murderous, usurping, Zionist entity that destroyed Iraq and our region. This entity assassinated leaders and murdered moujahideen. This entity you call great is the real killer of children. America seizes Iraq's money, our oil, supports 'Israel', and impedes our capabilities. And if anyone dares resist these killers of children and civilians, he is called a terrorist. Well.

Apparently, wiretaps have been found in Zaluzhny's office, along with the offices of his employees.

I wonder who these belonged to? Zelensky or the CIA? I'm willing to bet it's the Americans, especially after their most recent visits.

💥 If the EU does this, then Hungary should announce its immediate exit from the EU, a declaration of stronger ties and cooperation with Russia, and an invite to Russian military bases and forces being stationed on Hungary's territory. Let's see how quickly the EU buckles.

EU could stop Hungary voting on Ukraine – FT
Published: 18 Dec 2023 | 11:41 GMT

The activation of Article 7 was reportedly floated after Budapest blocked a massive financial support package for Kiev.

The possibility of Hungary temporarily forfeiting its voting rights within the European Union is reportedly being considered, the Financial Times has claimed. This development comes after heightened discussions, especially after Budapest opposed a €50 billion ($54 billion) four-year financial aid package for Ukraine during last Thursday’s EU summit.

While Hungary did not ultimately block the initiation of EU accession talks with Kiev, as previously threatened, the Central European nation maintains a divergent stance on Ukraine compared to the bloc’s official position. Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government has consistently criticized Brussels’ plans for Ukraine’s full EU membership and Western countries’ belief in Kiev’s military capability against Russia.

According to the Financial Times’ report published on Monday, citing anonymous officials, some EU members are considering activating Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union, which allows states to lose certain rights if persistently in breach of core EU principles.

The report pointed out, however, that many countries are hesitant to use this perceived nuclear option. Instead, these nations prefer revealing to Budapest the “full costs” of its isolation.

An anonymous EU staffer told the media outlet that while “Hungary can create more trouble,” it will not be able to “stop us providing money to Ukraine.” The official disagreed with those who like to paint Orban as “Putin’s puppet,” adding that the Hungarian prime minister is pursuing his own agenda.

The FT quoted another unnamed EU diplomat as saying that Orban is “always transactional, never ideological” and is merely seeking the unfreezing of €20 billion worth of EU funding, which Brussels had suspended over concerns related to the rule of law in the Central European country.

The Hungarian prime minister and his foreign minister, Peter Szijjarto, however, dismissed such claims last week.

On the other hand, Lithuanian MEP Rasa Jukneviciene asserted on Friday that Orban is working for Russia and undermining the EU from within.

“I appeal to the Commission, to the leaders of the Council: Let’s start to think about the procedure to suspend the voting rights of Hungary,” the lawmaker implored.

Speaking to Hungary’s Radio Kossuth on Friday, Orban highlighted that Budapest still has approximately 75 opportunities to impede Kiev’s path to EU membership. He has raised concerns about what he describes as endemic corruption in Ukraine on multiple occasions.
