BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.43pm post the following, " The EU has been agonising over energy sanctions for weeks.....Hungary, in particular, is seen as a potential road-block. It’s heavily reliant on Russian supplies, while the government of the recently re-elected Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, has voiced clear opposition to sanctions. "
Lets Get Real:
The Hungarian people must have forgotten the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the then USSR. The re-elected leader of Hungary is CLOSE to Putin, the US and other EU and NATO Allies must place pressure on Hungary, do they want to be in the EU and NATO, how can we trust them if they are loyal to the Kremlin. The EU on the whole must ACT AS ONE, when it comes to sanctions, the Hungarians have a VETO as all Countries do. The EU is sending billions to Putin due to its need of Russian gas, the EU, and individual countries as such as Germany and Hungary really need to cut ties with Putin's Russia. When it comes to more tougher action by the EU and NATO one can see Putin using GAS as a blackmail to get these Countries to get these Countries to block sanctions or prevent Sweden or Finland becoming members of NATO. The West has to be hard and firm with Putin, that is the only thing he understands, Putin if he ever had one is stamped with KGB running through it.
