The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Someone must think Vance is not enough. Note the US support being contingent on the ‚right‘ candidate being elected:

“My Administration stands ready to use the full Economic Might of the United States to strengthen Hungary’s Economy, as we have done for our Great Allies in the past, if Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and the Hungarian People ever need it,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social ahead of Sunday’s vote.

“We are excited to invest in the future Prosperity that will be generated by Orbán’s continued Leadership!” said Trump, who has endorsed Orbán multiple times during the campaign.

…

Orban promptly thanked Trump for his latest show of support, posting a video including the Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.,” the song that the U.S. president has used for campaign rallies.

…

Standing next to Orbán in Budapest on Tuesday, Vance argued that Hungary has seen “one of the worst examples of foreign election interference that I’ve ever seen or even read about,” drawing charges of hypocrisy.


Guess Vance is right, although not in the way he intended. Putin has been very supportive of Orban, too.
