Either he’s done!

The EU has been holding up big aide money to Hungary over his anti democratic laws and out right thievery. If he drops out of the EU, there will be all out revolt due to the poverty it will cause.

If he drops out of NATO, Hungary will become a putin puppet nation and he’ll be taking orders from his new leader rather than giving them. Just like Lukashenko of Belarus.
