DC neocons have made removing Orban a top priority
It's a complete mystery as to why. A mystery, I say.
Considering the West’s ongoing support for neo-fascist Ukraine, these antisemetic vandalism accusations seem trivial and contrived.
Sweden has experienced record levels of antisemitism in recent years.
So do the charges that Ukraine is presently neo-fascist.
Please go through the same litany of old and ill-founded accusations. Pleeeeeease!/s
Hope they’re not holding their breath.
🤔🤔🤔
Yawn.
