Trump, of the Trump-Epstein child rape and trafficking fame?
Orban used public Hungarian companies to fund GOP/Trump campaigns. A trait of demonized European parties is that they oppose US and NATO.
Cpac is what it's called. And yes, that's why they sent Vance down to rally support for his election. Because putin, Trump, and orban had big plans.
The UN is a joke anyway. They didn't step up to stop putin on Ukraine, they didn't step up to stop nathenyauh on Palestine and they're not stepping up to stop the US in Iran. They.are.worthless.
I'm sry what!?
What do you mean it's not The Onion?
Ah, just saying the quiet part out loud now.
Ah, just still saying the quiet part out loud ~~now~~.
FTFY heh
I meant more so in being a Russian plant.
I don't see how that changes my joke. He's been a Russian plant forever and pretty vocal about it. :shrug: But no worries <3
Well this settles the question. Trump isn't the kind of puppet on strings, he's the kind of puppet with a hand up his ass.
What in the actual fuck?
Stephen Miller and Russel Vought, besides being cowardly, fascist pricks, are also cringe, world-class trolls.
This is as much “ha ha fuck the libtards” as it is a play for right-wing U.N. domination.
I mean are they not succeeding?
And we're early. They're still figuring out what works and doesn't.
And someone in the UN will probably make a counter-proposal for Bashar Al-Assad.
How is Al-Assad a counter to the right wing?
So close... on my Trump bingo card I had "we are renaming the UN to American Nations", not this
This so so stupid and without any sense that I actually think it would fit nicely into our time line
The United States of Nations in America
while there were several reasons to object Orbán as an apologist for Russian President Vladimir Putin and others, as he is “the dream MAGA-conservative candidate,” due to his track record of blocking “mass migration, liberal NGOs, and Hungary’s left-leaning courts and press.”
dream candidate despite losing BIGLY in the last election
According to another source, he was keen on the idea but would only put himself forward if he was confident of winning.
Maybe don't nominate a snowflake then?
Oh hell no
Another nepotism hire? Viktor must need a job
He needs diplomatic immunity. Three of his former cabinet members were arrested recently.
Having warrants out in your home country should be an immediate disqualifier... otherwise half the U.N would be staffed with political criminals!
...oh... 🤔... I see...
Doubt the UN despite its many times supporting imperialism is this far gone.
Onion, right?
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
