Russia is ramping up military bases near the Finnish border, increasing troop presence, prompting NATO allies to bolster their defenses.

Much of the buildup is happening in the Leningrad Military District, which borders Estonia, Latvia, and Finland. As part of a broader plan to increase the Russian army’s size to 1.5 million troops, small brigades stationed there are being expanded into full divisions of around 10,000 soldiers, the report said.

      I’m hoping on Orbán actually going out with the next election. Magyar has plenty of time to get an even stronger base.

        And then you exchange Orban, the right wing dipshit with another, new right wing dipshit, I know it’s the only way to get rid of the Russian spy balloon but it’s not exactly freedom Hungarians would be getting out of this.

          Tisza is hardly right wing. Could be later co-opted of course, just like Orbán did with Fidesz.
