War of words risks Hungarian Gripen lease

So, they basically have a choice between a GTX 980 and a Titan RTX...I wonder what they will pick?

So they're required to kowtow to the regs, irregardless of the damage it may cause their nation, or the people who live there?

No. It doesn't work that way. Hungary and Poland aren't in the wrong here...they've got their priorities exactly where they should be.

The EU is wrong, not Hungary or Poland.

Yes it does work that way. Thats why I voted to leave the EU, but Hungary are wrong.
If you join a group, club or event, you then wouldn't turn up and not follow the group or clubs rules, would you? You would be removed or banned from that event, club or group. If Hungary or Poland or any of the new Eastern European states disagree with the other 27 states, then they should leave and return all the grants they've taken that have improved there countries. They agreed to the laws and regulations when they asked to join the EU. They then flooded western Europe with migrants whilst denying migrants access to their own countries.

The EU is constantly changing and growing; its demands from its client states is constantly evolving.

So when Poland and Hungary signed on, they also signed on to take future advice from Sweden? Whatever new ISM the western states come up with? the ex-communist states presumably have limited input on what future EU policies will be. Are they sort of "junior partners?" Is that racist / anti-slav?

That's not a recipe for a strong, unified superstate.
