European politicians who campaign for likeminded leaders from other nations is quite common… but here, it’s the United States openly supporting the most Eurosceptic leader of the bloc, a leader whose other main backer is Vladimir Putin’s Russia.We’ll ask whether Vance’s support helps or hurts Orban in the homestretch of a race where he’s held up the EU’s 90-billion euro loan to Ukraine and where the opposition accuses the prime minister of running a false flag operation in neighboring Serbia with an alleged plot against a pipeline supplying Russian gas.More broadly, we’ll assess the changes of a nation of xx million under 16 years of increasingly illiberal Orban rule.
