Honestly, I knew Orban was criticized for it but Orban is a dictator already and criticized for other things as well and the easiest low-hanging fruit here.
It also seems two years later that much of the European element of this is relatively taken for granted and the use of that new 10,000 strong border force is less newsworthy than the US deployment of a smaller force chiefly of military engineers where rules of engagement forbid the scenario the dipshit wants.
The two years because that article was written in 2016, long after Orban was already doing his thing and evidently not a worthy enough face of it.
Multiple European states have done this. At least with the Turks and the Greeks a real shooting war is not entirely improbable there. I literally don't see a moral difference, save that the US version gets about five posts in two days here and these European analogues have gotten what? Mentions in my comments because I actually looked it up hoping Europeans would be different?
