It is also called a "Russian tail". [The Russian Tail sheds Light on ‘24 Election Interference](https://lynxotic.com/the-russian-tail-sheds-light-on-24-election-interference/) Wonder if we see this pattern pop up again.

They're not just uniting to influence elections in Hungary. They've got a common vision for the future of the whole of Europe.

I personally think they might have agreed to spheres of influence. Including Bibi. Not yet sure if Xi as well and thus all the aggressive talk is just a 1984 inspired show.

Thanks for all the links everybody! Didn't have # "Illegitimate US President Declares Illegal War on Country Minding It's Own Damn Business, Potentially Igniting WWIII" on my freakin' bingo card!

I would have been more surprised of the opposite to be honest. Foreign interference from Russia AND the US!

Possible, all but guaranteed given that Orban is the most pro russia head of state in the EU and NATO
