the shared part there is Orban has massive links to Bibi, Orban is his man in the EU, and he Veto things for them.
Kushner is doing work of Bibi, witkoff the work of putin.

Both Russia and the US want the end of the EU. Russia backs every right wing party across Europe that is anti EU, and now the US is doing the same.

Rhetorical question but I’ll bite. It’s not specifically about Orbán but a large segment of the MAGA intelligentsia (such as they are 🙄) are based in Hungary, including political advisors to the Orbán regime. As such, Vance et al who have zero idea of the political realities in Europe think Hungary is a model to be followed for ‘conservative’ US politicians. By way of example, Orbán’s support base is largely down to corruption and diversion of state resources to buy off his voter base, and far-right ideas are prevalent but many of the regions in Europe with strong right wing support like eastern Germany were formerly communist or had large scale communist movements and this is largely a backlash against the withdrawal of a social democratic/socialist economy, which had guaranteed employment, strong social benefits, and an interventionist state that stood up for citizens. This is hardly fertile ground for blood and soil nationalism based on retrograde nationalism - in fact you can pretty well map out former strongholds for communist movements against the current far-right voter spread in Europe, but the right wing Yanks have a warped view based on what they’ve been fed by the current Hungarian regime.

I also want to add that the Republicans have a plan to dismantle the EU and replace it with their own version. Hungary is a critical base for that.
Hungary is also the ideal form of democracy Republicans want: where the party wins with overwhelming majority again and again, entrenched deep and in a permanent position of power while still giving the seeming of a democracy by having opposition parties that you can technically vote for but are kept (by government money) to be always a minority and ineffectual. They want the same model that Hungary had during the Soviet Union where you can vote as long as it is for the ruling party and its selection of candidates. They think it's an actual democracy because there is slightly less theater.
Orbán losing is a refutation of their ideas and models.

If Orban does get re elected then the EU must take positive steps to change how its veto system works, one or two member countries should not be able to block what the other 25 or 26 vote for.
Orban is a Russian puppet, all he wants from the EU is money.

Whenever the Trump administration or Russia lies about someone doing something, it is often because they themselves are doing exactly that. That’s why the lie can seem so plausible and realistic - they know the full background and simply change who is responsible. In most cases, it is actually only Russia and/or Trump who are doing the very things they accuse others of.

Yes, some. Journalists and "leaks" that are quite legal in EU, in contradistinction to what's the case in Russia. The "leaks" could perhaps be Hungarians that are annoyed by Fidesz people phoning Russia in the middle of secret EU negotiations. Almost everybody in EU are opposed to Orbán, in particular the common EU citizen, so they could be just everywhere.
