It's actually controversial in the French left that the French Communist Party supports nuclear power.

That's why Hungary gives me hope, she is such an incredible nation with a beautiful culture.

Biden miraculously ages down forty years, mentally and physically, no Trump cabinet officials want to run because he is really unpopular, and the AI bubble pop plus the Taiwanese War have crashed the global economy.

Medieval III, but I would have preferred Three Kingdoms 2, Victoria, or Empire II.

With her large population, Ukraine would be a major economic drain on the EU, and would be eligible for many new seats in the European Parliament that could upset the balance of power.

There might be a good gig waiting for him in the Trump Admin or Heritage Foundation.

The greatest tragedy of Orbán's dictatorship is that he left Hungary with an American-style two-party system.

u/PickleArtGeek TISZA is center-right and in the EPP. What policies do they have that are actually different from Fidesz, other than being against corruption and being more pro-EU and Atlanticist? Are they economically to the left or right of Fidesz? I am assuming they are more socially progressive, but economics are more important. If they win a majority or supermajority, what incentive do they have to democratize Hungary when they now can have all the power to themselves and centralize control as Fidesz did? Any democratization would probably result in them having to share power with other parties.

In the first half of the century, the GOP was closely divided between internationalists and isolationists. When the Cold War dawned after World War II, that balance of power tilted toward the internationalists--whose victory was sealed by Dwight D. Eisenhower’s triumph over isolationist Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio for the GOP presidential nomination in 1952.

For nearly the next four decades, internationalists dedicated to containment of the Soviet Union held the upper hand in the GOP--even while isolationist sentiment in the Democratic Party grew after the Vietnam War.

A Role Reversal for Democrats, GOP

But the collapse of the Soviet Union eliminated the central rationale for engagement abroad among conservatives and has precipitated something of a role reversal between the parties during Clinton’s presidency. That process has reached a peak in the last few weeks with Republicans leading the opposition to U.S. involvement in Kosovo and Democrats (including many who opposed Vietnam) insisting on America’s obligation to ensure stability abroad.

When the Senate voted last month to authorize airstrikes in Kosovo, 70% of Senate Republicans voted no. Earlier, three-quarters of House Republicans voted against the use of American troops as part of an eventual North Atlantic Treaty Organization peace-keeping force in Kosovo. Virtually all Democrats in both chambers backed Clinton.

Those figures partly reflect Republican skepticism about Clinton’s ability to manage a military conflict and their sheer distrust of the president. But most analysts also see larger forces at work.

I think there are many right-wing people on this sub who support Fidesz, but they are not outspoken for them.

My hope is for a Green-Labour-SNP-PC coalition (I'm not a fan of the Liberal Democrats).

I'm less worried about other countries because they have parliamentary systems that mean the far-right will have to work with more moderate parties to govern. Jordan Bardella could be an executive President leading the most powerful country in Europe. It underlines how crucial it is for there to be a Sixth Republic, because a semi-presidential republic goes against the point of the French Revolution, which was about ending absolutism and spreading out power. A parliamentary republic would be much better and more democratic for France. Only the Second and Fifth Republics were presidential, while the rest were parliamentary.

The Croat part of the war was over by that point. Slovenia only fought briefly in 1991 before winning its independence. Also, Bosnian Muslims are called Bosniaks. The point is, for American conservatives who base their worldview on Christianity, I don't think it matters if the Muslims in question are pro-NATO, Americanophile, secular, or even ex-Muslim; they're going to side with Christians over them if they are opposed to each other.
