but...this piece argues the genocidal rampage might re-start at any moment...

A Hungarian woman-- rock musician/young mother-- whom we met in Budapest also noted that Orban was able to slide in because the remnants of the Communist system still provided many social safety nets to the population-- medical care etc- that he didn't (initially) dismantle...

Hungary Didn't Stop Looking Like a Democracy That's what made Viktor Orbán’s rise so dangerous. The institutions remained and looked democratic yet the balance of power changed underneath them.

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.

Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

Live updates: Trump warns a 'whole civilization will die tonight' if a deal with Iran isn't reached The U.S. struck Kharg Island, a critical oil hub for Iran. President Donald Trump warned that a “whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran does not capitulate in war.

Today everyone in the military must ask if they’re willing to commit war crimes for this deranged old man.

Targeting civilians would, in fact, be a war crime.

This man is deranged, unstable, and unfit to lead. He thinks this is a game. Republicans need to find their backbone, rein him in, and end this reckless war before more innocent lives are lost and this escalates into something far worse.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal.

Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big.

And here we are.

Threatening the destruction of an entire people to open a single strait - out of greed for money and oil, no less - is not American and it’s not ok. And the fact anyone has to even say that shows how far the country has fallen. www.cbsnews.com/amp/live-upd...
