It is understandable that many conservatives find appeal in Viktor Orban's promotion of strong borders and pro-family policies. Still, the prime minister of Hungary regularly reminds us that he is no friend of America.
The latest reminder came early on Friday morning when Orban blocked a $55 billion European Union aid package for Ukraine. That package was supported by 26 EU member states and opposed by just one, Hungary. It is, of course, Hungary's right to pursue whatever foreign policy its leaders desire. Orban retains a significant parliamentary majority. His cronyism and corruption aside, he is a democratically vested leader.
However, by blocking this aid provision, Orban worsens an already challenging situation for Ukraine as it continues to resist Russia's invasion.
