Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna accused Hungary of siding with Russia, saying it’s "on Putin’s team" and no longer aligned with European interests.

Hungary maintains close ties with Moscow and recently discussed continued economic cooperation during a visit by its foreign minister.

Tsahkna urged forming a "coalition of the willing" to bypass Hungary’s veto power in EU decisions requiring unanimity.

He warned that revoking Hungary’s voting rights under Article 7 is increasingly likely, citing Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s actions as threats to EU security and unity.

Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna accused Hungary of siding with Russia, saying it’s "on Putin’s team" and no longer aligned with European interests.

Literally everyone knows this. Even I know this.

Tsahkna urged forming a "coalition of the willing" to bypass Hungary’s veto power in EU decisions requiring unanimity.

Sorry, is this not already happening? I thought this was definitely already being very heavily discussed.

He warned that revoking Hungary’s voting rights under Article 7 is increasingly likely, citing Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s actions as threats to EU security and unity.

This too, aren't we like 75% there already? Genuinely asking, I don't know, but this was my impression.

The coalition of the willing stuff was for Ukraine, not for everything, so far.

Article 7 has been "increasingly likely" for the past 15 years.

It's the wording itself that matters here. A MoFA of a small, but relevant nation using the exact phrasing of article 7 is how you get the ball rolling. This is a good sign.

Its not that everyone doesn't know about it, its that the obvious needs to be stated by politicians and appropriate actions taken.
