Hungary’s Foreign Minister Makes Sure Not to Miss China’s Anti-Western Pageant

So much for the fear that Hungary might sit this one out. Péter Szijjártó, Orbán’s ever-faithful envoy, dutifully turned up at Beijing’s anti-West jamboree, the parade of strongmen assembled by Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. He even made it just in time for Wednesday’s military spectacle, breathlessly trailing the North Korean dictator and the Slovak prime minister like a latecomer desperate not to miss the group photo.

Turkey defies US as Russian S-400 missile defence arrives

Turkey has received the first parts of a Russian S-400 missile defence system despite opposition from the US.
