The Median survey revealed that 86 percent of the Hungarian population supports the country's EU membership, and 91 percent supports NATO membership.
I guess a good chunk of these people would think Ukraine should be let into the EU because "The EU is a good thing and Ukrainians deserve good things"
IDEA Institute's nationally representative survey of 1,500 people, conducted in early April 2025, examined how members of the Hungarian adult population generally view the possibility of Ukraine's EU membership. The survey results show that more people agree with Ukraine's future EU membership, provided the still unknown conditions are met, than those who reject it. 45 percent of Hungarian adults agree that Ukraine should be a member of the European Union if it meets the accession conditions, and only 38 percent reject this. Furthermore, 17 percent of the population is uncertain about the issue, has mixed impressions, or is unable to take a position at all – the research concluded.

It's funny how youtube algo sometimes actually boosts pertinent videos, like when the now-famous Mearsheimer lecture got a couple million views at the start of the SMO
On a "grand strategy" level USA is the leader, on the level of individual politicians AIPAC clearly has big influence.
Westerners criticizing their own governments and power structures would be authoritarian actually
A real critical thinking liberal only criticizes their governments' official enemies
They literally have to go to the state barber every day to get the Kim haircut
