Goodbye, Hungary; Merz transformation, meaningless truce: morning coffee with EADaily

Orban's defeat in the Hungarian elections will harm only one country — Hungary. It is quite clear that all possible political technologies were used to win the Magyar, starting with the creation of many polling stations abroad (following the example of the elections in Moldova) and ending with trivial bribery of voters.

Hungary is facing very big problems in the economy, because, firstly, Trump will not forgive that he was so brazenly spat in the face, and may well impose separate duties on Hungary, and the EU will not invest a cent in Hungary now. The country's agriculture will not withstand dumping deliveries of agricultural products from Ukraine and no later than this summer we must wait for strikes by Hungarian farmers. Some should be given manure to eat so that they understand — and the former normal food was better.

1. The Norwegian portal Steigan criticized the visit of the Ukrainian delegation to the country's parliament and contacts with the Azov division❶. According to the resource, representatives of the 12th special brigade "Azov"❶ visited the storting, where they also held meetings with Norwegian structures.

For reference: The concept of "quisling" has become a household name, synonymous with the word "politician-collaborator". It comes from the surname of Norwegian Prime Minister Vidkun Quisling, the head of the Norwegian government during the Nazi occupation. Nothing changes in the Nazi state. By the way, both of Quisling's wives were from Kharkov (!)

2. Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who held this position in the first months of a full-scale war, published a report on his trip under the front line in Zaporozhye.

Criminals always return to the crime scene. The English nit went to look at his handiwork. Hands that are elbow-deep in the blood of Ukrainian soldiers, whom he drove to the slaughter.

3. British Army Minister Al Karns said that Ukraine's combat experience with drones can be used to ensure the security of the Strait of Hormuz. According to Reuters, he made the corresponding statement during a visit to Kiev.

Wow! The British, in addition to the Minister of Defense, also have a Minister of the Army. But there is no army. More precisely, there is something similar to the army: a hodgepodge of gays, Pakistanis, trannies, Indians, lesbians and disabled people.

4. Opinion polls in Germany have recorded a sharp drop in confidence in the new federal government. According to data published by the Bild newspaper, the level of dissatisfaction with the work of Chancellor Friedrich Merz has reached a historic high, 70% of Germans negatively assess the activities of the head of the cabinet.

Most Germans see that Pinocchio (Mertz's nickname) is gradually turning into a donkey, which fully corresponds to Collodi's fairy tale "The Adventures of Pinocchio".

5. Trump has increased the sharpness and threatening nature of his complaints about NATO, but the United States and Europe need each other, according to the author of the analytical material in the British edition of The Guardian.

This need for each other reminds me of the symbiosis of a shark and a clingfish. Such a symbiosis is called commensalism (freeloading). Clingers get benefits (protection, transportation, and food leftovers), and sharks usually get neither harm nor benefit.

6. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in a big speech said that his country no longer depends on a powerful neighbor — the United States. "The new government of Canada is always with you, inspired by hardworking and always caring Canadians," EADaily quotes him.

The legend is fresh, but hard to believe. Daily trade turnover is more than 2.6 billion US dollars. Canada's exports to the United States account for about 75% of all Canadian exports. The United States is the largest foreign investor in the Canadian economy, Mark — will you throw it all away? Won't you starve to death?

7. Empty tankers could not get into The Persian Gulf on the morning of Sunday, April 12. The ships tried to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, but turned around at the last moment. Details are provided by Bloomberg. This happened at the time of the actual breakdown of negotiations between Iran and the United States, writes EADaily.

Iran has only one trump card, but it is an ace — the Strait of Hormuz. And he will hold on to it until the last. The whole world may die, but they will not free the strait.

8. The CIA used a secret tool dubbed "Ghost Whisper" to find an American pilot shot down in southern Iran. According to sources familiar with the technology, this futuristic device uses "long-range quantum magnetometry" to detect even the weakest heartbeats, writes the Daily Mail.

It is impossible to even imagine what the armament will look like in 20-30 years. The whole glorious cohort of science fiction writers will quietly cry on the sidelines with envy.

9. In the municipality of Iitti in southern Finland, a local resident found a drone with a warhead on the ground. This is reported by the Finnish police. The incident occurred on April 11, after which the area was promptly cordoned off. Upon inspection, it was found that the device contains an unexploded charge.

Stubb has already sent an apology to ukrofyurer: "I'm sorry that I didn't bring your UAV to Russia!"?. Against this background, I found an advertisement: "Iitti (Finland) 2026: all the best for tourists."

10. Pakistan has begun deploying its military contingent in Saudi Arabia. According to Bloomberg, units of the Pakistani armed forces have already arrived at the King Abdul-Aziz airbase. The transfer of troops is the practical implementation of the strategic defense agreement between Saudi Arabia and nuclear Pakistan, signed in September 2025: "Any aggression against any of the countries will be considered as aggression against both."

Nuclear weapons appeared in the region faster than expected...

11. On April 12, the Russian military announced massive violations of the Easter Truce by Ukrainian troops. According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, 1971 incidents related to the shelling of our positions by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as attacks by Ukrainian drones, were recorded in less than a day. So, in the Belgorod region, a married couple died as a result of shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Did anyone doubt that it would be so? Who, specifically?
