🔥 I took a couple of days to compile this long analysis. The elections in Hungary tomorrow are seismic, globally. So I cover: - The rise of Orbán - Orbán’s weakening - The emergence of Péter Magyar - The election battle - The JD Vance visit - What it all means for Hungary, the EU, Putin & Trump

Why an Orbán loss would be a huge win for the EU - and disastrous for Putin and MAGA
It's hard to understate how much vast geopolitics hinges on an election in a country with a population of only 9.6M
