Ukraine and Hungary: European trouble spots.

The Ukraine.


The news is mixed. Ukraine has serious economic problems, including a chronic trouble to pay on its loans. Then there is the problem of extremists and 'oligarchs' challenging govt power, such as the nationalist attacks on the police while the Ukraine parliament was debating the autonomy laws for Eastern Ukraine. Then there is the military problem with Russia and the Separatists. If that were not enough, two children became paralyzed by polio in Western Ukraine. The Ukrainian navy (a shade of its former self after losing Crimea) is having exercises with a few US boats in the Black Sea. But, the Ukrainian State has survived and improved its military. It did serious butt kicking as evidenced by the report that there were almost 5,000 Russian casualties in the Donbas.


Hungary.


Hungary is having a serious problem with the unarmed Muslim invaders trying to move through the country. West European elites (like our own) are profoundly anti-Christian, so they welcome the invasion and accuse the government of Xenophobia. Of course leftism is a disease of the mind and the elites do not want to acknowledge that compared to the weak influence of Christianity, Islam would impose far harsher restrictions on their hedonistic ways. There are not so covert threats against Hungary in the Press and governments. Also, there are economic threats.
