Indeed.

Through many small episodes, each a scathing criticism of the barbarism and incompetence, he has made me clear that Hungary has been and remains a colossal failure.

And the many gifted Hungarians can not change my impression.

The same way, according to the same formula, I can line up some other historical failures, countries like Iran, Iraq, Romania, Russia…

All places find themselves in eternal trouble, where decency is rare, and greed governs.

Just one more caution, when you meet people from any of the failing countries, have a healthy does of suspicion of their character, because most of them remain corrupted or at least confused for life.

Otherwise, I am happy. -:(
