I love Hungaryball. It loves us too much though in spite of how we left it in the cold in 1956.

They're still somehow bitter about it. I was there ten years ago and I was often chastised for all the unpopular foreign policy decisions that I personally made on behalf of the United States, and then I was informed that my country is white trash, ringed with ghettoes and propped up by boatloads of cheap Chinese imported shit.

I think we left half of Europe in the cold, back then.

They've always been nicer to me but I'm part Hungarian.

My Hungarian grandparents were bitter because they were about to be killed in the streets and the US still wasn't giving amnesty to Hungarian immigrants. But, meh. They got here eventually, with whatever they could scrape together. Hungary even gave my grandma's family land reparations after the fall of communism to make up for stealing her family's manor, which is now a state park I believe.

Woooo history!

Wow, you too?

My Hungarian (Austrian?) grandparents fled communism with my mom and aunt (4 and 2, and my grandmother was 7 mos pregnant) after WWII.

They spent a year or so in a displaced persons camp and came across on a troop transport as stateless refugees. Literally a shirts on your backs deal and they had to be sponsored by a church group.

My grandfather on that side was a Nemes and there's some history there but it's all in the ether now.

Not much could be done, due to the whole Red (Soviet) Army at the time. Also shit timing with the whole Suez thing. Like how Ukraine is now the background to Syria.

Yeah, definitely got overshadowed.
