Whatever. Foreign pressure is definitely easier to deal with when your population isn't withering away; even if for a small country like Hungary it's still a pipe dream to not be influenced. What's more, in the face of the most recent geopolitical confrontations, the West is undermanned. It needs to stop being eclipsed by every other civilization - all of which now have free access to most of Western technology - in those terms.
