That description of Hungarian-Romanian relations is 100% sure to insult some Romanians. RO and HU took terms in taking a mixed-ethnicity land, each one always taking more than justifiable by ethnical composition.
At the end of the show at the 42:20 min mark Mr. Little mentions the Soviet Foreign Minister Yevgheny Primakov - now there is a name that has affect4ed us until today on Ukraine for several reasons. When Putin was appointed Russian Prime Minister in 1999 by Boris Yeltsin, he was going to face a Presidential Election, when Yeltsin stepped down, between himself and Primakov, Now keep in mind Putin was a nobody and Primkov was polled to win with up to an 80% majority. BUT...BUT....then the Moscow and other apartment bombings happened, including a failed attempt in Ryazan (the Chechens were blamed as scapegoats to start the second Chechen war) and Putin made his infamous "we will hunt them down and waste them in the outhouse" speech on State TV and guess what ? Primakov lost. To confirm how Putin killed his own citizens in cold blood to rig an election and set a pretext by using his former KGB and FSB connections to stage this, google "Ryazan Sugar".
It's kinda curious that the thing that a Ceaușescu did that led to his demise in a unique way was implement a food poor environment to pay off IMF debts. Many lessons there about public support, economy, pseudoscientific IMF-imposed austerity measures, etc.
@@VictorVæsconcelos An odd term but both ways have been heard before. For example Leonard James Callaghan, Baron Callaghan of Cardiff sayed: "When we reject unemployment as an economic instrument - as we do - and when we reject also superficial remedies, as socialists must, then we must ask ourselves unflinchingly what is the cause of high unemployment. Quite simply and unequivocally, it is caused by paying ourselves more than the value of what we produce....We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession, and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting Government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists, and that in so far as it ever did exist, it only worked on each occasion since the war by injecting a bigger dose of inflation into the economy, followed by a higher level of unemployment as the next step. Higher inflation followed by higher unemployment."-Labour Party Conference Speech 1976.

What an amazing conversation!
Thanks. It was indeed!

The same logic is used for Yugoslavia. Maybe commie economics is just bad.
@@johnnotrealname8168 But the point here was that they deviated from it by implementing austerity measures rather than economic stimulus.
@@VictorVæsconcelos They deviated from commie economics? Yugoslavia? You know the point of Yugoslavia right?

By the way, the sheer number of times I have to rewrite comments that are immediately deleted simply for stating basic historic facts is scary.
