Yes, of course. As long as we let them stay in the union they have a fairly large amount of EU rules and regulations they have to abide by, and can’t go full little Russia.
The fact that Hungary can stall and blockade critical decisions is a structural failure in the EU governing system that needs amendment, not a reason to give a hostile country a literal foothold nation.
Ideally additional protective measures against foreign interference would also be implemented that keep future meddling at bay.
If that’s the issue they can leave at any time they want.
No. All that does is give putin full control, essentially turning the country into a hostile vassal state like belarus, right at the Austrian border.
As opposed to being an hostile vassal state that can veto EU decisions and undermine european security from within? Where do I sign?
Yes, of course. As long as we let them stay in the union they have a fairly large amount of EU rules and regulations they have to abide by, and can’t go full little Russia.

Pray tell how do you ammend the rules, considering such changes need to be unanimous?
And it’s better to have a clear enemy at your gates than one badly hidden inside the gates (just ask the trojans).
