That's a world apart from the US dropping off some RPGs and training to the Taliban against the USSR.
You were doing that crap up until a few years ago, and that's assuming you're not doing it still. It just comes off as "it's ok when we do it".

Nothing, why would it be otherwise? The US and Israel don't answer for every crime of every militant group they sponsor.

For the sake of US readers here I think it’s worth pointing out that what American right-wing political wonks think of as the long march through the institutions never really did happen in the Central European countries that integrated to the EU and NATO.
I mean... the integration into the EU was the long march. It had it's advantages, like gradually replacing the blatant communist "you better have an envelope with you, if you want to get anything done" corruption with "we follow the law, it just so happens that the law says we need to give money to a network of "N"GOs to tell us to do what we wanted to do anyway" corruption, but the establishment institutions are just as cooked as the American ones.
Please define "acting more rationally"
"Acting proportionally to an aggression" for a start.
What specifically is it about of the US, Israel, and the Gulf States recent dealings with the Islamic Republic of Iran and the IRGC that you view as "irrational"
The bombing campaign in itself far exceeds anything Iran has done against US or Israel, and threatening to bomb their civilian infrastructure was psychotic.

For the same reason it's happening to Spain or Greece? It doesn't matter what the immigrants themselves ideally would want.

- EU founding values: Commission starts legal action against Hungary and Poland for violations of fundamental rights of LGBTIQ people - July 15, 2021
- Commission refers HUNGARY to the Court of Justice of the EU over violation of LGBTIQ rights - July 15, 2022
- In the light of the foregoing considerations, I propose that the Court: Declare that, by adopting (Law LXXIX of 2021 adopting stricter measures against persons convicted of paedophilia and amending certain laws for the protection of children), Hungary has failed to fulfil its obligations under EU law in the following ways... - June 5, 2025
Just off the top my head, and I think I recall a similar case about their immigration policy. This is without getting into how the EU pushes it's cultural agenda by attaching strings to investment/infrastructure funds (the Polish case got dropped because they were content to twist their arms that way), or how they blatantly manipulate member states' elections.

It's fine, I didn't bet for the money.

The "continuous fights it picks with the EU" are precisely about the EU decision makers not being happy with the type of people Hungary elects for itself, and the domestic/cultural policy it wants to set.

Even after you've decapitated half of their leadership, they're still acting more rationally than either the US or Israel, so quite a lot, actually.

I will again point out that this would still be true, if you reinstated African slavery today.
In Afghanistan you supported literal Bacha Bazi enjoyers. In Syria you supported the Free Syrian Army.
I find the question bizarre and naive in general. You think there are many militias in the Middle East that don't engage in rape, murder, and torture, that the US can pick and choose from? The only reason you haven't heard about this is that Israel can blast their own cries through a friendly megaphone, while everybody else gets a shrug.
