The Myth of Consensual NATO Membership

THE MYTH OF "CONSENSUAL" NATO MEMBERSHIP I CONSENT I CONSENT I CONSENT I DON'T! ISN'T THERE SOMEBODY WE FORGOT TO ASK?

A satirical collage shows NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Swedish politician Magdalena Andersson, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen saying “I consent,” while Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán says “I DON'T!” beside the Hungarian flag. The punchline mocks the idea of unanimous consent in NATO expansion, implying that Hungary was the dissenting member whose approval was forgotten. It is used as a political reaction to jokes or arguments about NATO, Sweden, and Hungary’s opposition.
