Singling out Sweden over that is so dumb. The EU parliament itself has made that criticism; including Finland that they don't seem to have a problem with.

But Sweden is being blocked by Turkey too, and Turkey is taking the majority of the blame for Sweden not being in NATO yet. No one’s blocking Finland, so Hungary would be on its own.

Yes that's the dumb part. Hungary's reason for blocking Sweden would also apply to Finland if they were logically consistent.

It's been obvious for months now that the only reason Hungary is stalling is because Turkey doesn't approve yet and Orban thinks he can milk EU for releasing funds in exchange for ratification in the meantime, but the moment Turkey approves Sweden, Hungary is going to drop any demands and ratify Sweden immediately to not be 'the last one' to ratify and pretend to 'save face'
It has fuck all to do with Orban being Russian crony and everything with him being good ol slimy opportunist.

It's funny in a way. Like Orban's a mini-Putin who's convinced himself he's a tactical genius, and is entirely unaware that the EU has grown tired of his bullshit and is perfectly willing to call his bluff. At least I hope so. This can't go on like this.

I have no such faith in the EU.
Seems like a Chinese-designed scam at this point.
"Peace plan, peace plan, let's continue poisoning our citizens and buying Russian and Chinese neurotoxins while we get kickbacks and ritzy real estate."

Nice deflection.
It's because Erdogan and Orban ride Putin like he's their daddy.
It has nothing to do with anything else.
They are Putin's patsies in NATO.
Simple as that.

Orban has no one else he can take it out on so he's going for Sweden.

What if I told you it's theater and has nothing to do with Sweden at all? They are both after consessions and probably have a deal with Putin.

Unlikely, but if Finland joins it becomes moot as Sweden is buffered by Finland.
