I think it is you who misunderstands NATO, or have been wrapped up in this view that it constitutes a US led policy hegemony. It doesn't at all. It is extremely limited in scope. What NATO member was Orban promoting irredentism against? You mention 4. Ukraine is not a NATO member, maybe never will be, so any action taken against or in spite of Ukraine has no bearing at all on the terms of NATO.
