the USA? Nothing, the CIA promised that if they overthrew the puppet government in 1956 they would help. But the help never came.

If you look at most of these supposed "Hungarians", you will find out they are German. They were born with German names. They spoke German as their native language. They were educated and studied in the German world, as they were part of the old Austrian-Hungarian world.
