To paraphrase a famous saying by Buddha:
Believe nothing, oh Facebook friends, just because you have been told it by a Brexiteer down the pub, or it is commonly believed by Daily Mail or Sun Readers and shared on Facebook, along with some made up garbage about the Lisbon Treaty and an EU Army, or because it is traditional within the Conservative Party, or because you yourselves have imagined it after a night on the piss and watching conspiracy theory YouTube videos from Brexit Central. Do not believe what Farage tells you merely out of respect for Farage - not that he deserves any as he's a compulsive liar (along with Boris). But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis by experts in their respective fields (because they have studied their subjects), you find to be conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to and take as your guide.

The only way in which Boris can both send the letter asking for an extension AND exit the EU on the 31st is if an EU country vetoes the extension. It's rather obvious when you think about it.
Keep your eyes on Hungary. That said, what's in it for Hungary to bow to Boris? What can the EU offer Voktor Orban not to veto? I would suggest that the EU's pockets are far deeper than Boris' and I doubt Orban wants funds to dry up by virtue of the UK leaving.
Don't flatter Boris by thinking this is his strategy; it belongs to someone far more politically savvy than him - his political technologist, Dominic Cummings. However, by stating he will both comply with the law preventing him from instigating a no deal Brexit and leave on the 31st, he's giving the game away through vanity, which tends to be the downfall of villains in films. Basically he's monologuing and revealing his plans.
