As a Hungarian I see that all tiny symbolic international gestures against my official president (Viktor Orban, a soft dictator for the last 12 years, who just visited Putin a few weeks ago) helps us to finally increase the chances of unseating him.

At the same time Putin still has nuclear weapons, so the risks of kicking him out of international organizations is much higher.

By that standard, aren't you saying North Korea should be admitted to the UN?

It has been. The standard of admission is generally 'internationally recognised state', not 'good government'.

It's not the first time he changed his mind in a day. Luckily he understands that we need NATO support or Russia would take over Hungary easily.
