Yes, I know about such occassional boycotts and cancelation of specific events, especially in the early days of the conflict when things were extra heated. You know I am against them. But when one says "Tchaikovsky is banned," it indicates something much more drastic and categorical in anybody's mind who doesnt follow such specifics and pay attention to detail.

The irony is the immigrants, once they have established a foothold, start to vote conservatively.

States who are at war cannot become a NATO member as long as they are at war. So Ukraine becoming a NATO member needs Russia to make peace with Ukraine. However, Russia will NEVER make peace with Ukraine as long as they won't get guarantees that Ukraine will not become a NATO member; allowing that would be completely foolish.
Won't happen. Only when Russia becomes a NATO member as well.

That could have happened a few decades ago... Now I don't see it.

Around the year 2012 I asked my History teacher why won't Russia join. and she told me: "Russia has Europe wrapped around its little finger."

USA never wanted Russia.. I remember USA and the Soviet talked ally, but the Soviet changed mind or it was USA.. Other France was joined NATO in 1950's, and France quited NATO.. Today France is NATO member.. I remember.. If you want to find a fact in wikipedia..

Not much time to check the news lately, saw some headline about NATO considering attacking Russia directly... Is that bull propaganda or should we be worried?

No, they asked some obscure general if Nato "would be" ready, just in case Russia attacks. Of course, he couldn't say no, so he said yes without a blink.
Then, click bait LCI headlines : Nato considers war against Russia

The Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, is quoted: "Russia has turned Ukraine into Afghanistan, it is already a no man's land, and it is in a rift that cannot be nursed any longer... Russia will win the battle, time is on Russia's side. Ukraine must give up."
Words of a real and realistic leader. My respect!

That's bull, though, because in Afghanistan neither won.

It is absolutely incomparable. New nuclear reactors are a real revolution. The West knows how to improve existing technologies and make a product out of it. However, technical progress itself is not moving forward there, and partly artificially. It is impossible to call technical progress the endless improvement of a vacuum cleaner or a refrigerator.
I expect real technical breakthroughs in the coming years from Russia.
Like substituting A320neos with Tu204 from the 1980s for their airlines for example?
Even Russia's flagship technology showcase, their civil/manned/commercial space program is in a sorry state (after years of mismanagement by a certain Dimitry Rogozin).

What's more sad to me is leaders who don't even pretend to care about their own people. It is my opinion that Orban is a true leader and not like the rest.
My two cents.

That's because they didn't move all the way around just to become a rebel. If they wanted to rebel, they could do so in their own country. They want to live, and for that, they will side with the strong.
