Just ban Russia and Belarus from participating FFS. Don't even let them in under neutral flags.
In principle I agree but considering the US, Saudi Arabia and Israel are participating in all competitions without any sanctions I don't see why we should be making a special case for Russia.
I was thinking more along the lines of how the burger regime could use it as a part of a full spectrum warfare strategy. I'd much rather see the burger regime get burnt by something like this, but I suspect it and its NATO pawns have more influence over such things than Russia or Belarus do.
Like in ancient Greece when the city states would join together only if they didn't have any conflicts and participate in the games to build a commonality between those who were allies
Hard disagree. Ukraine should be prevented from participating and Russia and Belarus should be treated like normal countries
