I'm okay with individuals from offending countries competing, as long as they denounce the state by separating from its governing body, and choose to train outside of their confines.
Let an Israeli or Russian compete, but only if they move away from their country and disassociate, opting to relocate and represent another country where possible - and we'll see the best possible outcome of banning war-hungry nations.
The countries forced to fly under the Olympic flag? Last time I checked, the IOC hadn't forced this...
Russian and Belarus, obviously. They're the ones that were banned by the IOC.
What answer were you expecting? If you want to ban any country that's been in a war, you'd basically be watching San Marino compete against Lichtenstein...
