We’ll see what comes first, Zelenskyy getting deposed or the Olympic games

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.
