This is a thread was about whether you think Russia should be banned from the Olympics since they are trying to take over another country via war. It was not a thread about what Germany or Japan did in WW2 or what they US has done in the past. But it turned into a thread about Russia vs Ukraine and we already have a thread on that so I've closed the thread to new posts. Everyone's views on that are largely set and don't need to be discussed here.
Ukraine should just surrender. Russia is taking back their former territory, and the residents there want to be part of Russia.
If America would stop sending weapons, or if Ukraine would stop fighting, the conflict would end immediately.
If Ukrainians wanted to be part of Russia there would be no war. I suppose you think Russia should also be able to reclaim all the former Soviet Warsaw Pact countries?
While waging an aggressive war Russia has no place in international festivals.

Russia should NOT be banned from the Olympics.
My on topic post was deleted.
The description of the thread is a poor attempt at justifying your obvious bias.
Please educate yourself and take a good long look at the sovereignty referendum results in Crimea, Sevastopol, Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.
Just be prepared then for the US to be banned from the Olympics as the U.S. is no stranger to war crimes, rape and deportation of children.
I'm deleting all off topic posts like this as they are off topic. This thread is about whether you think Russia should be in the Olympics even though they are trying to take over another country via war. Can someone name me the last time the US invated another country with the intent of taking it over permanently.
you logic is twisted - invading another country with the intent to take it over - means invading country takes all responsibility and care about people on taken territory
and that what happened in Crimea for example which Russia completele revitalized and people didn't mind in their majority
from the other side - multiple unprovoked invasions USA did over the years resulted in just complete devastation in attacked countries
so comparing to USA actions is not offtopic at all. As comparing actions of two countries can help us to decide.
Let's just take one episode - Invasion into Iraq on false evidence which resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths or even millions.
So was USA banned from olympic as resultg death and devastation were worse than what russia did to date in Ukraine?
And it was just one episode - Yugoslavia, Syria etc. Where is ban for US athletes? Where are sanctions against USA?
then why to boycott Russia? Ah, I understand - russians are always bad no matter what they do and US always good - I saw in movies much earlier before Ukraine war
Maybe this is why you think about Russia that way?

Afghanistan. The US government kept the charade going for 20 years until it finally fell apart.
Between no one wanting to host them and Bob Costas being the biggest liberal simp commentator. Basically unwatchable.
would not bother me. Break the sports up and have many cities host world championships for each sport. Share the joy of sport around the world and get rid of the IOC club.
You do realize that the Olympics is the only thing keeping track and field alive, and for dozens of sports from badminton to archery, it's the one and only time every four years that more than 0.0001% of the public pay them any attention?

not sure about that. I think track and field will still do well in cities that love track and field.
still, i am looking forward to next three games in Paris, LA and Brisbane.
Hopefully Ukraine will be there, and the country is rebuilding.

Like the way Nazi Germany took "all responsibility and care" for the Russians after they invaded Russia in 1941? Millions died from that invasion, but you won't know that.
Or maybe the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, which saw the Katyn massacres. Propagandists like you don't have much time for facts.

US has invaded 7 nations in the last 21 years.
No need to go back 83 years to a nation that has not existed for over 30 years

Referenda results known to be faked by Russia.
Know to be faked how? The CIA told us via the MSM?
