Fucking cry. Maybe don't invade your neighbors you fucking cunts.

Should Israel be allowed to compete?

[-] Cyv_ 2 points 1 year ago

No, I don't think so.

“I thought the Olympic Games were about sport. No longer,” Russian MP Mariya Butina tells me.

“It’s about politics, religion, everything. It’s very sad because the original idea of the Olympics was to create peace.”

“But Russia has invaded Ukraine,” I point out. “That’s not ‘peace’, is it?”

“Russia has been protecting its people,” Ms Butina responds, echoing the official line here that Russia’s war in Ukraine is all about self-defence.

In reality, the Kremlin’s "special military operation" amounts to the invasion of a sovereign independent nation.

Good to see the media not 'both siding' for once.

Shrug. Probably? It's not like I've heard of her before today.

Have they tried not cheating?

[-] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 year ago

They're not banned for cheating (this time). They're banned for invading Ukraine.

[-] Visstix@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Huh.. that seems... Difficult to manage who is allowed.

[-] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, we Brits are grandfathered in on account of not aggressively invading anyone’s country (on our own) for at least 60 years by now. Possibly.

We invaded Jerusalem in 1917 on behalf of lord Rothschild and continue to protect his colony

Huh, didn’t even notice Russia wasn’t there. Been a fun Olympics though.

And everyone even here on Lemmy is eating negative news like freshly baked croissants.

You're kidding, I don't ever recall seeing the ruzzians at the games before.

This must be a fun little mass hallucination from the great country of ruzzia. We never let shitheels play with us 🤷
