Persecution of Russian athletes

Why is Russia, and Russia alone, excluded from the Olympics time after time? Has the US ever been excluded, after a single one of the many countries it has attacked? I think not.
It stinks of corruption. The only reason the US wins so many medals is because Russia isn’t there. The results are skewed and meaningless because of this. The US wouldn’t have a hope of winning at the figure skating as one example. Americans are horrible at anything that requires artistic expression and grace.
Why are athletes being used as political porns to boost the US medal tally?
It’s not an Olympics without Russia.

we wouldn’t have this:

Russia is banned also from FIDE (the international chess federation), which is a thoroughly European body. The Olympics, too, are a UN, international socialism type institution. Not US controlled.

Because the USA and its cronies own everything. Thats why. Why and how is that a question?
Who else gets to simultaneously criticize Russia for invading Ukraine and then attack Venezuela, kidnap the sitting president then straight go into a war with Iran and kill the entire leadership?

Oh and then we do a slight oopsie cause Iran actually fights back, the entire world economy gets crippled because of f-ing israel and the USA, they admit to by throwing a tantrum about “how the f does europe and nato dare to not join their random attacks on random countries”.

Its “a rule for thee, not for me”

What else is new?
Does it seem to you like the world is ran by fairness and standards?

Iran didn’t fight back. China did.

As for Ukraine, you are looking at EU aligned Democrats and others that are responsible for any US involvement.

The war in Ukraine is a proxy war between the EU and Russia. Supporting it is supporting the EU. The campaign against Russia is from the EU, not US.

The EU tried to annex Ukraine, if anybody remembers. Then took up arms when this was denied. They see it as their manifest destiny to absorb Russia.

Now, what elements in the US resist this push?

Hmm…

What president was called a traitor and persecuted for rapprochement with Russia?

Shucks who could that be, hmm…

Iran is a proxy war with China.

Now, the real question is: if Iran is such a meaningless and capricious objective, why did China decide to make its cold war stance precicely there?

Agh, these questions… So hard… It’s probably the Jews…

Everything was and is a proxy war between the west and the east.
But the way the west goes about setting double standards is just disgusting.
In a fight between a honest asshole and a dishonest asshole, everyone is going to take the side of those who have at least enough spine to be up front with what you are doing.

The USA’s track record of pissing on everyone’s faces and then not only telling them that its raining but “smile or else” is very justifiably and reasonably backfiring.

But even if we were to engage in he said she said, we’d be still just left with 2 assholes.
The times when America was considered to be “the good guy” are by now over.

Excuse me, China is up front?

None of those are the reasons the US is hated. And it also has nothing to do with east or west.

The reason the US is hated is because they are powerful and win. That’s the reason.

Why else would you be siding with megalomaniac psychopaths who treat their citizens like sex dolls, and foreigners like crash test dummies, who basically run international trafficing of every kind, who run every kind of dictatorial regime you love railing aginst, who also are filthy liars and up front about nothing, and who sit on vast economic resources that they use to blackmail the world into their fucked up schemes?

Perhaps it’s ze Jews, yes?

The Arab world was on a crazy upswing. Then misteriously a socialist (Carter) wins the US presidency and Iran goes from the linchpin of stability and progress in that part of the world to the axis upon which all crime and all dictatorship turns.

My Gosh, what a mad coincidence.

Iran simply happens to be the single most geopolitically important piece of territory over there. Hate the map, not the US.

Or yeah, lol, hate Israel. The one state over there with a booming economy, respect for humans, liberty, and all that other horrific Jew shit.

I also want to inform you that you socialists are very loud, which creates a cucoon of sorts where all you hear is your own inane madness.

Actually, most people understand very well what president Trump is doing and support it whole heartedly. The world over.

And of course you find a way to blame Israel somehow. How unexpected. In case you hadn’t noticed Iran was attacking Israel first. Is Israel not alllowed to defend itself?

Stop using labels you don’t know the meaning of.

Psh.

I feel like, if you get $350 billion of your own money stolen by the United States, then being excluded from the Olympics is fairly insignificant.

Not ‘insignificant’ to the athletes-- ordinary people trying to live their lives while being used as political pawns by wealthy, fuckwit politicians and other parasites.

The entire issue is specifically this. That you think Israel is somehow a protected minority in the story.
If they want to make war, let them make war on their own and let them carry the consequences for it the same way Russia and Iran does.

Instead they rope in the USA and then decide to fuck up the entire global economy.
And everyone carries water for them as if they were beyond reproach.
The f they are.
