Would be funny as hell to see the leader of Taiwan visit Ukraine next, just to piss off China, just because Xi went to Russia this past week to show his support.

True neutrality would have those athletes banned anyways. After the doping the Russian sports authorities have committed ALL Russian athletes are questionable and should be banned, not just competing without the Russian flag or anthem. The only reason they still get to play is the massive bribes by Russia. Some neutrality...

Reply to comment by RedWojak in Ukraine’s Zelensky rejects neutrality in sport at time of war by metrometro45
How about the massive doping scandal the Russian sports teams have been committing for years? Something that puts in question ALL Russian athletes eligibility? Something that should have them outright banned in the first place?
If anything the fact they get to still have any athletes compete, whether under the Russian flag or not is hugely discriminatory. No country should get away with that shit.

Yes, but NATO is an organization that's supposed to work together, if Turkey isn't working together why should it remain in the group? So it very much matters what Turkey's reasoning is, if it's a legitimate concern for the overall well- wing of the organization that's one thing. If it's for their own political or financial gain or just to be petty then perhaps its membership should be reviewed.

Exactly, China isn't going to share information when it could potentially hurt other countries if they say nothing. And also they won't share anything that might implicate them in anything illegal or immoral will also not be shared.

Is there some way to donate to these brave heroes to pay for their fines and other financial problems they are facing? These men should be rewarded for doing what their government is too scared/corrupt/immoral to do.

Ah, but you're forgetting about the elevator shaft to the sub-basement. And for some reason they put a window on the doors.

Reply to comment by spyczech in Lithuania should phase out Russian language teaching - president's adviser by Interrete
It's not the language they have an issue with, but the Russian policy of using force to defend Russian speaking people in foreign nations. If a large enough portion of their population speaks Russian Lithuania could potentially be attacked by Russia on such absurd grounds.

Yea, but then you do what makes you happy and everyone shames you for not finding happiness in the same things that give them happiness, so you become unhappy.

I never forgot. I did think that Stalin just bastardized Lenin's idea for a socialist society, but I was wrong about that too. I thought Lenin generally had good intentions with a flawed political system, but it turned out he was a murderous shit-lord as well.

Still not as bad as Russia. They have controlled more governments in a shorter period of time and have had a much larger body count to reach their goals.
