    We can't exactly cast the first stone when it comes to shooting down commercial airliners, but still... Russia.

    I just saw a blip where North Korean troops got confused and opened up Russian troops.
    I don't care if it's true on not. I'm going to believe it because it makes me happy.

    It is interesting how much has changed since Carter's time. Russia invades Afghanistan, the US is pressured by the IOC (Lord Killanan) not to boycott. Now Russia invades Ukraine and the IOC says you're not coming, no flags, no nothing (but admittedly - a lot of this was probably due to the drug stuff and invading Crimea WHILE they hosted the 2014 Winter Games.

    It’s more the drug stuff. And Russia isn’t really banned from the games. There’s a token suspension of some athletes but everyone else still competes. If there was a true ban, the figure skating debacle from 22 never happens.
