  1. Do not change the topic. Putin is responsible for thousands who died in his unjust war, both Ukrainian and Russia and destruction that caused suffering and misery to the people of Ukraine. The Russian people should realize the damage Putin has done not only to Ukraine but to Russia itself. To stop the misery of the Ukraine and Russian people alike. Putin should be stripped of his power to give peace a change. I hope in due time the Russian people will realize this. Why should the Russian people suffer a bad image, sanctions for this man who has no regard for human life including Russian soldiers themselves just to achieve his evil, expansionist goal to once again revive the USSR, the iron curtain that made life miserably for Russians?

  5. Great decision to punish the hardworking athletes for a decision that was completely out of their control. And let's not forget the rampant corruption in the IOC

  8. No one is innocent but always want to pretend as, the results are people having less and less sympathy. What a cruel picture of the future.

  27. Im starting to sympathise more with russia! The west are playing dangerous games. Also the opening was a satan worship event! End of times! I dont know if i will fight for this new europe.

  31. Und was ist mit Israel, warum werden diese nicht ausgeschlossen? Oder die USA, oder viele andere Länder, die Kriegsverbrechen und/oder Menschenrechtsverletzungen begehen?

  39. The only ones who should be banned from attending are the Russian government and military. The athletes shouldn’t be banned from attending especially if they can prove they’re against Putin and the war and only want peace which the Olympics have to show

  40. This just not this Olympics but 2028 USA Olympics and the Olympics 2032 Russia federation Athletics are being punished publicly and silently I hope some one speaks against it before it's too late.
