It's time the world comes together to stop u.s. government manipulation of the world bodies. This bullshit move to ban Russia from the winter olympics is 'punishment' for Russia interfering with their plan to tear down Syria. They had milllions, poosibly billions riding on overthrowing Syria. It's time to limit the U.S. government's influence and power to only within the borders of the U.S.onl yfor the short time remaining that they will have it. Just like China is slowly but surely stopping U.S. military from sailing the Seas of China, other countries need to begin to take similar moves. America is one country, there are more of you than there are of them. With britain by their side, that's one and a half, with britain and australia, that makes two, with britain australia new zealand and canada maybe three. Quit being scared of war, coz' it's coming anyway. Appeasement has never worked and never will work.

MOSCOW —
Prominent Russians expressed anger, despair and resentment on Wednesday
after the International Olympic Committee’s decision to ban the Russian
Federation from the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.
The ban is a historic act of punishment for widespread doping among Russian athletes that Olympic officials believe was supported by the government.
It was a body blow for a nation that prides itself on its sporting prowess and was ecstatic over its victory in the 2014 Winter Olympics medal count. Just four years later, the Russian Federation’s count will be zero, and the country is considering a boycott.
Mikhail Gorbachev, the former Soviet leader celebrated in the West for helping end the Cold War, called the IOC decision “outrageous.” The decision would ban Russia’s flag and anthem but allow individual athletes to compete under a special designation, as Olympic Athlete from Russia (OAR).
“It’s just bad, and that’s it,” Gorbachev told the state sport news agency, R-Sport. “It’s sport, damn it.”
