In his defense, the Olympics are supposed to be a time where mature people set aside geopolitical tensions and just have fun competing for a few weeks. But this is Putin we’re talking about

I thought the Olympics was a time when we see if the country that paid the biggest bribe to the IoC can put on a show?

Fuck putin and fuck the russian government.

Also while we're at it, fuck the IOC. The sports themselves are cool though.
