The nazis hosted the olympics, no imperialist war has ever stopped the olympics from letting someone compete. Even in the worst possible interpretation of Russia's actions in Ukraine, barring them from the Olympics for it would be an entirely new precedent.

Russia is a fascist state. You are a fascist for supporting it.

Y'all will take the most lukewarm, neutral, fair takes on topics related to this issue and call it "support for Russia" is incredible. |

Nowhere, anywhere in op's comment did she say that she supports Russia.

It feels weird to be the one to break this to you, but the nazis are widely considered to be fascists too. Some would say they were even a lil bit worse than Russia on the goosestepping front.
