Aren't countries that are invading other countries banned from the Olympics? That's the flimsy reason why Russia isn't allowed this time.

did an episode recently, not only about invading during the Olympics (the Olympic Truce) [where the US never faced any pushback over 10 Olympics games throughout the wars in West Asia] but also about destroying or occupying sports facilities in invaded areas
This was quite educational. Basically, the IOC's official stance is:
"You started governing the regions you control? That's interfering with athletes in the region! BANNED!"
"You started genociding the regions you control? Well, as long as you aren't governing, that's fine by us!"
(And Amerikkka is excluded from these rules. As is tradition.)
Did they get banned banned or are they still doing the thing where the athletes still compete but with generic uniforms and no Russian flag/anthem they did after the Sochi doping scandal?
The latter. The athletes are all there. It's so stupid.
Even though it's a pale comparison to the heart of the USSR anthem, massive L taking out the best one Olympic committee
This time they didn't even let Russians or Belorussians be part of the opening ceremony. They had a refugee team, but not a general one for people who couldn't be part of a different nation.
The ghouls in charge would probably just shrug and say Gaza isn’t a country. Rules are just made up to justify libs doing what they were already determined to do.
Israel has illegal occupations recognized by the UN in Palestine. They also occupy the Sheba Farms of Lebanon and the Golan Heights of Syria, two nations they have illegally invaded.
Because that would be political to allow Russia in, but also it would be political to ban the entity from the games too. So in an effort to be as unpolitical as possible we banned some countries for some invasions and kept some countries for some invasions.
The Olympics and FIFA are totally apolitical organizations btw.
I was under the impression that the reason they were banned was because of all the doping, and only tangentially related to the war. I haven't read that much about it though.
That was last time. This time it's because they violated THE OLYMPIC TRUCE, which only applies to Enemy States, apparently.
This is clearly not a real image lol
every member of the isn'treali swimming team is under 2' tall which is why they can fit so many in a single swimming lane. The ! is made up of their smallest teammembers, who are between 6 and 12 inches.
Is that why they can have so many team members? Swimming teams are measured by mass?
Bad foreshadow of America's future.
Oh no, a buncha progeny of the failsons are now going to rule the U.S's intellectual departments,
What am I to do?
Credulous rubes think there are 58 people on the team?
Others have pointed it out, but wtf is going on with the exclamation point, if it isn't edited did they choose the smallest tiny women on the team lmfao
This is a photoshopped image. They even hadvto fake this nonsense lmao.
A few of the people even appear a few times in the exact same poses.
The entire bottom row appears to be copy+pastes from the others. Going through "NOW!":
-
The N is the same as the one in "BRING".
-
The O is the same as the one in "HOME" rotated 180°.
-
The W is weird and I'm guessing stitched together from individuals manually
-
The exclamation point is the top part of the "T" from "THEM" rotated 90° and I don't care enough to find the dot
There are also 58 individuals depicted here. The US swim team is 10 whole people and people will look at this and say "yep, I'm sure the entity's swim team is 58 women, that checks out".
W might be the M flipped upside down and then stretched, which would account for the weirdly long legs
I'm teaching ants to arrange themselves into letters that spell "maybe blowing up the place where your hostages are held is not the most productive solution and actually probably killing them" but the ants keep getting distracted
plot twist: Katherine has COVID
Wild how they aren't trying to murder the netenyahoo regime for not accepting the peace deal offered by the unified Palestinian liberation front and China.
Wow GOBBLESS AMEN
Bibi doesn't want them home. He wants to genocide Palestine and steal their land and prolong this so he skips court in his own country to push off massive corruption charges.
I think every "Bring them home" hasbara should be met with Hannibal Directve and Greater Israel. Get those two terms in the public's mind as to 
's real motives.
🙏
Bad foreshadow of America's future.
Nah, they're genocide NIMBYs.
They should @ the IDF and ask them to stop killing hostages
I could've sworn Hamas had released the rest of the hostages months ago. Am I misremembering?
