The space suit guy is so funny to me. It looks like since they didn’t want to make it look like a NASA space suit, so they just copied some cartoon space suit.

Are you seriously comparing the world’s greatest democracy with the world’s worst dictatorship?

56” at 6 feet distance is the minumum for me.

The Olympics has always been political. Refer to the 1936 Berlin Olympics for starters.

The United States Olympic Team made a grand entrance, team uniforms designed by Ralph Lauren, were the best dressed team there, elegant simplicity at its best. I wish all of them luck there./Just Asking - seoul62......

What’s with the goose-stepping, that’s so 1938.

I don’t want to see the kid accused of making a political statement.

He won't be -- the flag had to be affixed to the pole by some slave laborer, then given to the kid by some higher functionary who probably didn't have a clue, but both of them will be "reeducated" for the next ten or fifteen years while the kid goes to college in the U.S. ...
