Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on Monday to shelve the planned hosting of the "Friendship Games", a big multi-sports event that the International Olympic Committee had condemned as a purely political project.

After looking at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, what should we call what the IOC does?

They tried their s back in the 80’s through 2001. Anyone remember the ‘Goodwill Games’? I seem to remember that Ted Turner had something to do with it.

It was done in response to all the problems associated with the Olympics.

Almost sad, how the zeepers let their doink, not stronk village idiot do their dirty Ukie propaganda work.
Poor Maxi will vanish into thin air, when President Trump takes the little, corrupt, queer dictator behind the wood shed and puts an end to this U.S. taxpayer funded sh*t show war.
WhoTF does Zelensky think he is??
Another megalomania Napoleon??? Oh wait.....πŸ˜…πŸ˜†πŸ€£πŸ˜…
