If both U.S. and Japan skip it as well, the Olympic Game is done. If things are not looking up soon, which I doubt, both countries could probably stay out. This could be part of gradual move to clear out outsiders who could be trapped in S. Korea and become part of collateral damage when things go hot.

P!

Yet if Korea had been independent in 1936 I bet they would have attended Hitler’s Berlin Olympics.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

On another note....what a feckless bunch of cowards.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I lived there for two separate years during the Cold War closer than the Olympic site and I’m still alive.

[pepsionice]

These governments might want to go and discuss this with their athletes. I suspect that they already have plans and no intention of skipping the games.

The same crowd ought to be having serious problems with the 2022 FIFA World Cup soccer games in Qatar....with a fear of ISIS terror acts. Yet, they don’t seem to be talking over that issue.

[kallisti]

Yeah, but few other than Winston realized how unsane Adolph was in 1936.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I once read that if he’d have died in 1938 he’d be the biggest hero in German history.

[kallisti]

Probably even up to ‘42.

[lee martell]

All three of those same nations would inspire many foreigners to say the same thing about them. France, Germany and Austria have all absorbed the shock of multiple terrorist actions.
I suspect tourism is sinking, especially in France and Germany.

[Vigilanteman]

True. Most of the western press fawned over him as a man with impeccable manners and taste. I believe Time magazine even named him man of the year in 1938.

Most of the liberal media didn't lose their infatuation with "Uncle Adolph" until he invaded their even better friend the Soviet Union some 19 months after that.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Well, there is no prospect of impending war at the time.

[kallisti]

We can thank Ribbentrop for the grace period before Barbarossa.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Correction: Well, there is [was] no prospect of impending war at the time.

[octex]

Our pacifist POTUS Carter canceled the US from attending the Olympics after the athletes had been training for years. I think it was 1980 and he was ‘skeered’ of the USSR.

[Gene Eric]

Are France, Germany and Austria any safer?

Are young females getting raped by Islam in SK?

Just boycott them for their cruelty to dogs.

I personally hate them.

[Campion]

That’s KJU’s plan. Ruin the Winter Olympics with threats and weapons tests, unless extensively bribed not to do so.

[DaveA37]

I could care less about the Olympics but I DO CARE what that crazy fat idiot is doing with his rockets and potential weapons. Sooner or later something bad is going to happen and then all bets are off.
