shouldn’t Olympic sports and politics not mix?

Is not the first or last tome that country that are in open conflict go at it during a sporting event.

Wouldn’t the contrary be considered discrimination?

If Palestine wouldn’t face off Israel?

The Olympics are 110% political, there is no way to make them not mix.

If Russia is good at propaganda, why do you think the U.S. and other countries that own the largest media holdings are not good at propaganda? You approve of discrimination for some reason - which means you are already susceptible to propaganda.

You’re on Reddit- literally everything here is based on (leftist, generally extreme) politics.
