Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022 News

Maybe it was deleted, but I read in some threads today that our good friend and cancellation expert Orangehair accused Italy being in league with dictatorships like China.

No, thats not Italy but the criminal regime of Viktor Orban which (apparently) actually think s***ing up to people like Xi is beneficial to his countries' interests.

But still, not having a diplomatic boycott of Beijing 2022 is not equal to being "Pro China" or "Pro Xi".

I think its not fair to put countries who simply dont participate in the power political games du jour in the same category with spineless corrupt criminals like Orban

The "international community" (20+ countries), although not invited will declare a "diplomatic only" boycott to make a "strong stand" against China.

As expected, Australia has today joined the US and New Zealand in a diplomatic boycott only of the Beijing winter olympics in China.

"Pay for its mistakes" seems like a thread to me in the way, that some US athletes might be somehow "found covid positive" and not allowed to compete. Would not surprise me at all ......

Obviously IOC will send the samples to Washington DC and Canberra to do the test.

Hasn’t pleased some who want a full boycott.

Happy to learn a new phase "ministerial boycott" and maybe "vice ambassador boycott"  is yet to come.

Timbuktu will also not send anyone to the Olympics, because the weather is going to be too cold and they are not fond of the snow.
