What does California have in common with the Russia we're writing about here? Slums and poor neighborhoods exist and have always existed in every wealthy country and city.

There are wealthy cities: Moscow, St. Petersburg, where wealthy elites live, but these aren't even entire cities, but individual districts. The children and families of Russian oligarchs and politicians most often live and study in the West: London, Paris, Rome, etc. After all, in the war in Ukraine, there are none of peopoe of the wealthy from Moscow, only from poor provinces in Asia.

In any country, you can watch some video of a wealthy district in the capital. They could travel outside Moscow and record something, but the Russian authorities wouldn't allow it, as they'd be forced to show the truth about poverty in the country. Btw, you hate the USA, why don't you read up on Cuba? Cuba was much richer before Castro's revolution, when the USA had significant influence there. Moreover, under Castro the percentage of political prisoners increased by a 10/15x. So it's not always the case that where the USA is, things are the worst.

The atmosphere in the French squad must be terrible, though, since Simon and Breisaz hate each other, and one steals the other's credit card during training camp. How can anyone function together in such a situation?

Aren't you outraged by Simon's presence in biathlon? She's facing a court case for stealing from a teammate...

A large and wealthy country, but its people are poor and frightened. Putin and a small elite are enriching themselves. Just like in 90% of African countries after colonialism, the president and his family steal all their wealth, while the rest live in poverty. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is also big, and so what if 99% of the people who live there are poor?

You keep writing about various countries from completely different parts of the world that you know nothing about: Gaza, Russia, Venezuela, etc. Maybe you could also tell us something about Cambodia or Nepal You hate the USA and would even prefer the devil as their enemy, but there are countries to which Russia has done much more harm than the USA, for example, all of Eastern and Central Europe: Poland, Czechia etc. Just understand that not everyone thinks the way you do.

For me all of the entire of Russian society is a great disappointment. In the early 1990s, they fought for Yeltsin- who, of courss, failed, but that's no reason to allow themselves to be manipulated by Putin- a man worse than even Brezhnev. In my opinion, it would be much easier to reach an agreement with the USSR than with today's Russia, because the USSR and its ruling Communist Party were much more predictable than Putin and his gang, who now is rulling in Moscow.

Tennis can also be updated now, as the rankings will not change.

For 50 years, we lived without gas from the USSR, and it was one of the best periods in European history, so we'll manage. It was a huge mistake by our politicians after the fall of the USSR on early 1990s, to allow themselves to be bought off with their dirty money. I hope it never happens again.

For me, these were very good Olympics, and British sport benefited greatly from them, and is still benefiting. I fear it will be much worse here. Canada also benefited very good on Vancouver 2010 – this is very good see in the medal standings of subsequent Winter Games after 2010 and earlier.

I'm curious what was written before London 2012? Did they attack their own country, or did they just keep quiet?

You look like an objective man, so I will ask you: which beer is better? Polish or Czech?

Do you think Italy deserved to win in 1990?

After that performance like that, the concert hall will be on fire – we need someone like that, not some nice guys who are forgotten 5 minutes after the song ends. I think that if someone is so good, they don't have to apply, but other people should go to his and ask to can appear.

Poland has so many great artists with amazing voices, yet it's fielding mediocre singers at Eurovision. Send this guy, he'll be a hit!

Their fight for Klimov, however, is embarrassing. If they insist on him, they shouldn't be start at all. It's clear that when you help them, they start overreaching instead of thanking, that someone invites them to your country. https://www.skijumping.pl/wiadomosci/37722/rosjanie-nie-przyjada-do-polski-z-oczywistych-wzgledow-pominiemy-zakopane/

Nel 2006, fu sorprendente anche la scelta dell'allora giovane Carolina Kostner come portabandiera: all'epoca aveva 19 anni e aveva vinto una sola medaglia di bronzo ai Campionati del mondo del 2005. Ora sono state scelte 4 persone, probabilmente per non offendere nessuno, ma c'è ancora un problema con Goggia (come puoi vedere, anche 4 non bastano) A mio parere Brignone se lo meritava per i risultati ottenuti in carriera + è nata a Milano, ma anche Goggia per non aver potuto essere presente nel 2022 a causa di un infortunio.

In realtà Fontana portava già la bandiera nel 2018. Ora, queste 4 persone sono probabilmente un po troppo e non sanno ancora cosa fare con Goggia, che avrebbe dovuto portare la bandiera nel 2022, ma un infortunio l'ha esclusa ed è stata sostituita da Moioli. https://www.oasport.it/2025/12/sofia-goggia-risponde-alzabandiera-a-cortina-non-ne-so-ancora-nulla/
