Yes, and Ukraine is very important to Putin- far more important than the Baltic states, Georgia or even Poland. Without Ukraine, the restoration of the former USSR will be impossible for Putin. Another thing is that with pro-Russian Ukraine, Poland will have its entire eastern and northern border (Kaliningrad) with unfriendly countries except Lithuania, so it will basically have to militaries the all entire eastern part of Poland and build various fortifications there.

After all, it's one thing to dislike someone, even to destroy something (if it remains a rumor, which it usually is), and quite another to steal money... In the Italian national team there was the Wierer vs. Vittozzi conflict, in the polish team in Sochi 2014 there were accusations of various strange things: destroying a skies, rifle, etc., but theft is a serious crime, not just some rumors.

If Jeanmonnot and Brasaiz are against Simon, perhaps they should have dropped Simon to improve the team spirit. Especially since there was the possibility of dropping Simon for her bad behavior. One thing is conflicts like the Vittozzi-Wierer on Italy NT some times ago, but money theft within the team is quite another. Simon clearly has a serious problem with himself.

Pensi che Brignone parteciperà a 3 gare o solo a SG e Gig, per esempio?

Despite everything, Stalin gave up: Finland, Greece, Austria, Yugoslavia (there were no USSR troops there). I don't think Putin would have given up on these countries, because even Stalin was more rational than he is. The Communist Party even limited Stalin, Brezhnev etc., who had to take its opinion into account, and Putin is like some old tsar who does 100% of what he wants and the all of the country just applauds him.

Chissà chi gareggerà nello slalom alle Olimpiadi per l'Italia? Ad oggi, dovrebbero esserci solo Della Mea e Peterlini. Collomb non ha ancora segnato un solo punto in CDM...

But the conflict between Simon vs Braisaz and the rest of the squad still continues?

Some times ago there was only sport and now there is sport and army, although many of them die in war because Putin doesn`t respect the lives of his own people.

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?
