pdr4332 149 Posted December 7, 2021 #571 Share Posted December 7, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opruh 125 Posted December 8, 2021 #572 Share Posted December 8, 2021 The "international community" (20+ countries), although not invited will declare a "diplomatic only" boycott to make a "strong stand" against China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Federer91 2,134 Posted December 8, 2021 #580 Share Posted December 8, 2021 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. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
