Reply to comment by OneForAllOfHumanity in Olympic head slams 'deplorable' government views on Russia by Murky_Interview3502

That's the issue

There are 70+ active conflicts and wars. If Russia is removed then they should do the same for all of them. No exception

There needs to be a threshold for conflict to cause a ban. Border skirmishes and internal strife are not the same as mobilizing hundreds of thousands of combatants and invading a country, bombing civilians and kidnapping children. There are valid reason for armed conflict, sometimes it's the government that's doing what it has to do, sometimes it's the rebels that are fighting an oppressive government.

I'm pretty sure that at a minimum, if your leader has been charged with war crimes, you're over that threshold...

(And yes, GW should have been charged too)
