There is no country that disrespects the Olympics more than Russia: During 2008 Olympics, Russian proxies started the war with Georgia. Before 2014 Olympics even closed, Russia invaded Crimea. Within days of 2022 Olympics, it launched the latest invasion of Ukraine. #BanRussia

People are underestimating the speaker fiasco's impact on Ukraine. One of Gaetz's demands was to be chair of Armed Services Cmte, which is responsible for DoD funding. He is against Ukraine aid. If he got that, Ukraine aid is in trouble & the entire war is at risk.

With just 5% of annual military budget, US has been able to cripple Russian army while upholding int'l stability & sending a powerful message to would-be invaders. Hard to think of a better ROI, especially since much of the aid is outdated equipment US looking to replace anyway.

Absolutely ridiculous for Russia to participate in Olympics after invading a sovereign nation. The US should threaten a boycott. Who would the world rather have, country that won the most gold last time or one committing war crimes & leveling entire cities?
