Needless.
BlacRock and JPMorgan disagree.
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes, yeah!
Maybe ban Russia from the Olympics? Totally, none of this Russian Olympic committee bullshit.
Sure if we ban israel from the Olympics too.
Maybe ban Russia from the Olympics?
They’re already banned from the Olympics. Their athletes compete under the “Olympic Athletes from Russia” banner and represented by the Olympic Flag.
I think that’s what OP is referring to.
That gets tricky, because there are a number of other Russian nationals competing under different national banners.
Israel has welcomed the highest number of athletes, with 25 former Russian athletes now competing under the Israeli flag. Serbia followed closely with 19 athletes, while Germany and France attracted 13 and 12 athletes respectively.
Would all these athletes also become banned?
They’re even drafting Olympic athletes?
See Mohammed Ali. See Elvis Presley.
Ali was convicted of draft dodging when he very publicly burned his draft card and refused enlistment. He was arrested, in Houston, after repeatedly refusing to acknowledge his name during induction. Then he spent the next eight months fighting the charge of draft dodging as a conscientious objector, ultimately appealing and winning his defection in a SCOTUS decision. Along the way, all his titles were revoked.
Presley got an absolute sweetheart deal and spent his two years “at war”, living in a West German hotel, recording for RCA in his ample downtime, getting addicted to amphetamines thanks to a ahem helpful senior officer, and then being discharged with honors after being promoted to sergeant as part of a giant photo-op.
It does not look like Pielieshenko’s experiences were comparable in either respect.
Nah, dude went out Patrick Tillman style.
