Biden will not send official delegation to 2022 Olympics

A meaningless message that punishes people have nothing to do with it. But I do agree it is good you are not POTUS, how many other innocent people would you punish for some meaningless gesture?

You are such an emotional snowflake.

As long as you are an American, you should be educated about the behavior of the people whose territory you're competing in. Lending them credence in any way will only embolden them.

You want me to let them compete? Propose a new site other than Beijing for the Winter Olympics. Or, alternatively, postpone or cancel them.

The concern for our greater country exceeds that of the collective wills of a group of athletes. Or yours.

An old adage from Star Trek that I think is prudent in this context:

'The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.'

The stance of my government should take precedent over the efforts of athletes.

If you walked into my Oval Office and started spouting this crap, I'd dismiss you out of hand and have you escorted out of the WH by the Secret Service.

Which is why you are not president.
 
No connection at all between the two events.

I'm sorry you don't want to acknowledge it. Carter was right to boycott it. Yes, Carter.

And also, the Miracle on Ice having taken place earlier that year, where Russia was heavily favored to win gold in the ice hockey portion of the 1980 Winter Olympics, in which the USA pulled off one of the greatest sports upsets in Olympics history and one of the biggest propaganda coups against communism during the entire cold war era, why would we have felt compelled to compete in Moscow in the Summer?

The athletes back then understood the gravity of Russia's behavior towards Afghanistan, and our athletes now need to be made to understand the behavior of China now towards the Uyghurs.

You have no understanding of nuance.

I cannot acknowledge what does not exist anywhere but in your mind.

You have no rebuttal.

You are correct, I have no rebuttal for fantasies about being a "bad ass" president. They are your fantasies and you are welcome to them.

I don't want to be "bad ass."

I want people all over the world to understand our stances on the atrocious behavior of the CCP. I don't care whose ambitions suffer because of it. Any action that would compromise those stances would be disallowed.

Also, please spare me the melodrama. You're not convincing anyone.

I have no desire to convince anyone of anything.

Our athletes are getting to compete and I am glad about that and will show my support for them by watching as much as I possibly can.

You on the other hand get to go sulk in the corner.
 
Exactly it should be all or nothing, but the Dems would cut NBC's throat after what they shelled out for the rights to the games.

The last guy had all 4 years to do something about China having the Olympics. I guess nothing was the answer

I never said I wouldn't root for them, I am simply stating what I would do.

I hope they go kick China's commie ass.

But that doesn't stop me from saying that allowing them to go there is just an endorsement of China's actions toward innocent religious minorities within their own borders.

You on the other hand would have lent credence to Hitler if he had an Olympic event playing out in Berlin while he was gassing Jews.

But hey, do what you like. Your character is what will suffer most here.
