I was not a fan of the second Iraq war … but are you really going to equate that with this?!?! I’d be really surprised if you thought they were really in the same ballpark.


Whether one was ‘less wrong’ than the other, all I’m saying is that by banning a country from competition, sports federations are setting a precedent. This will not be the last war the world sees, and they will have to decide on conflicts again. So invading Iraq and occupying it for a decade is okay because the USA didn’t want their land? Curious where the line is drawn.


Is WMDs a better excuse than de-nazifying the Ukraine. I'm not sure either holds much weight, even contemporaneously.
