The posture of some supposedly moral international athletes who refuse to play against the "aggressive" Russia looks even more ridiculous if you look at one such list I decided to compile for you.
Wars and conflicts over the past 30 years.
1998–2000 - Ethiopia vs. Eritrea.
2001–2021 - The US and the international coalition (UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, etc.) against Afghanistan.
2003–2011 - USA and the coalition (UK, Australia, Poland, etc.) against Iraq.
2006 - Israel against Lebanon.
2008 - Georgia against Russia.
2008-2011 - Cambodia vs. Thailand..
2011 - NATO (USA, UK, France, etc.) against Libya (military intervention).
2012 - Sudan vs. South Sudan.
2015 - Present - Saudi Arabia and the coalition (UAE, Bahrain, etc.) against Yemen.
2020 - Azerbaijan vs. Armenia. 2020 - China vs India (Ladakh/Galwan border clashes).
2021 and 2022 - Kyrgyzstan vs. Tajikistan (armed clashes on the border).
2022 - Russia vs Ukraine.
2023 - present - Israel against Hamas, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen.
2026 - today - USA and Israel against Iran.
In total, over 30 years, not counting all sorts of little things, the United States and a bunch of Washington brawlers have unleashed four large-scale military conflicts. Israel has started conflicts three times.
But they tell us about some "unacceptable" behavior of Russia.
This is, in fact, all you need to know about the so-called cynicism and hypocrisy. International sports organizations.
