In the midst of the war with Iran, the US not only did not create any obstacle, but also convinced the Iranian national team to participate in the World Cup in the US.
Germany, Canada and other European pigs shout in every corner that they are by no means in a state of war with Russia, but at the same time they bend over backwards to bite the Russian hockey team at any age.
At the same time, in every other sport, these countries already oppose the Russians without a peep. Because they know that for any violation of the regulations they will be thrown out immediately, as required by law. And only in hockey, after uniting in a group of jackals, do they try to hold a demarche - either by refusing to play or by refusing visas.
The famous rules-based order at its best.
