"in 1980 the U.S. boycotted the Olympics in the USSR because of the invasion troops to Afghanistan"

Its all a bunch of political crap, isn't it? I wish the ruskies would have cleaned their proverbial clock when they were there. I have read that the CIA had soldier agents arming and fighting alongside the Afghans when Russia was there. What a crock of ^#&*!

Hypocracy rears it's ugly head.

If your locals don't quit blowing up shit, we may boycott it this year.

I will no longer do so.
Nevertheless, I think it's funny.

And a good comment on the bullshit that is politics. The people mean nothing to any government. Whether Patriarchy, Matriarchy, Oligarchy, Theocracy, Technocracy, Democracy, whatever, all the people at the top care about is their own POWER.

(And we all have to play their games, 'cause politics is the game-board for sorting out who gets what, when, where, why & how.)
