All of major Olympic countries let down the athletes and the world by not immediately moving to a different country in 2020 after China released COVID on the world.
Sounds like Nazi Germany in 1938. My btother spent the equivalent of 9 months/year for 14 years. That’s how I know that any ‘diplomatic observers’ would never see anything but the open-close ceremonies.
The rest of the time would be stolen by ‘a dinner in your honor to celebrate our great friendship’
I can easily sit here and say I wouldn't go on principle. These athletes, however, have been working towards this most of their lives and between them and their patents have spent a fortune. So I'm not going to judge anyone that participates. I bet Trump would have put the full boycott on by now and no one would be going and that would be that. Or moving it elsewhere which would be a major undertaking.
Trump said he wouldn't have boycotted at all, but that could be under the premise that he'd have gotten China in line and not doing any, or as much of the things they do with Biden in the Oval Office.
As far as moving it, Tokyo has a good amount of the infrastructure for hosting an Olympic Games in place already from their 2020 Games, and they got screwed really badly on that deal by the pandemic, so it'd seem right and logical to have moved it there if anyone had the foresight and testicular fortitude to have done so.
Oh, I didn't realize that about Tokyo. You're right, China wouldn't even be dreaming of acting the way they are if Trump was still President. Xi got a healthy dose of respect for Trump when he bombed Syria with Xi at the dinner table at Mara Lago.

Stay home… save whines.
