@ellasbooktwt China has also been oppressing and wiping out parts of its own population for years. And what about all the countries supporting these genocides too? What about so many European countries supporting what’s happening in Israel?

[Samira @sam1raa]

@ellasbooktwt Yeah and that’s exactly the problem, because you know as well as I do that those countries are never actually going to get banned

[Samira @sam1raa]

@ellasbooktwt Okay then, where do we draw the line when it comes to banning countries for their actions? Because if we’re being real, it’s not just one or two countries committing human rights violations right now. There are way too many

[Samira @sam1raa]

@ellasbooktwt Just because someone represents a country doesn’t automatically mean they support the values or actions of that country’s politicians

[Samira @sam1raa]

@ellasbooktwt Sorry, but what you’re saying doesn’t really make sense. It actually supports his point, because it shows that athletes don’t have to share the same views as their government and shouldn’t be held responsible for what their country does, since they’re independent from that.

@shaidivadance How is all of that possible for her while Misha is struggling so much. Does she get more support from the federation or does she just come from a rich family and pay for everything herself?

[Samira @sam1raa]

@shaidivadance One thing I don’t get though. Does Sofia Samodelkina have the same problems as him? Because how is she able to train in the Usa with Raf, where living costs are probably super high and raf definitely can’t be a cheap coach either
