Finally, someone is holding the International Olympic Committee accountable.
The IOC has spent years pretending that "neutral" status somehow separates russian athletes from the regime waging the largest war in Europe since World War II. Now, after restoring the russian Olympic Committee, it is facing consequences.

Русский мир это самое страшное что может придти в вашу страну, ваш город, ваш дом.
Россия государство террорист

Cut aid to Ukraine, stopped giving weapons, even stopped selling them to Europeans, raised oil prices with the Iran war, quarreled with Europe, and practically buried NATO"
