1. Putin is a ruthless dictator who is taking Russia back to the bad old days

2. NEW VIDEO featuring @FoxyJazzabelle talking about Russia’s Homophobic Laws
   & the Olympics…

3. Tsar Putin keeps insisting that there are no anti-lgbtq laws in Russia,
   using children as a cheap excuse to get support from stupid people who
   assume the we’re all child molesters. He said that lgbtq athletes ought to
   feel safe, but told them to “leave children alone.” Putin keeps the lie
   going and his idiot followers believe hm.
   Thanks for a good discussion, James.

4. Yeah, the general question james asked is about some ideological
   differences between 2 states, could it work? the sad thing is everyone
   running a country, and the upper crust with the power are far more often
   than not pragmatists. so one might vocally campaign on their homophobic
   views because their base likes it, but a back room deal about exploration
   rights or funding for a defense contract will always hold more sway. even
   if you look at absolutely ideologically distinct groups that vocally hate
   each other, iran and israel have worked together in secret deals on more
   than one occasion while publicly being rather hateful of the other party.
   but enough money in arms or enough influence on a geopolitical strategy is
   worth quite a bit to the few shrewd people who actually do the deciding 

5. As much as I hoped the Olympic games would have been relocated to a more
   welcoming venue, now I only hope that the athletes and audience come away
   unscathed.

   I cannot fault any athlete for attending even if they support equal
   rights. They have worked hard to make it to the games and deserve to see
   their dreams come true as much as possible in the competitions.
