True neutrality would have those athletes banned anyways. After the doping the Russian sports authorities have committed ALL Russian athletes are questionable and should be banned, not just competing without the Russian flag or anthem. The only reason they still get to play is the massive bribes by Russia. Some neutrality...

I don’t know what you’d call storing nukes in a foreign country to attach to foreign planes and be dropped by foreign pilots then.

Reply to comment by RedWojak in Ukraine’s Zelensky rejects neutrality in sport at time of war by metrometro45
How about the massive doping scandal the Russian sports teams have been committing for years? Something that puts in question ALL Russian athletes eligibility? Something that should have them outright banned in the first place?
If anything the fact they get to still have any athletes compete, whether under the Russian flag or not is hugely discriminatory. No country should get away with that shit.

God I hate it when they subtly make it Ukraine’s fault that they don’t want to give something. At least have the balls to say “we don’t want to”.

We will know by July.

The unwillingness to provide military assistance is completely understandable.
It's the hairsplitting that mirrors rhetoric from countries like China that is reprehensible.

Your first stament is simply incorrect as it concerns advanced fighter aircraft. There is not a single F-16 variant used anywhere in the world that has the full capabilities of their American counterparts. The same holds for any other advanced fighter platform, including the F-35. This includes nuclear carry capability.
Now, that’s completely different than other types of nuclear weapon delivery and I have no expertise in any of that.
As to whether or not the Russians know whether a given F-16 has all the capabilities of the US market aircraft: believe me, they know. But it doesn’t matter, because it’s not the “fully loaded” capabilities that the Russians are worried about, just the basic air superiority and ground attack capabilities that these aircraft afford.
Nukes aren’t the issue with the aircraft possibility, just basic force multiplication.

> Boris Grozovski, a Russian economics expert from the Wilson Center think tank, told Newsweek the most interesting aspect of the IMF forecast was its estimate of 0.3 percent GDP growth for Russia this year, compared with Moscow's prediction of a 0.8 percent decline.
> "It seems to me that it is impossible to give a clear forecast for 2023 for now, but the decline of the economy by 1 to 2 percent, given the possible continuation of mobilization in Russia, seems more likely than economic growth."
> Ben May, director of global macro research at Oxford Economics, told Newsweek that the war in Ukraine, commodity prices and sanctions "Are going to be especially crucial" in determining Russia's baseline GDP forecast over the next two years.

The report summary says that they expect a further fall in trade with sanctioning countries that will however be offset by a rise in trade with non-sanctioning countries.
Developments like this are relevant I suppose: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/york-gorging-fuel-made-illicit-173455649.html

I love these reddit virtue signaling monkeys. They’re saying these things from the comfort of their own home, on their toilet in the good ol Ohio USA. And you get gaslighted as a Russian bot if you say otherwise.
Meanwhile the groups that are pressured to do these things don’t benefit personally and actually compromises their security in a dangerous part of the world.
People need to get their head out their ass.
