Russians aren't rebelling against Putin, they should not be rewarded with being allowed to compete in the Olympics. Yes, this is cruel to the athletes, but stands must be taken, the world needs to show Putin more consequences for being a fascist oligarch and would-be destroyer of the world for his own profit and dreams.
