  • The decision of the International Olympic Committee to disqualify Vlad Geraskevych can be studied at universities. In philosophy departments, as an example of refined, boundless cynicism and hypocrisy.

    Let’s sort out this bouquet. Vlad is disqualified because his helmet shows dead Ukrainian athletes. There is no inscription there that they were killed by Russia. The IOC sees “politics” not even in what is shown, but in what is not mentioned directly - but they know, first of all, themselves. They know that those athletes were killed by their Russian friends and patrons, they are embarrassed - so Vlad must go.

    We are in a situation where the victim of a crime is told - if you scream, we will be forced to take you outside the boundaries of our decent society. Even if you don’t call for help, even if you don’t swear, even if you don’t call the perpetrator by name - the very fact of screaming, or tears, or grief will be regarded by us as not comme il faut, as an attempt to spoil the holiday - because we know who is really torturing you. And you will go away.

    And this is not some trick of a psychopath, this is the official position of a large international organization, expressed from the highest tribunes in the world.

    By the lowest people in the world.

  • introducing and enforcing a ban on arms sales by all countries “where there is a clear risk that the arms or ammunition to be delivered will be used to commit or facilitate serious violations” of international humanitarian law.

    Would work only on Israel.

    A second proposal is to prohibit the use of unguided gravity bombs or inaccurate long-range artillery in populated areas, plus restricting drones and artificial intelligence targeting against civilians.

    Would only restrict the side that still follow the laws and rules of war, without having any strong sanction against the other side.

    And the text is stupid too. Long range strikes on the factories that produce military equipment can be done with drones, and the people inside are technically civilians. So that’s prohibited now?
