The nazis hosted the olympics, no imperialist war has ever stopped the olympics from letting someone compete. Even in the worst possible interpretation of Russia's actions in Ukraine, barring them from the Olympics for it would be an entirely new precedent.
The last several Olympics haven't they competed under a different flag because all the cheating they keep getting caught for? Sure, everyone knows they're Russian, but it wasn't the Russian flag or anthem. They competed as the Russian Olympic Committee.
All true. None of it related to human rights abuses or wars, which the IOC has typically not cared much about.
Russia is a fascist state. You are a fascist for supporting it.

Ukraine is a fascist state. You are a fascist for supporting it.
It feels weird to be the one to break this to you, but the nazis are widely considered to be fascists too. Some would say they were even a lil bit worse than Russia on the goosestepping front.
