Then give him his influence, and over time, he can do the right thing as he gets older. Influence is not with young people who are usually poor. IT is with older and richer people usually or those with military/political rank.

Young people have parents who wants there kids will play

Protesting a war publicly in the face of a dictatorship. That is the kind of thing a normal person only does when things are so bad for them they have nothing to live for. Not everyone has a death wish or a proclivity for violence. That is for the specialists/experts/mercenaries, not for everyday citizens.
Then they silently represent their country, which is waging a war, killing us, in which dictatorship and the immutability of power, which you all know very well, and are ready to look at it without taking any measures.

So according to your logic german players in 1940-1945 also could play?
If they were not allowed to play with the German flag and exhibited neutrality, yes. If they went around pushing for Nazi supremacy and saying their victories was evidence of superiority, of course not. For some reason, people think that once you use Nazi in an argument, logic must be suspended. So some Nazis loved dogs - do you think we should kill all dogs or lovers of dogs?

Okay. Then let him now, when he is already an influential person, publicly call for Peace and himself break all economic ties with the country that is waging a genocidal war, because his money is somehow sponsoring this war. Then there will be no questions for him.

This is how the real world works, I feel your pain, but it is not an argument against how the real world works. I am okay with your issues with Vlad playing, but I cannot in good conscience given my experiences hold him responsible for the actions of his government. That is just not how the world works as I understand it.

Some athletes who have no family in Russian/Belarus have. But for people with family and people without sufficient wealth, that is very risky. You can get family members killed. Again, this is not how the world works. It's not like table tennis players are millionaires.

The world is made up of people who shape it with their thoughts and actions. And what is normal or not as well.
I understand that this is difficult for you to understand, but would be interested to know if your opinion would change if you lived in our country now.

That's good one ;-)

Look, as much as I regret it, you've only shown inconsistent non-sense here, that was actually why @JackJohnson posted the image of M.J. when he read your non-sense. I can't help you, go further your way, it's good, just continue, as honest as possible...
Keep spreading lies and simping autocracies, you're doing it well :) "NATO vs Russia" is a comedy gold.
At least russian official speakers get paid for it, while you're available for use for free.

P.s. Just noticed you latched me to some other user's post that wasn't quoting me. That's despair and a half, a feel your pain buddy :D

Nobody say he is responsible but this is one of ways influence to russian goverment. But in general people responsible for goverment they have. If nobody voted for Putin we wouldnt get to this. If people in Germany didn't support Hitler we wouldn't get WW2

Jesus Christ, are you on the RT-drug? "NATO vs Russia" is straight outta kremlin brochure. In 2026 even they more or less admit that NATO avoids the conflict except meager financial support for Ukraine.
It's also nice you kindly avoided the REAL TROOPS support by North Korea for Russia plus the endless microelectronics backup by China.
So you are protesting China and North Korea playing in WTT, ITTF and Olympics as well?

according to this logic the World Cup
Should not even be held and all countries should boycott it.

Which country is still bombing and killing civilians non stop including little girls of one team who participated in this cup. It has been almost in war non stop since 1941 and responsible directly and indirectly for millions of people deaths

It is the principal instigator of many conflicts in the world including the one going on in Europe and Middle East.

My opinion is I prefer to see all Sidorenkos with a TT racket and not somewhere in a trench with a gun killing his Ukrainian cousins or brothers. I wish all soldiers were given a TT racket or a football instead of guns or knives

These are difficult questions and there is no correct answer, everyone answers to their God and their conscience. In the real world, people may vote for Hitler (and there are always people who did not) and then some of them may change their minds when they see things that they never anticipated happen. But leadership is a weird thing, and human beings are social animals. I speak/write as someone who tends to be contrarian, which is easier as I get older, but anyone who thinks that a government needs the support of people is just naive about the way the world works. The people that the government needs the support of are not every citizens like you are me, they are people, some who you often have never heard of who control the levers of power. The politicians are just their visible representatives, those with public wealth are often the few you can see, but there are some who you will never know or hear about until you enter a certain circle of influence.

Sportsmen are not military people or bankers, and these are not even soccer players or huge athletes, these are table tennis players. That is why I keep pointing to the fact that Sidorenko plays in France. Do you think he is doing this because he has serious choices?

Golden words, that would be fantastic! But the reality is that all the russian soldiers who are currently killing Ukrainian soldiers and Ukrainian civilians are doing so for the money they are paid under contract. They are an army of mercenaries. They were given money and they are ready to kill for money.

I simply cannot take people who want to punish Russia seriously when no one from either Israel or the US has faced any repercussions for what has transpired in the Middle East.

Are they attacked other countries and joined there territories? If China will attack Taiwan then yes
North Korea is sending troops/weapons to support Russia no? China is propping up the Russian economy and protecting it from the brunt of US and European sanctions. So you are holding them accountable too?
