Oh darn and here I thought I had snuck onto all the politic threads already. Also, how is Australia part of Europe at all?

They fall under the British crown. If ever the Brexit happens, Australia will stop being Europe

Not since the Australia Act of 1986. Since then, Britain cannot legislate with regard to us and vice versa; and the Queen may not make any decision (other than indirectly via our Governor-General).

Also, Paxie: uh, we're here because we're a European cultured nation with a very sizable European immigrant population, as well as uh, I dunno, we really like Eurovision.

get your regular dose of revolution vaccination or you might just catch a Europe infection

current infection rates are at 25.6% and have increased over the last few years, despite the best efforts of Spain, Britain, and Turkey

ignore Russia's vaccine, though. we have enough cases of Russian zombie virus already

  I'll just leave this here http://forgetcatalonia.eu

The fuck..?

[ChairmanPoo]

Its satire, for the record. Catalonian TV is protesting EU's tacit support of Rajoy's repression

[scriver]

Oh, I really hoped that was the case.

The International Olympics Committee is still somewhat miffed about the Russian government's attempts to cheat.

Entertainingly, Russians in 2018 will not be allowed to compete under the Russian flag.

Hopefully we don't see them under this one instead.

Since there's no way in hell Russia would admit anything that labels it as guilty while Putin and his people remain in office, it effectively means Russia's participation in the Olympic Games is officially over.
Rip in piss, Russian Olympic team (1994-2017).

The idea of boycotting the 2018 games should any Russian athlete be barred from participating was already floating in the Russian media, though. Also, due to current anti-Western sentiment, anyone who would dare compete under the Olympic flag should better apply for political asylum afterwards - their participation would be considered high treason by many in their homeland.

Now we just need the controversy to spread to the World Cup and bring about the apocalypse for every country except the US and the Netherlands.

SPORT APOCALYPSE

In the future, no nations shall compete in the Olympics. Every Athlete will compete under the Olympic flag. Every year the Olympics will be hosted on the island of Bermuda in the middle of the Atlantic, which will be purchased by the IOC and renamed Olympialand.

[Strongpoint]

Now Russia needs to react in its style... hmmm.... I know! They should ban all damned westerners from competing Football World Cup!

[Helgoland]

I'd be really down with just making it an Athens thing again, like it was originally.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

You just want to see the athletes compete naked, don't you?

[Helgoland]

Maybe...
