News Forum - Thai police admit extorting money from Taiwanese actress
LOL and just how many in the USA get their hands slapped. Now there is conjecture on the exact amount contributed but one way or another those connected to the Uranium One deal contributed millions. Whether the donations played any role in the approval of the uranium deal is unknown. But the episode underscores the special ethical challenges presented by the Clinton Foundation, headed by a former president who relied heavily on foreign cash to accumulate $250 million in assets even as his wife helped steer American foreign policy as secretary of state, presiding over decisions with the potential to benefit the foundation’s donors. Still, the ultimate authority to approve or reject the Russian acquisition rested with the cabinet officials on the foreign investment committee, including Mrs. Clinton — whose husband was collecting millions in donations from people associated with Uranium One. With help from Bill Clinton's connections, Canadian mining tycoon Frank Giustra in 2005 was able to secure a key uranium mining deal in Kazakhstan for his company UrAsia Energy. Months later, according to a New York Times report, Giustra donated more than $30 million to Clinton's foundation — donations that remained secret for years. Uranium One obtained UrAsia Energy in 2007. https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/truth-clinton-uranium-deal-article-1.3597553 https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us/cash-flowed-to-clinton-foundation-as-russians-pressed-for-control-of-uranium-company.html -

News Forum - Olympic Games on the brink as 40 nations threaten to pull out
This is the key point @Soidogand it’s a win win for Putin: If they’re allowed to compete, it demonstrates that aggression doesn’t matter; if they’re excluded, it neatly feeds into the siege mentality. -

Which is one big difference. They got caught with their fingers in the till and ended up paying for it, whereas in Thailand, and most of Asia, there are few, if any consequences to getting caught out because it is regarded as a perfectly normal way of doing business. -

It doesn’t matter if as individuals they support or don’t support Putin. Banning Russian and Belarusian athletes sends the message that the world will not allow life to carry on as normal until change happens. Of course this move will hardly register with Putin and he will spin it as western aggression. This all about symbolism and showing the world your support against dictators like Putin. If you advocate allowing them to compete, where do you draw the line? Are we to simply carry on and allow Russians to behave as though nothing bad was happening by their government in Ukraine? It’s the same reason why Russian Passport holders should not be allowed out of Russia and certainly not to relax and have fun on Thai beaches.- 3
