With a price tag of 36 billion euros ($48 billion), the Sochi games
stand to be the costliest in Olympic history.
If the real goal of this
sporting event had been to develop a neglected region and celebrate the
spirit of friendship between peoples, then this resource debacle might
have been justifiable.
But instead, this year’s event appears to be
geared toward putting President Vladimir Putin front and center on the
international stage. A diversionary Olympics. What better way to play
down the former-KGB agent’s oppressive domestic policies and his
diplomatic role in aiding Syria perpetrate crimes against humanity?
