No.

Should debate be an Olympic sport?

Would that be good for free speech?

 

[Desk trauma]

Would that be good for free speech?

It would have no effect.

 

[Arcangl86]

Would that be good for free speech?

Because the IOC is so well known as a champion of free speech rights.

 

[Hans Blaster]

Would that be good for free speech?

Russia doesn't promote free speech, so why is this relevant?

 

[Love365]

Debate can help you understand other countries points of view and concerns.

Debate can also expose isolated countries to new ideas.

So why hasn't it helped you understand that Europe and Ukraine don't want Russia?

Russia is 77 percent European by population.
They live on the European side of Russia.

They have a different alphabet.
But they are European.

Why the European Union won’t let Russia join?

The Cold War has been 100 years of racist propaganda.

Supercharged by Hollywood movies full of Russian characters as spies or criminals.

Did the New York Times or CNN,
ever float the idea?

 

[Arcangl86]

Did the New York Times or CNN,
ever float the idea?

Why would they? Membership in the EU is not something most Americans really care about.

Did the New York Times or CNN,
ever float the idea?

Odd, I wasn’t aware that those two news organizations floating the idea was a prerequisite for applying to join the EU. Bit strange to make two US based organizations the gate keepers.

News stations aren't typically into political planning... Their main function is to report what's happening.

 

[Hans Blaster]

Why the European Union won’t let Russia join?

You've been told, repeatedly.

The Cold War has been 100 years of racist propaganda.

Oh, it's "racist propaganda" now, is it. Are Russians a race, now?

(And the cold war lasted about 50 years, not 100.)

Supercharged by Hollywood movies full of Russian characters as spies or criminals.

What ever.
