The best part of the whole debacle is standard of Nationality that is beaten in to Russians' heads, go check out some Russian peoples' comments on news sites and youtube etc. and they're all defending Sochi and saying the rest of the world is just mad because there aren't enough gay people in Russia

I hope like the whole park floods with thousands of wild dogs and some kind of running relay breaks out. They'll call it a new sport in Russia.

Anybody know where the $51 billion dollars came from? Is it all sponsorship money? I am having trouble believing that any major financial institution would be stupid enough to give out a loan to such a corrupt regime.

Russian criminal organizations get a lot of money through cybercrimes like e.g. the Target hack a while back and they double-launder it firs through Team Fortress 2 (I'm serious) and then through the Russian Government who spends it as quickly as possible and then pays their benefactors back at a severely reduced rate

The IOC does provide some help, there's also the standard corporate sponsorship tpoo but it's pretty much up to the host country to pay for the whole thing. It's basically a big money losing venture as shown by the Montreal Olympics.

The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionising the instruments of wild dog defense, and thereby the relations of tarp procurement, and with them the whole relations of society. Conservation of the old modes of production in unaltered form, was, on the contrary, the first condition of existence for all earlier industrial classes. Constant revolutionising of production, replacement of all vertical and horizontal surfaces with tarps, increasingly ingenious strategies for escaping the wild dogs, uninterrupted disturbance of all toilets, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away by wild dogs, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of his tarp, and his relations with wild dogs.
