Russia and Radical Islamic scumbags are determined to wreck the Olympics in Paris.
In a coordinated attack, France's high-speed national rail network suffered "malicious acts" just hours before the grand opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics. Arson attacks targeted signals along the tracks, causing disruptions and cancellations across several routes. The situation is expected to last throughout the weekend while repairs are conducted¹².
Key Points:
Sabotage Details:Signals were set on fire, and cables were cut and ignited, paralysing the TGV network.
Impact: The attacks triggered mass cancellations, affecting 7,500 athletes, 300,000 spectators, and VIPs attending the opening ceremony.
Foreign Involvement: Amid warnings that foreign countries (notably Russia) might seek to disrupt the Games, this sabotage raises concerns.
Stay tuned for further updates as authorities investigate this unprecedented incident. The Paris Olympics will proceed, but the disruption caused by these acts remains a significant challenge for organizers and travellers alike.

The UK and Canada have the diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, citing concerns over China’s human rights record.
The US, UK and Australia will “pay the price for their mistaken acts” after deciding not to send government delegations to the Winter Olympics, China’s foreign ministry has said.
“The United States, Britain and Australia have used the Olympics platform for political manipulation”
said Wang Wenbin, a spokesperson at the Chinese foreign ministry. Reuters reports.
China is not worried about a “domino effect” of diplomatic boycotts of the Winter Olympics.
“Most countries in the world have expressed support for the Beijing
Winter Olympics,” foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told a daily

US diplomats are to boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. The White House said no official U.S. delegation would be sent to the Games because of concerns about China’s human rights record, and “ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang.” U.S. athletes however have the government’s full support to attend the Games. BBC News reports.
China has threatened President Biden’s administration with retaliation over the diplomatic boycott and has warned that the move could harm bilateral relations.
“The wrong move of the U.S. has undermined the foundation and atmosphere for China-U.S. sports exchanges and Olympic cooperation. It has shot itself in the foot. The U.S. should understand the grave consequences of its move,”
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian told a news conference. Zhao also said that China had made “solemn representation” to the U.S. and vowed to take “resolute countermeasures.” Nectar Gan reports for CNN.
