Awful John, that's totalitarian Governments for you. I haven't seen anything as shocking as that since Walter Wolfgang heckled Jack Straw at the 2005 Labour conference.
Someone is trying to start a war in the Ukraine, It's NOT Russia (edit: yes it is)

Wasn't Russia the first country to put a man into space.
And Laika the dog.
Laika - Wikipedia
Laika ( c. 1954 – 3 November 1957) was a Soviet space dog who became one of the first animals in space, and the first animal to orbit the Earth. Laika, a stray mongrel from the streets of Moscow, was selected to be the occupant of the Soviet spacecraft Sputnik 2 that was launched into low orbit on 3 November 1957. No capacity for her recovery and survival was planned, and she died of overheating or asphyxiation shortly before she was to be remotely euthanized via poison.

On 3 November, 1957, Laika became the first animal launched into Earth orbit, paving the way for human spaceflight during the upcoming years. This photograph shows her in a flight harness.
Other name(s) Kudryavka ("Curly")
Species Canis familiaris
Breed Mongrel, possibly part-husky (or part-Samoyed) and part-terrier
Sex Female
Born Laika (Лайка)
c. 1954
Moscow, Soviet Union
Died November 3, 1957 (aged 2–3)
Sputnik 2, in Low Earth orbit
Years active 1957
Known for First animal to orbit the Earth
Owner Soviet space program
Weight 5 kg (11 lb)
Little was known about the impact of spaceflight on living creatures at the time of Laika's mission, and the technology to de-orbit had not yet been developed, so Laika's survival was never expected. Some scientists believed humans would be unable to survive the launch or the conditions of outer space, so engineers viewed flights by animals as a necessary precursor to human missions.[1] The experiment aimed to prove that a living passenger could survive being launched into orbit and endure a micro-g environment, paving the way for human spaceflight and providing scientists with some of the first data on how living organisms react to spaceflight environments.
Laika died within hours from overheating, possibly caused by a failure of the central R-7 sustainer to separate from the payload. The true cause and time of her death were not made public until 2002; instead, it was widely reported that she died when her oxygen ran out on day six or, as the Soviet government initially claimed, she was euthanised prior to oxygen depletion.

The term Jewish can be an ethnic term as well as a religious term.So on the basis that Khazars converted to Judaism makes them Jewish, then most Spaniards, French, Filipinos, South Americans, etc are Roman, because they converted to Roman Catholicism.
This is why Israel was subjecting would be immigrants from post Soviet Russia to DNA tests.

I had already mentioned that the UK and USA had boycotted it as far as leaders are concerned. The joke was wondering about if they fancied the cold.

On 11 April 2008, Russian officials unveiled a monument to Laika. A small monument in her honour was built near the military research facility in Moscow that prepared Laika's flight to space. It portrayed a dog standing on top of a rocket. She also appears on the Monument to the Conquerors of Space in Moscow.

Very sad, why didn't the Russians send up a Paedophile or some other criminal if they wanted to test the safety of their rockets.And Laika the dog.

What is bigoted about my post?
I was merely pointing out the cooperation can produce better results than confrontation
Other than knowing they put a dog into space, I'd never really read about it before just now, I think I always assumed the dog survived.
Picked up as a young stray on the streets of Moscow she must have thought it was Christmas being taken in and fed well, only to to blasted into space for 6 days to die gasping for breath as the oxygen ran out. I can't even begin to ******g imagine the terror that animal went through.
I thought I would give you some ammunition. it was put over as an unfortunate honour aspect. They guy was there to report on athletics etc not politics. TBH if arranged for good Dutch TV I think it should just not have happened. We get loads of news about what goes in in China so there is no need for this sort of thing. Communism has some unfortunate features as it is introduced. Not that some aspects of it are actually as they used to be, once it is established.
Boycott - that means no one goes there.
And 'diplomatic boycott' means the athletes go, but no members of government or dignitaries.

Mars 3, the first spacecraft to land on Mars.
Two days after the United States announced its intention to launch an artificial satellite, on July 31, 1955, the Soviet Union announced its intention to do the same. Sputnik 1 was launched on October 4, 1957, beating the United States and stunning people all over the world.[31]

People will start thinking I am a Russia lover. No, I find the place interesting. That doesn't condone what goes on. It would appear that they had a lead in the who could nuke who most effectively race. Even an earlier deliverable H bomb.

Even an earlier deliverable H bomb. blimey you seen the shut lines on lada cars in the 80's they were that bad you could get in the car without opening the door if you have confidence in the Russian tech
they are looking for volunteers to test the new Sputnik vaccine
An extremely stupid view bought on by misinformation.
