1 year agoNo, the one being petty and childish is the Russian who puts out a hand to a person which country is being occupied by theirs.
By competing under a Russian flag (or any flag for that matter) you represent a country and it’s ideas. The “petty and childish” stance is not being ashamed of what your country does to others, not the other way around.
Classic russian behavior, play the victim even though you are the aggressor.
