I'm quite serious about this proposal: leave them there. Let them get rammed by Brazil's system, corrupt or not. The Olympics are just a large, slick, glitzy handful of candy that the internationalists who worship the fading world order use as an example to demonize so called "isolationists" like me. I don't see how the Olympics warrant our tax dollars covering the costs of getting American athletes out of trouble, etc. The Olympic Opening Ceremony year after year becomes more of a propaganda show than the other.
On another note, I do approve of the fact that Team USA is not covered by the taxpayers. I wasn't aware of that until tonight. Now is the time to tighten the purse string even more and send a message that it truly isn't a pressing concern.
Are you unaware of how consular protection works and that American citizens are entitled to it?
I am plenty aware. I'd just like to see some bureaucratic entanglement and delay tactics used. You can make a point with a whisper rather than a scream. Which is exactly the same logic that the Syrian air force used today when their jets came very close to US special forces today.
So State Department officials should
deliberately not do their jobs (or at the very least, not do them well) because "internationalists?" (((internationalists)))
