Russia's aggression in Ukraine is part of a broader, and more dangerous, confrontation with the West. Putin's Drug Warfare Regiment challenged the NATO athletes until a cold turkey strike devastated team Kremlin . Moving on a broad front the ICC hit their Paralympic units hard. Ukraine volunteer fascist wheel-chair pilots then climbed the ladder outperforming the US and the mighty Australian bridgeheads , pushing the British hard.
