A good idea to make the Paris Olympics a success do you think it will happen.

"French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to ensure there will be an 'Olympic truce' during the Summer Games to be held in Paris in July and August, in the face of ongoing international conflicts, in Gaza, Ukraine and in Sudan. He has also assured that the opening ceremony could be moved away from the Seine river in the case of a security threat.
“We will do everything to have an Olympic truce, we will work on it,” Macron said in an interview with BFM television on Monday, just over 100 days before the Games’ opening ceremony on 26 July.
The idea of a an Olympic truce dates back to ancient Greece, when warring rulers agreed to lay down arms - ékécheiria – during the games so that athletes and spectators could travel safely to and from the host country.
"The Games are also a time for diplomacy, for peace," said Macron."

Is he living on another planet, war is the ultimate result of a breakdown of diplomacy and political deal making. No country on the offensive and winning path will fall for a pause. This is such a non-starter amigo.

I can not remember one Olympic games in my adult life where some politics did not play into it, there always seems to be some country banned, limited or boycotts. So much for the games to be a non-political sporting event.

Pretty much all major sporting events have turned into political shit shows. Been that way for as far back as I can remember.
