“In his hyperventilated desperation to punish Russia for not sending NSA leaker Edward Snowden back to face life in the American gulag system (another irony) he wants to go back to 1979 and boycott the Soviet Olympics! Out of any ammunition or even logic, Graham is all bluster: ‘At the end of the day, if they grant this guy asylum, it’s a breach of the rule of law as we know it and is a slap in the face to the United States.’ How dare Russia not follow our laws! What a slap in our face! More ironies drip from the Graham Plan, however, as the original US boycott was meant to embarrass the Soviet Union for its 1979 invasion of Afghanistan.”
