    ensure that weightlifting continues to be a platform of inclusion, respect and solidarity

    I’m sorry, but there should be no respect or solidarity for someone that kills other people. And don’t sell me the bullshit that a citizen is not the same thing as their government. That’s irresponsible. When we Italians got fed up of Mussolini we revolted, fought and killed him. If your government goes too far it’s your responsibility as a citizen to stop it (via democracy or via rebellion if there is no other way)

        It’s more complex than that. Chronologically it’s true that he died after having already military lost most of Africa and Italy itself, but the part of the military had already rebelled in 1943 and Italians faithful to the king started organizing. The fact that he had lost part of the military could have surely influenced the subsequent losses. Anyway the citizens started working to undermine his power and position since early 1943.

      Including Russia is exactly the opposite of “inclusion, respect and solidarity”.
