FIDE Women’s Grand Prix Collapses into "Chaos" as Players Withdraw

I’m so glad it’s the end of the matter for you.
Yes it’s not America doing the killing
It is the USD.
Why does the USA have military bases in Europe in the first place?
Why did they need one closer to Russia? (Germany is not that far)

And yes sad that a chess chat is about war. Kind of ironic

Truth be told, no amount of woman resigning from a chess tournament will change much for the people in the country that’s bombed.
This seems to be something about past events that’s causing the drama, withdrawing and causing drama is the new norm. Magnus did it, now this. Upcoming WCC ding Nepo withdraws because board colour was not dark brown
It's stupid to ban a country or a country flag based on your political opinion towards them. If this is how it is going to be, there are lots of people who hold a grudge against the USA and the western countries for discrimination towards middle east. Would you like it if you Americans or westerns were to get banned due to your government action?

Well, it is not Russia who kills thousands of innocents civilian during Hiroshima and Nagasaki but America!
Not Russia who kills millions of people in Iraq but America!
Not Russia who colonized middle east in the name of peace and stole resources but America!

If you want to play this game of pointing fingers towards others then I give you this.
End of matter.
Lichess never should have opened this for comments. How did you not see this circus coming?
Curios to know why they have flags at all? This isn't the Olympiad. The country they come from shouldn't matter at all.
I am not commenting about this-I will just get a bunch of likes and dislikes, and this is too heated a subject.
"If I speak, (looking at many) I am in big trouble." Guys, take your politics to twitter please-although this is the kind of article that when I started to comment I started to write my opinion-which is just as bad an idea as for everyone else.
