Olympics are and have always been an excuse for war making

Look into the history of the Olympics for it is vast.

From ancient times to today, Olympics have always been used in times of war planning.

Yes, they happen on a schedule, but you can generally tell where war will end up by a controversial hosting such as has been seen with China.

What better way to get a bunch of nations (or empirical territories in the past) to share secrets about one another and to plan with allies?

All over the display of an enamoring and distracting game.
