How the IOC Ban Powers Putin’s Political Agenda

Magic Kingdom couldn’t get any more special than at the Christmastime when the entire park receives the most stunning holiday treatment of the season. For holiday revellers it’s a winter wonderland out there, complete with seasonal decors and delicacies, breath-taking shows, including parades, fireworks and much more. Premier Christmas event – The Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is one of the biggest draws of the hour.The International Olympic Committee’s decision to ban Russia from the upcoming winter games appears on the surface to be a damaging blow to Putin’s prestige. However with the upcoming Russian elections in March 2018, Putin can cleverly craft this ban into a campaign rallying cry to encourage a high voter turnout and overwhelming victory as a mandate to pursue his objectives into his second term.
