Why is the United States playing in the 2026 World Cup when it causes conflicts and Russia is not allowed to participate in anything?

Will the soccer world cup be played this month of June

The title of your post does deserve some attention, except this time around though.
The USA is a host; it's been decided a long time ago. The host always participates, even without preliminary qualification.

The victor gets to write the history. That's just how things are.

Nobody said the world had a fair system.

War is business

all about money in the end..
And yes its pure hypocrisy to ban Russia but nation's who spit on human rights also like China , Israel and US of ****ing America can participate.
The latter even gets to host it

At least Israel didnt qualify. ( guess the only thing they are good at is starving kids and annihilating cities ) --- one less war mongering nation in the world cup

Because the USA is going after dictatorships and Russia invaded the Ukraine haha what a dumb statement. Russia chose and can choose at anytime to leave Ukraine alone. America went after Maduro (a dictator drug dealer) and that loser in Iran because well for 40 plus years they have yelled “death to America” funded terrorists and tried to get a nuke…

The real question is why is Russia trying to invade Ukraine after they lost that fight decades ago? And the really funny question is how is Russia (supposedly a super power) taking this long to fight a war with a country a fraction of its size haha.. Russia is showing how weak they are.. they can’t even beat the ukrain.. while America walks into Venezuela takes the leader and the country without a war.. then they completely take out Iran on one night (the whole leadership team and more) without “starting a war” (you need to fights to fight a war and America has already finished those losers off) haha

In short Russia went and started a war Americas just finishing them.

guess the old saying what is good for the goose is good for the gander does not apply to the US
