Sochi Terror Threat

[peacetraveler22]

I don't know how Russians feel about the Olympics, but American television is already showing a lot of ads and promos for the event. In general, the Olympics are a big deal here. Most people enjoy them and are glued to their televisions watching the events and coverage for almost three weeks. However, this past week U.S. media has been on a mission to instill fear about possible terror threats in and around Sochi. It started at the end of December with the Volgograd bombings, but this week panic reached epic proportions with the release of a new video from Islamic terrorists and the identification of potential "black widow" bombers. Of course, it's normal to discuss terror threats before any Olympic Games but Sochi and Russia are receiving a lot more attention than other Olympic hosts, at least in the American press.

What do you think? Can Russian security forces handle the threats posed by these extremists at the Olympics? If possible, would you attend the Sochi Games?

I'm indifferent to the Olympics, so I will not go.
And for some reason, Russian security forces have often react after something happens.

But you're athletic. How can you not like the Olympics? :) You have faith in Russian security forces? I know they deal with these threats from the Caucasus all the time.

I no longer associate Olympics with the sport. This is politics, not a sport.
I can not say anything about the security forces, but I hope they will show the utmost vigilance.

You're right, in many ways it's about politics and money but for the athletes who train their whole lives to make the Olympic team it means something more.

Of course, because it is already part of their lives. I do not know, would I wish someone wins or not - I do not like competitions, they divide nations.
