For their own safety:
Don't want to fly in their airspace, not safe anymore.
Don't want to eat the food, no more regulation.
Don't want to be surrounded by unvaccinated mouthbreathers.
So. Many. Reasons.
It's definitely not safe to fly in American airspace. I have family business to take care of in the UK, and if I didn't have to stop off in New Jersey, I'd drive up to Vancouver and fly via Canada.
I understand the sentiment that countries should boycott the LA Olympics. But at the same time, I feel sorry for LA, which leans blue, but also because of the devastating fires and the tremendous amount of $$ needed to put on the Olympics.
