France, Germany and Austria all threaten to stay away from the South Korean 2018 Winter Olympics over security fears sparked by Kim Jong-un

Austria, Germany and France have threatened to stay away from the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea amid security fears over the nuclear-armed North.

Winter Olympics powerhouse Austria also revealed it could stay away from the Pyeongchang Games next February if security concerns deepened.

France's Sports Minister Laura Flessel said yesterday: 'If this gets worse and we do not have our security assured, then our French team will stay here.'

The absence of Austria and other leading winter sports powers would be a hammer blow to the Pyeongchang Games.

Austria alone took home 17 medals from the previous Winter Olympics Sochi Games in 2014 and has been the dominant force in alpine skiing and ski jumping.

A more muted response came from Germany, another winter sports heavyweight that tops the all-time Olympic medal table in biathlon, luge and bobsleigh.

The Olympics, which run from February 9 to 25, will take place in Pyeongchang, just 50 miles from the heavily-fortified frontier with North Korea.

Then we'd better get on with the decapitation of NK now, shouldn't we.

Who is their ultimatum to?

Idiots.
