announced they would stop selling video games and consoles in the country"for the foreseeable future."on Thursday that it was halting all its business in Russia after making the decision last week to just pause the release of films there.

Putin, in a meeting Thursday with his economic advisers, acknowledged the"unfriendly steps" taken toward Russia, particularly thethat President Joe Biden announced Tuesday. But Putin vowed to soldier on and said Russians would adapt to the new"circumstances." How Russians react to the exit of big Western companies like Starbucks and PepsiCo depends both on demographics and on how they get their news, the experts said.

ArthurCaplan Finally! Thanks God. We don’t need american rubbish here. We have better way better quality food🤣😘

Psychic? What? Them leaving is giving Russians paranormal powers? We are screwed. 🤦🏻‍♂️

They healthier now?

SPECIAL OPS: Ruble is falling & Russia is losing=20,000 Russians dead, injured or POW. Russians arrested for peace & not war! Putin & his oligarchs must go now! Change in Kremlin coming soon. RUSSIAN REVOLUTION STARTS! More dead Russian soldiers coming!

Good.

No. They will lose money because Russia won't take them back. I've never seen gas this expensive in my state either. Seems the average US citizen is going to suffer, especially when bread will be $5.00 a loaf.

Who knows what Putin is telling the people about it, whatever it is it will be more lies and propaganda.

Shut them off completely. Everyone needs to follow. Their stock market has been closed Sense the end of that's month. They know they're screwed.

🤡

If you stop Putin we will give a Big Mac……Extra fries will be added for credit…..innocent people are dying and they are going psyched over a driven burger😡

Live updates

Good

Don’t we WANT their soldiers to be fat and with heart disease? 🤔

Heartbroken that so many Russians will not get their Big Mac! What a tragedy.

Doubt it. Any of the few tech companies they actually miss will be back soon enough. Also, this is literally Japanese in internment camps by proxy

Hey Russia ...

I hate to say it, and sound callous, but unfortunately part of the point is to cause some harm to the Russian people.. if Putin won't listen to reason, when his people see the damage to themselves and for no REAL reason, they'll revolt THEMSELVES.. hopefully!

PutinisaChildKiller

Your 'expert' knows nothing about Russia

That is what happens when you place a Tyrant in charge of the country and you let him do what he wants, without any consequences.

No more Big Macs. Courtesy of McPutin

Almost like an exorcism I bet....

Tell that to Ukraine

I am glad that this garbage food is leaving Russia. They should go back to bortsch and sauerkraut.

Now imagine the psychic toll having your town demolished by missiles has. But yeah, break out the violin for all the big macs going to soviet heaven.

These Russians be russophobic af.

not being able to order a big mac 'taking a toll' or having to bury loved ones and witnessing hospitals being bombed 'taking a toll'

It’s disgraceful that McDonald’s is considered iconic Americana. Some countries have art. Music. Architecture. Progressive values. America has……..fast food. Typical.

Good. It should be a real message to them

Please... buy me a whaaaaaburger.. Russia allowed putin to stay in power.. want your mcshamrock shake... get a new leader

Yes punishing Russia poor people 🧐. Typical liberal BS!!

Putin can hide the war debacle but he cant hide that can he. Come on corporate world turn russia into death valley.

The war on Ukraine is having a psychological impact. Russians need to rise up

The people here making fun of the McDonald's exodus seemingly are unaware of the symbolic nature of how big of a deal it is for McDonald's to leave.

The depression is the withdrawals from fast food chemicals in the food. It will go away after a week of detoxification, afterwards one will fine better than before. Don't worry Russia, seeing fast foods close is like shutting down a Crack house, it's good for society!

Where is the proof Back your story up with FACTS please

Good

Nobody gives a f*ck about the psychological impact on Russia. The world is concerned about the psychological impact on UKRAINE!

A psychic impact? We got wizards?

Russians never deserved Western luxuries in the first place. Russian support of the war against Ukraine is a clear example. Have fun with your Russian burgers and pizza. 🤮

Right, less diabetes and cholesterol.

McDonald's is Poisoning Americans

.. because the POTUS & US GOV wants to give their BIG $$$ DONOR$ a FAT FINANCIAL WINDFALL, with this war, at the EXPENSE OF THE US PEOPLE! POTUS had to do something, now that Omicron destroyed the 'vaccine' PROFIT$

McDonald's most leave not just Rusia.... THE ENTIRE WORLD

'Russia watchers' are u ppl for real? 🤦‍♀️

Good, that’s exactly what it was designed to do. Russia has Putin to thank for the mass exodus of int’l businesses and foreign divestment.

Not fast enough or hard enough. Half the Russians still think Putin is protecting them from Ukraine! We need to get messages into them maybe ham radio? USA Patriot Truth Russian PutinWarCrimes

It's time to get used to other healthy foods

McDonalds leaving is supposed to be a bad thing? If only.

🤣A ‘psychic’ toll 🤔? Perhaps a psychological toll is the phrase you are struggling to find. (Google ‘psychic’ if it helps).

This is so sad

The United States has always rejected the multilateral verification mechanism in the United Nations' Biological Weapons Convention. What the United States accuses other countries of doing, the United States must be doing (or has already done), US will the WHO investigate?

The heads are spinning. They can't believe how things can change overnight.

shut off their Twitter and Facebook too, then again maybe not, this is the only way Russian people can get a worlds eye view instead of what Putin wants them to know

All Western Companies Must Cut Russia Off!!

Putinsachildkiller

Psychic? Not so sure about that…😂

Putin won't let the people know what he's doing but they will know every business leaving Russia means he's done something awful.

“profound psychological impact” Indeed! It’s better getting back to eating real food and quitting fast food like McDonald’s.

Yes but they will be so much better without the USA!

No, it isn't. We're having a laugh here. You know shit about us. That's your big problem. ДБ

L'exode des entreprises occidentales emblématiques de Russie permettra aux citoyens russes qui ne regardent que les médias pro-Poutine de remarquer l'anomalie dans laquelle les médias ne peuvent pas s'expliquer et qui pourrait les amener à comprendre ce qui se passe dans le monde

So you expect the Russians not to back their government after cornering them to a wall. I like the thinking of the Western governments 🤣. All these bluster will end when the war is over and the negotiations begin. it's just a matter of time. My opinion

Putin needs his tendies

Bravo! Thanks!

Good, Russian people need to stand up to Putin before he turns them into North Korea!

A positive psychological effect. Anyone who eats that fascist Yankee crap is a traitor to humanity and the planet
