That realy or not

This is really unfortunate. I hope things calm down soon so that these businesses can resume operations.

It has little do to nothing that all these Western businesses are pulling out of Russia because of the incursion. They couldn't care less. Fact is, that these businesses are pulling out because there is no money to be made when the ruble is 0.00725 against the USD.

No one sanctioned US/Britain for illegal war in Iraq. Yet these companies are part of Biden’s campaign to destroy Russian people who contributed so much to the world. Will never buy their products, again. Apple IKEACanada McDonalds Nike MilanWeek McDonaldsCanada adidas

They need to cut off employees too. The point is to create hardship and starve them out.

Has anyone else noticed how much the hate has dropped since the Russians got clipped from Twitter?

Screw the employees. They lose their jobs, they start getting desperate and angry. And maybe grow big enough balls to stand up to a 70 year old man who has clearly lost his damn mind.

Cuba knows the this feeling. 👌

Coke will find a way. What will be the Russian version of Fanta?

And you don’t go back until Russia is all the way out of Ukraine, including Donbas.

Amazon next? Hey JeffBezos the threat of nuclear warfare by Putin will pollute the entire globe. Please use your money and power right now to keep our planet safe from nuclear fallout.

They have had to be shamed into it

That is good news! All junk food companies should be banned! It is better to drink some vodka than Coca-Cola. 😋

That's a double edged sword. It's good of employers to support their employees but if Russian citizens don't feel the squeeze personally from Putin's folly, they will have no incentive to do something about his poor leadership.

US companies with Cdn presence are still heavily involved in Russia, Cargill has 2500 employees there, Cummins 700 and Caterpillar 5000 in their 180 locations. Bad on them. stopbusinessinrussia

Too little, too late! How bout you close down in the West, and offer all you can eat for free to the Russian soldiers!

I wonder if this is why Spotify is down today? 🤫

CANCEL EVERYTHING IN RUSSIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cost to consumer of products likely skyrocketed drying up the Russian business anyway. More of a business decision than leadership.

lookner cbc reports that pepsi has already left?

Give me my brother so that he can see Putin's phone number, how do I break embargoes, come to my brother duel_network, let both himself and the people be comfortable, what should these people eat and drink?
