I'd say that's a win for Russia

So they got bullied into doing it, leaving many Russian citizens without jobs? That's cool. Thanks globohomo.

Mcdonalds is very popular in Russia. They have like 800 restaurants.

Can't wait for the Russian parallel society. Bad culinary news, good news for western dissidents.

>>17530112
>McDonalds announces that it will temporarily be closing its Russian locations due to supply chain issues
>"""journalists""": IT'S LITERALLY FUCKING OVER FOR RUSSIA!

Embargoes and sanctions make it difficult to keep businesses operating consistently. Japanese automakers have also temporarily ceased their assembly plants in Russia because governments are making it difficult and expensive to ensure that the product actually end up at the factory. The companies are still maintaining all their holdings in Russia, but it's less of a loss for them to shut them down instead of running them at sub-optimal capacity.

And yet people will completely ignore what the companies are saying and assume this is some "take that" by their HR departments.

Well, yeah. One of the primary arguments for globalization was that it prevents global war because every nation's self-interest becomes intertwined. So, yeah, act outside that purview and get fucked economically. And, yes, we also suffer some economic grief from the blowback. No, Iraq and Afghanistan aren't equivalent because both those states were already acting in opposition to that system. Not saying either of those wars were defensible, just saying they're not relevant to this.

>>17530126
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I NEED TO CONSOOOOOOOOOOOOM YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE DURING A TIME OF WAR THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE BECUASE...BECAUSE YOU JUST ARENT OK?!???!?

>>17530169
I wonder how many McDonalds are still open in the Ukraine.

>>17530138
That's... not very many for an entire country.

>>17530190
>B-B-B-BUT WHAT ABOUT UKRAINE????????
just admit you have no argument and you're just assblasted that western companies are dabbing on your gay country, ivan.

>>17530196
Did you throw out your sense of humour last week?

>>17530190
They all shut down the day of the invasion because there's a fucking war

>>17530202

>>17530151
>we also suffer sole economic grief
>gas prices rising quickly
>at a time I can barely afford my commutes
I'm not sure what I've done to deserve this suffering.

>>17530200
just drink yourself to death like the rest of your country please. it'd be for the better

>>17530211
Man, I really hope you get that sense of humour back. It must be eating you up inside to be this irrationally angry all the time at random people on the internet. I wish you all the best.

>>17530222
lol shut the hell up

>>17530222
i'm having a great time watching the world laugh at your joke military and monkey leader. you're the one losing your mind over not being able to get your daily big mac anymore.

Take a deep breath, mate. Inhale... Exhale...

>>17530138
Australia has 970. We have about 1/6th the population of Russia.

>>17530112
This just means some enterprising Russians will convert those abandoned restaurants into their own burger franchises. They should do a blatant rip off like the one in Coming to America to stick it to McDonald's.

>>17530255
ESLs trying to insult you is so cute sometime. they're trying so hard, but they can't get it

>>17530210
Lived too far from your place of employment. Let your employer know and they can subsidise it if you're important enough. Bear in mind that if it's a shitty job with no education requirements in an expensive area nobody local will take the job, and you're already trained which is a sunk cost from their perspective.

>>17530148
Stop being smart.

>>17530318
Isn't that the goal in the end?

>>17530112
Good, hopefully Lotteria expands to Russia to make up the deficit

>>17530126
Will someone please think of the poor Russian citizens who have supported a psychotic dictator for decades who is now threatening to blow up the planet.

>>17530352
To be fair, Russian citizens who don't support him tend to end up dead or in jail.

>>17530360

>>17530112
Who cares, politics is all a farce. You're living in the ten toes of iron and clay.

So the chance of a global war is increasing because corporate bigboys get a bit less money this year? OK cool.

>pepsi leaving Russia
Friendly reminder that Pepsi was the first western brand the USSR allowed to be sold in Warsaw Pact countries. Pepsi are tacitly admitting they believe Putin is worse than the Soviet Union

Good posts. OP and MSM being shitty as usual. What you should be more worried about is the catastrophic effect of sanctions and inflation on food and fuel prices at home.

Of course the globohomo will cave to the libs. They always do because they have no balls and are willing to let a vocal minority get in the way of their own self interests that didn't even hav anything to do with helping the Russian state. All those NPC Twitter users with Ukraine avatars are making a real difference, they're the ones who will end this war.

>>17530352
>An autocrat that has been in power for decades means that 100% of people are in full support of him
Yeah, I mean like, they should just overthrow the government, man. If they don't want to be ruled by him, they should just march to the Kremlin and do an inssurection. YEAAAAH, BURN IT ALL DOWN MAAAAAN.

>>17531020
The only meds I take are prescribed by Dr. Pepper.

what about the people that paid to own those mcdonalds and starbucks franchises, and handed over the majority of their profits in fees?

>>17531191
No refunds

>>17530352

based and doctorpepperpilled

>>17531176
But anon I was told "insurrections" are bad.

>>17531230
It's bad when we don't do it. ;)

>>17530112
They're really trying to push the us and them agenda

>>17530196
why do you think calling someone ivan annoys them. it just makes you sound autistic and gay.

>>17530151
>One of the primary arguments for globalization was that it prevents global war because every nation's self-interest becomes intertwined.

And yet no-one dares do the same thing to China with is active genocide program.

>>17530119
Yeah definitely. How do we get those shit companies to leave the USA?

What are the Rooskies supposed to eat and drink between all the heroin and vodka now?

>>17530119
Nice.
