Pressure mounts on KFC to shutter its 1,000 Russian restaurants as McDonald's Coca-Cola, Starbucks and Pepsi ALL halt business there indefinitely over Ukraine invasion

KFC faces mounting pressure to shutter its 1,000 Russian restaurants after McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Starbucks all halted business there indefinitely because of Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

The chain is the only significant US-owned fast food chain still operating in Russia, after its rivals announced plans to suspend business there indefinitely.

KFC is owned by Yum! Brands, a Louisville, Kentucky-headquartered operation which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and whose CEO David Gibbs has been with the company since 1989. Yum! also operates 50 Pizza Hut locations across Russia.

Pepsi, one of the first Western products that was allowed in the former Soviet Union, will no longer be sold in Russia, said PepsiCo, which will continue the sale of essential items such as baby formula.

Urban warfare fueled by the West will likely destroy Ukraine's cities - Responsible Statecraft

I guess it was the West’s fault too when the Russians leveled every major city in Syria. IMO, it has more to do with the incompetence of the Russian military and their total disregard for human life, their own soldiers included. Its pathetic.

If Chick-Fil-A shuts down... Russia will be forced to pull back. They may hand over Crimea.

So after banning oil imports what tools are left short of military intervention?

Bloodied, Bruised... but unbroken: Grit and courage of Ukrainian Soldiers and Civilians Wounded by Russian Artillery is captured in Moving Images of the war

The grit and courage of Ukraine's soldiers and civilians wounded by Russian artillery has been captured in hundreds of astonishing images since the war broke out.

Despite insisting otherwise, Russian forces have continued to strike civilian targets in Ukraine. Inevitably, the human cost of Vladimir Putin's war has continued to rise.

'You miss me yet': Trump claims he was giving 'anti-tank busters' to Ukraine while Obama was handing over blankets and suggests Biden Canceled Shipments of Weapons he had ready to order

Former President Trump claimed in a statement Tuesday that President Biden 'canceled' the military equipment he had 'packed, loaded, and ready to be shipped' to Ukraine.

Trump said that while he was giving 'anti-tank busters' to Ukraine, Presidents Obama and Biden gave 'blankets,' referring to humanitarian aid.

'The Fake News Media refuses to report that I was the one who very early and strongly gave the anti-tank busters (Javelins) to Ukraine, while Obama/Biden was giving blankets, to great and open complaints,' he said in a statement.

'Then Biden came in, and canceled the remaining military equipment that was packed, loaded, and ready to be shipped. Now the Fake News Media is trying to say that Trump gave Ukraine nothing and it was Biden who is their great friend and gave them weaponry. The dishonesty is so unbelievable. All I can do is report it!'

Did you read the article, or are you commenting on what you've guessed it must say based on how you've interpreted the laconic headline?

You really should have read the article before venturing to comment on it.

I did. Warfare is fueled by Putin.

Can you point to something in the article that suggests its author asserts otherwise? I see nothing in it intended to exonerate Putin or to blame the West for Putin's decision to invade.

Those words in the TITLE. All damage is due to Putin.

If you think that's what the headline means, you either haven't read the article or haven't come close to understanding it.

Just spitballing here. If we pass an oil embargo that raises the price of oil, does that hurt Russia whose whole economy depends on higher oil prices?

It’s not like they won’t be able to sell it elsewhere. So who does it really hurt? Our middle class is who.

Neither. The fire was started by Putin, the damage caused by any means to extinguish the fire is all on Putin. There is no scenario where any of this isn’t on him.

Horrible headline.

Mediocre article.

 

[lawgator1]

They are fake news. Just go by what Victoria Nuland said today. Is she a credible source? Because I know that is what you are trying to suggest.

I'm asking because I had never heard of them. Looked them up and it seems it has no past. No footprint. Yet here they are claiming to have information about super secret biological weapons sites in a war zone.

Call me skeptical.
