...BS! They back Biden, wokeness, BLM, white guilt and all the rest. This never would’ve happened under Trumps watch.

China will just bottle Coke and Pepsi for Russia. No way those companies will abandon a market of 1.3 billion people.

More business for other, particularly Russian, soft drink companies. Yeah, that will really hurt them.

Ukraine has become a virtue-signaling extravaganza.

What I read in my minds eye.

Coca-Cola suspending business in Russia until COVID vaccination mandates are enacted.

More business for Baikal, the soft drink invented in the Soviet Union to be their counterpart to Coca-Cola. It tastes a lot more like Pepsi than Coke though.

what’s with these “suspensions” like they are temporary. What, until Putin’s genocide blows over?
