Sanctions are another one of President Trump’s bargaining chips...

He’s ready to either tighten or ease sanctions depending on Russia’s willingness to negotiate regarding the war in Ukraine.

Russia wants McDonald’s back.

Would they settle for McDowell’s?

“Russia wants McDonald’s back”

LOL.

Getting close to washing our hands of the whole thing.

They still have a company operating former McDonald’s locations.

Probably better food.

I just remember the articles about all of the angst in Russia as McDonald’s was pulling out and the long lines as Russians went to get that final Big Mac fix (or whatever they had there) before they all closed. 😄

That's exactly what we need to do.

This nation can greatly benefit by trade with the Russians.

[Kazan]

Sanctions, at least partially, are going to be lifted because that will pave the way for beneficial trade with the Russians.

Wouldn’t a person naturally assume that they would be on the negotiating table?

The spamming azzhole strikes again.

Go away to DU as this is all you ever post.
