So if I’m ever a tourist in Russia and have a hankering for a McDonald’s burger, I’ll head to Uncle Vanya’s.
Fascinatingly stupid reasoning, by the corporations and the Powers That Be.
Sanctions boomerang far worse than ever expected.
Russia couldn’t have economically hurt us worse than we did to ourselves.
On top of that, Russia gets higher prices on the same oil and gas than they got before the sanctions.
Biden: don’t buy Russian oil or gas
China, India, any other country not aligned with the US, NATO, Australia: Nah, we’ll but what we want from who we want.
Anyone who made the decision to listen to Biden or listens to Biden or any of his advisors is a bigger moron than CornPop himself. And they deserve anything negative for they brought it on themselves.
Putin’s meat grinder is causing hundreds of thousands of Russians to flee Russia. That can’t be good for business.
TFIGlobal is an Indian propaganda site known for its lack of credibility. TFI stands for The Frustrated Indian. Businesses in the freer countries are not wanting to fund Russia’s burning, raping and pillaging expeditions. ;D
The Russians knew this was a possibility and prepared for it over many years. They had a a plan in place for how to deal with our form of economic warfare since what and how we do is a well known playbook.
That said, the damage we’re causing is not as great as we’d wish and likewise the pain we will suffer is far greater than we imagined. It’s questionable who is going to get hurt more (long term), the Germans or the Russians. Wait until winter, and wait until November when opec starts cutting production by 2 million barrels a day (something Russia pushed for)...
We made a gross miscalculation. The Russians are not some miniscule terd we can poke and push around at will.
That’s a stupid lie. The only thing the Russian military is grinding is hohos.
any company that stays in Russia
will face opposition at several levels
Hundreds of thousands of Russians fleeing Russia for their lives disagree with you.
All the companies that fled Russia are doing fine
this article is merely more Russian propaganda, designed to stop the sanctions ... which obviously must be working, if Russia is so desperate to stop them!
(gonna be a bleak winter in Russia)
Not as bleak as Germany
Seeing Germans snap frozen kind of brings back the old days when hundreds of thousands of them froze trying to kick in the door in Russia
and now Russia is “trying to kick in the front door” in Ukraine ... and they’re having the same amount of luck
LOL
Business C-suites and boardrooms have been thoroughly infected by the Woke virus. And, on top of that, the State Department, an important source to international business for understanding the world political landscape, spreads the Woke disease like monkeypox at a gay bathhouse.
It is astonishing that business leaders don't understand that whenever politics invades an organization, that organization becomes disoriented and eventually ruined.
All this is a testament to the fact that business has placed more value on so-called political connections than wisdom. This is what happens when businesses decide to play the crony capitalism game.
Crony capitalism was the bone and sinew of the Third Reich. Field Marshal Herman Goering owned the iron and steel industry. All of the Reich's buddies got a nice slice of the pie.
Early days. French and English were at it for 100yrs.
And Obama introduced it to the U.S.
--- "Crony capitalism was the bone and sinew of the Third Reich."
Mussolini defined Italian fascism as the combination of corporate and state power. The term, crony capitalism, seems to have come about to sully the notion of basic capitalism in order to confuse terms, and thereby confuse a citizenry.
The National Socialists were what Hitler and Goebbels called "Aryan socialists" to distinguish them from the Marxist socialists, and so the various versions of "state" power -- some with greater control or involvement in corporations -- have defined these. The Soviet Socialists and the Sino-Socialists or Chinese Communists have all be termed "crony capitalists."
Today's Democrat-led West and Europe's EU Commission are essentially working hard towards this "crony" end, which is not capitalism with its competition between competitors, but state power further controlling corporations.
All the complaints from the pro-this side and pro-that side refuse the notion that the Ukraine-Russia conflict is actually a civilizational and cultural event are basically cheering for one version or another of Mussolini's construct above. Given twenty two years of military adventurism and consistently lost wars on the part of the so-called "Pax America," the "state" and some corporation have gained in power and control, but this has meant that in the West -- the EU and the US -- we have behaved according to the terms of Mussolini's idea. And the other "crony capitalists," all war profiteering for the few and to the detriment of the many. Today's American involvement in Ukraine seems far less about "freedom" than that growing combination of state and corporate power, with all the profiteering thereto.
And for this, the US has passed into over $31 trillion in federal debt and the EU is essentially bankrupting at a fast pace. Make sense? Only if you are among the profiteers.
... as a canuck, how’s that totalitarian thing working out up north? Stick your head back in the sand, it’s going to be a fine winter in Russia while the Germans burn every tree in the country to not freeze to death, boy that will go great with their faux watermelon agenda (green on the outside, red on the inside)... ymmv
