As President Donald Trump and his administration have ratcheted up pressure on Ukraine to stop striking Russian refineries, citing harm to American consumers, they have remained silent on recent Russian strikes on US businesses in Ukraine. Russia has escalated its attacks on facilities tied to American corporations – and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine writ large – over the past several months. According to Andy Hunder, the President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine, Russian missiles and drones have damaged facilities belonging to some of America’s most notable brands, including Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, McDonalds and Oreo. Although Russia has tried to deter successful American business in the past, it’s “nothing we’ve seen like over the last months,” Hunder told CNN. “This is a direct hit with drones and missiles, and they keep hitting them. It’s sending a message that they’re targeting American business. We’re not seeing any response from the White House,” he said.

” Is THAT where we are right now… ?”
There isn’t much in the way of options. I think Trump underestimated the IRGC’s willingness to burn their entire country to the ground rather than make a reasonable deal. I don’t think there’s an appetite for more conflict.
What American Businesses?
America funding Russia’s enemy makes them a target. Cut off funding to Ukraine and solve the problem.
You really expect Trump to do a anything but kiss Putin’s ass? Where have you been the last 11 years?
CNN/USA-France -BS and Ukie trash.
My guess would be the basement of the Hoover Building.
“Cut off funding to Ukraine…”
>>>>>>>>
As you know, America is not funding Ukraine.
It’s been like this since Trump became president.
Do you think it’s ok for Russia to bomb American interests and businesses around the world?
Despite very much being pro-Ukraine and anti-Putin, things get blown up in wars so I’m not going to pitch a fit over this.
Don’t get me wrong - the kleptocratic Putin regime is trying to subjugate an independent nation that obviously does not wish to be subjugated. I’ll be on the side of any nation that gets invaded by a larger nation that doesn’t want to be oppressed by said larger nation.
But, this doesn’t change much. War zones carry great risk. And I believe in free markets - and building/maintaining plants, factories, offices in warzones inevitably carries the risk they might get blown up.
A private company gets bombed inside a war zone ? Wow
A private company gets bombed inside a war zone ? Wow
“America funding Russia’s enemy makes them a target. Cut off funding to Ukraine and solve the problem.”
>>>>>>>>>>>
And communist China and NeoSoviet Russia are funding IRAN and giving IRAN attack coordinates to successfully hit US bases in the region of the Gulf.
Americans have died recently remember?
Conveniently you brush all that IMPORTANT information under the rug…
Insane.
Oh my God! The Russkis hit an Oreo factory! This means war!
You do not even need to read the whole article it is right there in the excerpt.
(((PING!)))
To be added to the zeeper follies pinglist,
ping me bro... we need laughter!
———— If you weren’t pinged to this, please pm me. I’ll fix that!
“A private company gets bombed inside a war zone ?“
>>>>>>>>>
I have to remind you that blind carpet-bombings 1940-style doesn’t exist anymore. In those days it would have been bad luck for a US company in Europe to be hit in the midst of a larger war.
In Ukraine the situation is the opposite.
Russia is choosing its targets with great care and planning. Every target is specifically chosen with 100% intention and precision using satellite technology.
Thus, Russia willingly picked those US businesses.
If you are American, your sense of patriotism is close to zero.
You don’t even criticize the fact that US businesses are being directly and consciously aimed at by the Kremlin Neo Soviets.
Thus,
The question I’d ask, are these “American businesses” part and parcel of the Deep State Swamp? If so, Go Putin! If so, Trump would have no complaints... Russia doing the work the DOW would do.
If stupid enough to have a business there don’t whine when things go south. Like people that go on vacation to other countries and complain they were arrested or treated badly. Simple, don’t go.
You support American businesses to be bombed ?
So anti-American of you.
I hear there is a war going on. Wars are not neat and precise. Things get broken, people get hurt or worse. Wars are a good thing to avoid. Americans in a war zone can get hurt and lose property like anyone else.
