China sanction America?? All these beer parlor analyst keep spewing trash.

BritishNaija:


What are you saying? If China sanction US?

MangekyoAlt:
What is Macdonalds doing in Russia?
To make more money through selling their useless products or to entertain russians?
If a food seller closes his shop, no be himself him dey do? You wey dey buy food from an before you go find other alternatives.
Macdonalds should be chased out self.
The Chinese will replace them with the speed of light
But russia doesn't really realize how lucky they are right now to have China. China is the only major power that hasn't criticized them openly. They still trade with them and are even looking to trade more.
If USA had meted these sanctions on Russia 15 years ago, Russia wouldve crumbled already. But by God's grace, they won't, with the help of China. USA and Britain claimed they will crumble Russian economy. Na them go shame last last.

I stand with Putin!

it will continue to pay its 62,000 Russian employees

pansophist:


You only have to go to China to know that its the number one economy and the true superpower. If you think the west is develop, then you haven't been to South East Asia, especially China and Japan. China is just miles ahead of US and if China sanctions you, you're finished. The west knows about it hence they want to bring the country down. It won't happen.

WHY TEMPORARILY?


RUSSIA SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE TO MAKE IT PERMANENT, WHILST THEY TAKE IT OVER AND KEEP THE BRAND NAME.



EVERYTHING IS ON GROUND, JUST REPLACE THE MANAGEMENT WITH RUSSIANS AND SEND THE AMERICANS HOME.



ANYBODY CAN MAKE BURGERS.


NONSENSE!

That’s impossible. The brand name, etc. is part of the intellectual property owned by McDonald’s Corp.

Comradewhy:

And how about the people that are used to MacDonald?
They are gonna switch overnight?

Or you expect 850 alternative restaurant that can beat MacDonald to come up In a day?

McDonald's has over 750 restaurants in Russia.
The company's total investments in Russia exceed $2.5 billion, while average annual growth of investments is around 14%.
And you think it won't be a blow to Russia.

MangekyoAlt:

They're in Russia to make money by selling products you little shit. If they choose to pack their products and return back to their country, its their business. Alternatives are there.

MangekyoAlt:

Did I say I didn't know the answer before asking the question?
My question meant.
What is MacDonald doing in Russia?
That shutting down will be a blow to Russia?
Apparently it would be them that is shooting themselves in the foot since they are the one shutting their services in a country. Others alternatives will push in their products instead which will without any doubt be accepted by russians since MacDonald is no longer available

Where will they see the much needed capital funding to embark on such businesses when their ruble is now worth less than a penny and their stock market has more or less ceased to exist?

Hunger in the land is loading from all fronts.

If you know any Nigerian in Russia try and reach out to them so they can read the scores to you in real time

Emmajn1:
US is not wise. Trump cannot make such silly economic mistakes. All these useless attitude of US owned company is simply what it means to shoot yourself in the foot. They are not looking at the big picture. Negotiation and persuading Ukraine to stand down and recognise those new cities as independent countries, should have been the best way to go.

Pls explain how the Ukraine situation is now the worst humanitarian crisis in Europe since WW2. Also, all d sins u outlined of Russia, which one is US/UK and NATO not guilty of or have done worse?

VERDA:


I will let you answer the first question about it being the worst crisis in europe urself, apperently the Europeans saying it don't have sense, anybody seeing what is going on need not ask that question....

As to ur second question about the UK/US and NATO, what I will say is, it's crazy how we always seem to justify a wrong by claiming the other party did it in the past too, Mr A killed 20 people yesterday so I can also kill people cos Mr A did it, and we wonder why the world is the way it is, crazily for some reason the people in Ukraine that are dying can keep dying, after all the US/UK have done it before...

Russia can keep doing what it is doing, it should also stop whining about the consequences and stop threatening everybody with nuclear war as if it will be insulated from it...

It is basically Russia against most of the world, it will be very naive of you to think China which is the only major power sitting on the sidelines for now will back Russia into taking the world backwards because it does not want Ukraine to join NATO.

Because most people that seem to support Russia keep saying stuff like China will step in, do this or that...forgetting that the US and EU are China's first and second biggest trading partners by volume respectively and that China with all its talk is actually a very smart country and will not plunge it's country into crisis to support a country whose contribution to it's economy is far far below the contribution of the other side.

U haven't answered d questions:

Go back and read again, if still you feel the answer to ur question is not there somewhere, then it's your problem.
