This your narrative doesn't apply in business. Russia can't remain the same again, in the next decade. When twitter was banned by buhari and that aboki apc apologist was busy marketing his local replica, how far did he go? Can the local replica of Mcdonalds in Russia
guarantee better working conditions as McDonald's did? What of the revenues and capital base? What of brand loyalty?

Your narrative is a replica of a local champ grin
Blocking Twitter in Nigeria was against the interest of 75% of Nigerians. that was why there was uproars and detest for the App of the same FG erand boy.

In Russia today, the majority are against the West and its hypocrisy. They fully support Vladimir Putin … So they will thrive Economically and Mentally as well as being healthier.

The brand name won’t be affected. Which Court McDonald’s wan take sue Russian people for impersonating? Lol

The West is loosing already

I get the point but the things this Uncle Vanya can only happen in Russia. they can't extend outside Russia ultimately. They will be sued for patent rights and Russia will lose. Investors wont be able to expand and thereby losing potential revenues. Eventually will drop the business and they back to square one. Mind you, McDonalds still owns the property o

The ignorance in this thread sha.

Russia represents just 3% of McDonalds profits. So this isn’t a significant blow to their bottom line.

Additionally, Russia hasn’t gone ahead to nationalize their assets. That’s just fake news. A Russian has applied for a new logo with that trademark, but the existing restaurants won’t open with that.

If Russia goes ahead to nationalize the assets, it’s likely that compensation will be given to McDonalds out of Russia’s frozen reserves.

So nothing spoil
You are even more ignorant with your last statement, please between the west and Russia who has more in the other’s territory? Do you know the collective value of the multinational cooperations that invested in Russian oil, gas and steel? Over 300 companies pulled out or suspended operations without pulling out their capital and fixed investments as there is an embargo on that. Do you know the collective value worth of over 300 foreign companies? We should be looking at over a trillion dollars. If they choose to swap seizures, the western loses would be colossal.

Russian actually needs the west to be a global player... China is what it is today because of it global outreach. Believe it or not the west control the global trade.
The Chinese are being careful not to be involve with the invasion of Ukraine, even though they in support, because they know that any sanction from the west would hurt it's robust economy

What PUTIN did is retaliation to the Larceny of the west. They taking over Russian businesses and properties in their domain and he is only returning the favour. I am in no support of the war, sanctions et al., buh trying to cow everyone into submission doesn't make sense. Instead of the west to broker peace and call Putin to order, they are busy providing Ukraine with weapons. Is this peace keeping?

I still prefer economic sanctions than military invasion. Hitler and stalin made similar mistake. West will try all forms of non-military confrontation before using military tactics.

Exactly what happened to my stupid aunty.

She packed from her marital home in anger because she suspected her husband was cheating with his secretary at work.

Two months later, her househelp was pregnant with twin boys for him.

Let me also add that neither my stupid aunty nor any of her female kids got anything from him in his will.

Moral of the story is, don't always strive to be politically correct, there are a millions who would do better queueing up to take the spot you give away.


It's amazing how people could confidently display their ignorance and naivety in public. grin

Russia is no stranger to sanctions and have you seen the protest in Europe due to high cost of livelihood. EU will suffer the most because most of the EU countries are too reliant on Russia

Even the mighty US is now buying oil from Russia and do I need to tell you Israel is supporting Russia.

Indeed, so why was Putin wailing that sanctions to Russia are now acts or war? Why is the South African Rand now more valuable than Russian ruble?

Why are Russians protesting severe hardship worse than the days of USSR? Why are Int'l students decrying the hardships they're going through in Russia now. grin

All the pseudo strength and self sufficient claims by Russia are just "for the gram", a show of resilience to cover up the Russian Gov't failures.

The economics terminology is NATIONALISATION no matter how we go about it.

I am not arguing about your use of the term, “Nationalisation”.

I am saying He doesn’t have much of a choice but to Nationalize, so it’s really nothing to be praising Him about.

The Russian Franchisees own up to 85% of the stakes in Russian Macdonald’s, they have more to lose if they don’t keep those shops running.

That's one way of looking at it.
Europe depends so much on Russian oil. It was cheap and consistent for years.
What's the guarantee, that will be the case going forward?

If you know what economists call foreign investment, balance of trade you won't be saying this. Just that you are either a mere graduate, an npower boy or an undergraduate. Anyway you are Nigerian. All the oppression in your country is not a problem but Russia and Ukraine because of your hatred for the west that you always hope to relocate to.
Ask an economist to tell you what Russia is facing right now.
U may be wrong, sometimes u don't listen to economists cos they can lead you to failure, examples are IMF to Nigeria, to Greece, which ended up in a mess, the international companies left, should dey keep the offices empty, do u know hw many jobs will be lost, they have to think wetin and use their initiative and keep the business going, it may not be like the Macdonald or any, but at least the economy is still going, it may be hard now but in the future, that company would ve gotten a lot of ground in Russia that their citizens wouldn't reason Macdonald again, don't just sit down and reason wat those folk that just love talking theory without practical solutions, the Russian govt is trying every possible means to keep those companies that left going becos majority of those companies employees are Russians, change the brand, just do wat u were doing, Macdonald audience were the Russian population, so nothing have change, the same audiences but different brand name and a cheaper price

This world no balance at all!!!

Those questioning the invasion of Ukraine had before invaded Syria, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan etc. Russia sent trucks of food relief to Ukrainians at the border, just to show that they are not at war with the people but no in support of the govt that want to embrace the westerners.

None is a saint and they are all friend of benefits.

HE SHOULD COPY FROM HIS FRIEND CHIZIPIN ABI NA WETIN BE THAT HIS NAME? AM TALKING OF CHINESE PRESIDENT THAT BAN ALL THE WESTERN SOCIAL MEDIAS LIKE FB, TWITTER, ETC, AND SOME WESTERN COMPANIES LIKE MACDONALD FROM OPERATING IN CHINA.

he should also as a matter of urgency encourage his tech citizens to develop their own social app like the Chinese did and ban facebook, twitter, insta, whatassp from ever operating withing the borders of Russia!

teach them a lesson they will never forget like the Chinese did.

while he is on it, he should beg his friend chizipin to borrow him the apple template with them so his Russian tech guys can develop their own Russian version of apple products and name them fruits.

LETS SEE WHO WILL LOSE LAST LAST!

It sounds good but on the other end, exportation is very important for any economy.

China may be enjoying their population advantage but a saturation period will soon come.

No country can isolate itself and prosper the way it ought to.

Lol. If I wanted to relocate to the West, I could do that in a jiffy.

I am under no illusion how the world works, unlike you Putin groupies. The west has done shitty things in the past, but at this moment, Putin is the one waging war, he’s the aggressor and he’s the one slaughtering innocent civilians. While you gullible people swallow all his outlandish pretexts as a way to justify your senseless support for a tyrant.

It's an unfortunate situation but Russia had no options left after all diplomatic channels failed, have you ever asked your self what is the essence of NATO? Have you asked your self why was Putin's request to join NATO was not accepted, you can Google that in the early 2000 he wanted to but they rejected because the purpose of NATO Would be automatically defeated, Americans have always seen Russia as a challenge in terms of power so they are doing everything within their power to humble them.
