Nestlé don't really do shame.
There is no question that the Russian people are being subjected to a vile propaganda campaign. Certainly this will continue, and escalate. They will be told that THEY and the RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT, are being treated appallingly
BUT
It may be wishful thinking that they 'rise up' against Putin. But its entirely wishful thinking (on the part of Putin) to 'ASSUME' they will fall in line with the Kremlin's position. At best for the Kremlin, half and half. At worst, his regime begins to wobble more and more
Good to see Omni Consumer Products supplied one of their units there too.
Savages
Who do you think is in a position to change Russian leadership?
If these are franchises, and that's how it works in Ireland at least, there might be no actual change on the ground based on this move. Unfortunately.
There's nothing more destructive that having Belfast in-laws.
They had that for decades and the Soviet Union stood. IMHO what broke the Soviet Union was Chernobyl, or it was a huge part of it. The response and cleanup bankrupted them and they had to bring in outside help and both opened the tap to the rest of the world. Add in Gorby in charge and it was only going one way.
If they don’t control swathes of land and don’t control the skies, their supply lines are sitting ducks for the Ukrainians. I reckon the Russians know this and hence are being cautious by not moving forward for fear of getting slaughtered.
16,000 international soldiers added to Frey, call a little a bullshit and say it’s 10,000 that’s a whole new division.
This thing as it stands is not going putins way
Absolutely.
The media needs to publicly shame them which is beginning to happen as I heard it mentioned on LBC earlier.
Good for you. And no foreign country should be obligated to facilitate that life choice.
Coming from him it seems hollow though. Think he's one of the Brexit Intellectuals afair if not an oxymoron, a mastermind of the project to detatch UK from "Europe" + an anti EU zealot.
I doubt any of the EU countries on Ukraine border that are at sharp end of dealing with this will give much of a f--k now whether UK takes any refugees, so its all about their own internal politics, or a kind of "virtue signalling" they are doing here (I think a correct use of that nasty term).
They can send weapons to supply to Ukraine though while war continues, that was good and welcome + useful, and assume they will continue that.
Young men can't be refugees? Who do you think they want as canon fodder for the front lines in Syria? As much as I'd like to think I'd have the courage to fight, most likely I'd clear out and try to survive.
With how often the machines are broken Russia would have burned a long time ago :P
Will we get to live to see the day that Nestle are finally on the right side of history? 😂
It will certainly effect the average Russian. We could hope, it will prompt said Russians to ask; Why is this happening, if all we are doing is fighting NAZIs?
Hopefully, but it could also 'prove' to them that they are in the right and they are fighting nazis and a west in the form of capitalist western corporations who clearly hate them. That'll be the spin that's for sure and many will buy it too. There is very fertile Russian ground for those seeds of doubt.
The headless chicken approach to logistics and command & control can't be helping. Into that mix throw conscripts who were demotivated (probably before they even left Russia), being tactically outclassed by a more battle-hardened and highly-motivated opponent who is receiving modern western weapons and regular inputs of satellite and radar intelligence and probably signals intercepts...and it all adds up.
day 13 of the Big Russia attack on Houses in Ukraine, how many more days can Ukraine last? I reckon one more year
Probably going to the units counter-attacking the Russians at Kharkov
Keep in mind Russians don't really control swathes of land, rather they hold key routes/roads
As did Ukraine until pretty recently. A line of them. Ukraine was Russia Lite with the same oligarch asset stripping, the same fascists being supported by government, openly and tacitly, the same levels of corruption and overwatch on her citizens. The Maidan revolution sought change and got it to a large degree, but there were still elements of the old world still in play before the Russians crossed their border. Ukraine deserves and needs our full support as it tries to continue moving forward away from that crap and away from the old worldinto the new, but it had some travelling to do. This war should speed that up rapidly. One of the few good things to come out of it. I hope anyway.
Always the case. It will certainly effect the average Russian. We could hope, it will prompt said Russians to ask; Why is this happening, if all we are doing is fighting NAZIs?
I sympathize with the position of the ordinary Russian joe - but in all honesty they could be considered Economic Collateral Damage.
The Citizens of the Ukraine are entitled to the Lions Share in all considerations
Again the Russians have lied with promises of safe passage.
Imagine if a lack of access to the McFlurry was the straw the broke the camel's back for the people of Russia.
Russia declared this to be a red-line. They have said this decades ago and continually re-iterated it.
What gives them the right to dictate this?
Nope, just gonna effect ordinary russians.
HERE HERE!
Russia's Toxicity increases day by day - hour by hour. This conflict is Black and white
Companies are VOLUNTARILY CUTTING THEMSELVES OFF FROM RUSSIA - Astoundingly positive development
Hope so. Keep in mind McD's has around 840 outlets over there, not a simple move, but hopefully they pull out
Not being smart but how are these weapons arriving in cities where the Ukrainian forces are next to surrounded?
Now, could Coca Cola, McDonald's, Nestlé also get the fcuk out please.
EXCELLENT - about time - but we should spare recriminations until after the crisis - this is a POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT
Russia's Toxicity increases hour by hour
