Support From Big Companies
28 Answers
I read this morning that Coca Cola and MacDonalds are continuing to trade with Russia and have not joined other big companies in ceasing trading.
Do you think that this should be made known to the public and also should we stop buying their products because of their behaviour?

Many newspapers are carrying the story from the Independent to the Sun so I think most people will have now been made aware. I'm not on it but I'd be surprised if TwitFace is not awash with it too.
We live in a free country so if they want to trade like this then fine. But of course it works both ways so if you feel you dont like their business ethics then dont purchase from them.
I wont be.

you're right, naomi, most chains are just franchise operations but it seems McDonalds actually own most of their outlets there. However, I don't know that there's much they can do if someone at HQ tells them to close and they refuse. They'll get their meat and bread locally and can just carry on producing and selling.
The more companies that refuse to trade with Russia, or in Russia does no doubt help. But at the moment Putin only see's this being a hardship on his population that he doesn't care about just now.
Putin got to were he is today by being ruthless to anyone who gets in his way, either by threatening them or killing them.
In my experience bullies like Putin use other people to do their dirty work, and to put their life on the line not his.
Bullies are very brave when their own life is not in danger but become very concerned on reverse.
Putin is getting away with what he's always got away with, mainly threats. If you fold over again and again because of these threats there is no hope, and only one outcome, he wins again.
We are at this time watching people getting murdered, we cannot do this no matter what the threats. We should go in now and call Putin's, what I believe to be the biggest bluff in History.
I also think that he told China that he would be threatening nukes. China would not be sitting back so comfy if they knew Putin's threat was for real.
China are very interested in how Nato react to such a threat.

Thank you for all your interesting replies and thoughts. Yes, I agree and think that Putin is a bully and will only be stopped from his aggression when Russians are prepared to stop him. We in the west are being toothless. If not stopped now I think he will continue and then invade the Baltic states and Finland. Do any of you agree?
