Restaurant Brands International owns Burger King, Tim Hortons, Popeye's Chicken, and Firehouse Subs
Fuck RBI, they are lying war profiteers putting tax revenue in the hand of the Kremlin which it uses to fund it's war of genocide in Ukraine. Do not eat in any of their restaurants
I thought burger king staying was the punishment
Capital Scum doing capitalist scum shit.
They outrage is such a great example of western exceptionalism. The existence of western consumer businesses in the countries of the non-Aryan jungle is supposed to be an immense benefit to these places and their departure must necessarily be disastrous for them. Nowhere is the idea entertained that Russians are perfectly capable of creating their own shitty burger restaurants to replace those if the west.
It's like that 80s news footage of the first McDonald's opening in Moscow where they're like 
”finally those filthy commies get to enjoy our superior Western treats”
Then they interview someone who says it wasn't really worth it to stand in line and pay so much 
You're missing the point. For BK to operate in Russia means dollars flowing into Russia, because BK needs to buy Rubles. Dollars that Russia needs to buy arms on the international market, because nobody is accepting Rubles.
Imperialism: good
Slavery: good (when in prison or countries that I can't find on a map)
Burger King in Russia: moral outrage
Libs rock
There has been a lot of debate on this. Is it cruel and unusaul punishments. Have the russiand done things so bad to deserve burger king. only time will tell.
Lmao westerners having a totally normal one over the lack of loyalty of a slop-house to the divinely-ordained imperial cause.
They didn't change their name like McDonald's? No principles smh
Who the fuck cares who is still open in Russia. Theres plenty of companiess still open in Israel where's the outrage over that?
Continuing to bring the most meh fries in the fast food industry to the fair people of Povarovo
when mcdonalds pulled out they just didn't close the mcdonalds. The buildings and people who work in the mcdonalds were already in Russia there is literally no reason they can't just stay open
Every hexbear comment reads like AI trained only on the Tumblr accounts of 14 year old boys with Stalin body pillows.
Don't like it, don't go there. Tell them why.
Personally I'm boycotting them. Not because of any moral justification, but because they sell overpriced disappointing mulch.
Explaining the ineffectiveness of sanctions to an American:
ok so imagine you have McDonald’s but you also have Burger King and McDonald’s pulls out but the Russians can just make their own McDonald’s and they can still buy Burger King…
Sanctions are when you ask your mom for McDonald's and she says "we got food at the house". But the burger at home is actually not bad
I think (?) I watered it down even more for the average American to understand.
AFAIK, the situation with Burger King, is that unlike McDonalds, BK doesn't have much leverage over Russian franchisee's. They can try and say "close the stores, we're leaving", but the actual store owners would just say "no" and re-brand them back to "Rostik's". They don't really have any assets in Russia so there's nothing really to sell either, but they do still receive the franchise fees. So pulling out would only benefit Russia
That's one way to defeat Russia. Have them eat garbage food.
Burger King will never see a single cent from me, fucking traitors
where did you shop while the united states was occupying iraq and afghanistan?
Around these parts, we salute the McDonald's flag flying over Guantanamo Bay.
o7
relax they sell burgers not cruise missiles
also new tagline
I simply don't get this mentality. I'm sure you do realize, that companies such as Microsoft still operate in Russia. You think all people over there are running Linux? Aside from how unbelievably stupid your take is, guess they are traitors too. But you'll still keep using their OS and Office suite for millenia to come.
MS stopped selling licenses last year and blocked the ones operating this year (non renewal). But I get your point, only not all the big companies stayed
You're assuming Russians pay for MS licenses 
(Note: I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just that piracy is rampant in Russia)
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Russia did have larger linux adoption. It's not unheard of for countries to be (in my opinion baselessly) suspicious that microsoft contains american spyware.
