Yes do you not consider most western companies to be dicks? I am very happy that Russia managed to find other business partners in international trade and the US fascist war tactics of using sanctions fired back. Free market works equally, so unfortunate for US.
Yes. When we refuse to trade with assholes, we lose opportunities to profit off of said assholes.
Some capitalist assholes who don’t care if the people they’re profiting off are assholes don’t like being told not to do business with said other assholes, so ALL the assholes whine about it, but from my perspective the thing to remember is they’re all a bunch of assholes.
Phrasing it the way the headline does puts a very particular spin on things, don’t you think?
I’m sorry but if you refuse to trade with assholes the US will invade you shortly after. Or they will overthrow your goverment by funding extremists in your country. It is not just the loss of profits, if you refuse to trade with US corporations, ie the biggest assholes, you will get eradicated.
Let me also note something less extreme. The good people at Nestle use to run an ‘ad’ campain in African countries to make mothers belive that natural breastmilk is dangerous and if they want their babies to survive they have to buy their product. They were given free samples which lasted roughly the lenght until the mother stopped lactating. Of course then the honourable people at nestle stopped providing the formula milk for free. It became rather expensive for the child to survive actually. Ah Nestle.
What the article actually says is that western companies have little interest in exiting Russia. What’s happening is that Russia is choosing to seize their assets in retaliation to the west trying to steal Russian foreign assets. The phrasing of the headline is an accurate summary of what’s actually happening, which is that the west is seeing serious economic blow back from its economic war with Russia.
The article talks about western companies suffering from western sanctions.

Very much agree.

Obligatory reminder that a fruit company messed up entire nations or soda producer funded death squads.

I mean seizing assets has worked for Cuba and Venezuela, right? Right!?
You really can’t understand the difference between Russia and Cuba? 😂
A Commie is a Commie
Yup, that’s the level of argument I’ve come to expect from you.
Sorry, a dictator is a dictator, just a difference of scale.
Thanks for further highlighting your lack of understanding of the subject.
Russia is far from communism, with only Putin and a few oligarchs in power.
I mean, that sounds like textbook communism to me.
