Biden is owned by Ukraine so he may send troops there to start WWIII. The President is a fink. |

Closing their restaurants cost MCD $50 million in monthly revenues. Now, they are leaving Russia altogether. "The burger chain will sell its Russia business, saying the "humanitarian crisis caused by the war in Ukraine, and the precipitating unpredictable operating environment, have led McDonald's to conclude that continued ownership of the business in Russia is no longer tenable, nor is it consistent with McDonald's values." "McDonald's had 847 restaurants in Russia at the close of last year, according to an investor document. Together with another 108 in Ukraine, they accounted for 9% of the company's revenue in 2021." |

Russia's no tiny island country. Nothing mysterious about how difficult it is to constrain them. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Breaching that giant dam would likely be worse than whatever number of missiles they could hit Bejing with. Short of nuking the island right off, no guarantee China could safeguard against it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/china-warns-of-taiwan-demise-after-official-claims-missiles-can-hit-beijing/ar-AAYuk0K?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=aa1b06ecb02647458dece2c8773be2b9 You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans?

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 96 Posts: 3103 | Gee, I have to think that Putin calculated that protracted war will hurt the west's economy, and it has; now we have to deal with our own problems and will over time lose interest in helping Ukraine and leave it for the Russian bear to devour. |

I have no reason to believe Putin calculated that, but it is what I expect to happen now. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

He didn’t have to predict economic issues. We have short attention spans and recently left a long period of war. The appetite for staying the course is not high. The economic situation is icing on the cake for him. |
