BBC: McDonald's to cease trading in Russia

Excellent.

BBC: McDonald's to cease trading in Russia

Firstly I don’t disagree with this at all.

But is there a danger that this starts to play into Putins hands?

Perhaps films like "Threads" and "The War Game" should be shown on TV.

Partially maybe, but it's another reason for ordinary Russians to try and find out the real reason why.

That the sanctions keep escalating to a point he can't take? Yes.

Concur, but what are the chances of that happening given the media shut down.

Those that want to will find a way. The twitter thread from Navalny posted earlier today in this thread is encouraging in that regard.

I hope that the two posters who are both pro Russian despite the idiotic denials and both have stupid names are noted by all other posters.

Just as a reminder, both " Dibdab" and " Heres Wally " both signed up to this forum in September 2021.

I do hope posters continue to "bump" this post just in case other decent posters hadn't noticed.

It's funny, I actually re-signed up in 2021. I previously left NSC and abandoned my previous account because of how toxic this place was.

It's actually worse now, so great news, I won't be posting anything further on this thread or any other. There comes a point at which expressing dissenting opinions becomes impossible, not because they are banned exactly, but you will be bullied and attacked and called a "scumbag". Silence isn't forced, it's self imposed. Ironically, kind of like how it works in Russia.

Pretty soon you are going to find that things have "improved", as everyone seems to agree with everyone else on here. But it won't because everyone does. It will be because nobody dares to say anything else.

If this is true this ratchets things up a notch...

I am glad we are sticking with not establishing a no-fly zone. I have wondered lately if some of the younger posters on here truly comprehend the effects of a nuclear war.

100% this. We must praise the PM on this, and I mean that genuinely. I know that he is fundamentally a coward but that’s exactly what we need at this point.

I thought that Thatcher would have smashed Covid-19 with her decisive leadership unlike the current PM but if this Ukrainian situation had happened in her later PM years, she may well have decided to stick up for the Ukraine as she had clear principles (unlike the current PM) and could possibly have taken us into a Nuclear holocaust.

I doubt Johnson is being allowed to make any military decisions in this war. The rest I agree with though.

What a revolutionary you are.

Don’t let the door hit you in the vagina on the way out.

The two posters constantly posting Putin propaganda are a disgrace, and should have an immediate ban. Wouldn't surprise me if it was Mustafa, joining dates seem to overlap with his massive hissy fit. Even the absolute tin foil nut Swansman has reined it in on this thread, he seems to know his place.

There is no place for this pro Putin propaganda, at all. Anyone peddling it or defending it, is some kind of sick person.

Knew it. Piss off to Russia if you love it so much.

I'm not religious but I pray to god you're right!

It pleases me to note that you have left before, due to this apparently "toxic " forum and clearly you have been called a scumbag before....possibly many times.


I have refrained from calling you a "scumbag" in these difficult times whilst your comrades are killing litlle innocent children, but I have definitely THOUGHT that you are a scumbag. But I will still do my best to refrain from actually calling you a scumbag.

Is there any chance you could take your twin " Dibdab" with you back to Russia ..?

Get in.... its Kyiv convoy time
