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.
Yeah, they should only operate in good countries, like the US.
And Israel
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 
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
Pretty sure the Russian war effort isn't exactly dependent on burger king. But I'm no expert.
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.
Who the fuck cares who is still open in Russia. Theres plenty of companiess still open in Israel where's the outrage over that?
Putin isn't chowing down on BK, neither are the oligarchs, or the heads of the army, the FSB, or so on.
What's the point of making sure BK leaves the market except and ineffectual attempt to hurt ordinary Russians?
Honestly, BK should just leave. Russians or as a matter of fact no one deserves to eat that "food".
I remember when the sanctions started and Western fast food, media, and social media were all pulling out. Someome quipped "oh no, Russians will be the healthiest and happiest people on the planet. How awful."
Mfw when no pizza hut 
They didn't change their name like McDonald's? No principles smh
Capitalists gonna capitalise!
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
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.
Every hexbear comment reads like AI trained only on the Tumblr accounts of 14 year old boys with Stalin body pillows.
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…
