Red Bull?? And that shameful destruction of the Ukraine square (just before the invasion) for a publicity stunt - with NO Authorizations granted. Caused huge damage - to promote a stunt. That combined with this video - and I'm not even following their F1 Team anymore. Shame on all of them!

As usual - brilliant insights Jake. I followed Konstantin for a while - I stopped following - it's the same thing over and over. Konstantin was able to emigrate to the US when in his teens and went to University here. He had an excellent career in Hotel Management and had two opportunities to become a partner and stay in the US. A third, even better offer brought him back to Russia in the time when they all made great money and life was fabulous (in Moscow and St. Petersburg)... Then life changed on February 24th. But it didn't change as much for them - as it did for those living peacefully in Ukraine. My heart bleeds for their increases in cost (sic) but I note that not only are these US brands still available - - the STOCK in this store, in almost every product from groceries to personal care items, meats and cheeses, is in excellent shape. Full shelves!! I had an email exchange with Konstantin, his career was based around Siemen's gas turbines and they and Rolls Royce and General Electric have pulled out of Russia - no product support - no parts available. I asked him about a company I had a career of dealings with - Caterpillar. Another US (and Canadian manufacturing plants too) giant. Konstantin did not answer specifically about their branches but it seems like the sale of gear is so important that 'the show must go on'. Disgusting. I share your shame and pain. 'Weak excuses' indeed Sir. Thank you for calling out these greedy politically-correct, US-owned corporations that do one thing as they appear to be doing another. Perhaps they will lose plants and machines and even recipes and labels. Did anyone prevent them from making $$ Bn over the years as they developed those foreign markets? Good for you for calling them all out Jake. Shame on them all. How do we do more to make it better known?? "Economic isolation doesn't work - - if you can still buy Pringles and Lays potato chips!!" (Jake Broe June 2022) Brilliant Sir!! I don't tweet but that should be either a hash tag - or a bumper sticker!!
