American brands such as the Kentucky Fried Chicken and McDonalds are quite popular in Russia. So I really doubt how much successful this boycott will be in the major cities of Russia.
It opens new business opportunities for Russian companies: Stalingrad Fried Chicken
and gorbachev chicken chops. but yeah, russians boycotting coca cola isn't going to do shit.. and no one over here cares, except for coca cola. maybe they'll come up with their own red army soda. i wouldn't be surprised if putin on a horse were the logo
They already do. They make an abysmally bad knock off of a traditional Russian drink - Kvas - and sell it under that label!
so?
if it's that bad, the word gets out and people stop purchasing it..

What mental illness is our society suffering from?
it's retarted
this has the same relation with sexism as I do with Obama
This world cup will be a difficult one (in field and outside), Not sure if constructions and angry protesters would make go through smoothly. Brazil are the favorites IMO though.
it's futile to resist now, what's done is done..
enjoy the tourists and earn money on selling stuff to them + taxing it
Brazil might even brake even, perhaps not in taxes itself but in value earned by their people too

why should you buy stuff when you can produce it?
create a company, generate income
1 000 000$ is nothing..

Re: Is the West gearing up to invade Russia once again?
We are collecting donations to all three countries (Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina) and after collecting amount worth mentioning it will be evenly distributed among some official organizations in these countries.
I'v seen your thread, that's okay
I didn't know you and KlimBo_BG are working together?

Two Russian cargo planes carrying food, generators and rescue boats landed in Serbia on Sunday as part of a relief effort after the worst floods in over a century killed more than 20 people in the Balkan country and neighboring Bosni
that's what you get when you do something against the will of almost every western country

Only the winning keep the loot. Losing side have nothing.
the attack will cost more then the loot, modern warfare is too expensive especially if you have to transfer your army from the other side of the globe and you can't just simply steal everything you see
In the eyes of politicans, yes. Calm down and let me explain.
There is always a financial aspect to war in the eyes of the politicians/banksters. Sending an army over costs a lot of money, so they want to benefit in one way or another. The International Monetary Fund has approved a two-year $17.1 billion loan package for Ukraine, this is one way to get money back. Another way is resources (both Russia and US/EU are interested in the resources in the Ukraine). Do you think the US wants to involve in a war on the other side of the globe for free?
no they want, even if they had some use of it, they would think twice before entering
they don't want to enter a conflict with Russia, they know what the conflict could cause and they're most probably going to stick with political and economic sanctions military intervention?
they're not that brave, maybe just some financial help to Ukraine..
************************************* not related to the topic but this is politics&society so ************************************
on the border with Bosnia&Herzegovina the authorities stopped a Bosniak carrying 5 kilograms of dynamite (I assume he wanted to plant them on our embankments so they get rid of their water [which would flood us])
on the other side Serbian president stated that they used war actions, one of our embankments was breached and Gunja (picture and video up), Rajevo selo and others were flooded
in the same time Croatia is sending troops to risk their lives in Bosnia&Herzegovina and Serbia to help in the floods (altough we're flooded ourselves too )
