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."

I don't even understand how the hell burger King is alive to this day. There's 2 burger kings in my city, both on the same road and I've never seen anyone in line at either of them.

Like are we even sure burger King isint some psy op or something? Does anyone even remember the last time they were in one?
