I thought i read that they weren't going to be "begging" to get into NATO, but with all the information and translations I could be wrong.
Great. Now the Russians will live longer....McDonald's has finally acted. Interesting they likely announced this right as Putin was making his big isolation announcement.

McDonald's, Starbucks, Coke and Pepsi all halt sales in Russia
McDonald's, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola and Starbucks stopped sales of their best-known products in Russia on Tuesday, offering a united rebuke of the war on Ukraine by companies that define America for much of the world.
Potentially no McDonald's in Russia ever again. Now THAT'S aggressive geopolitics!

But, let's say they win the war vs Putin and kick them out of the country and then go to NATO and say "Hey guy's we just kicked Putin's butt, think we'd make a good addition to NATO?" and then they get invited to join.
So…isn’t this what Cuba did decade’s ago?Hmm..
Russia proposes nationalising foreign-owned factories that shut operations
A senior member of Russia's ruling party has proposed nationalising foreign-owned factories that shut down operations in the country over what the Kremlin calls a special military operation in Ukraine.
I thought the supply lines from Russia to the east are much more limited than to the west.
Since there are economic sanctions, doesn't that also mean countries that operate in Russia can't repatriate any profits to US ?
Wow...just wo. Is that for real? Because that will have huge impacts in my industry.Jesus Christ, Putin is stupid!
I guess Putin really does want Russia to be like North Korea with their ~$750 per-capita GDP…
Alabama is gonna have a bigger economy than Russia in 2030.
No don't do the later. That's a lesson from Iraq and more importantly WWI. Penalize upfront, take foreign exchange, gold, etc. Don't have long drawn out sanctions as they develop into abuse, avoidance, and are used by the reclairant govts as excuses and as a point of blame.
Could that be the final blow to take down Putin? No more Happy Meals?McDonald's has finally acted. Interesting they likely announced this right as Putin was making his big isolation announcement.

I've read an article along these lines (don't have a link though). The idea is that companies that would otherwise be doing pretty good business in the country but don't have a good in-country business to spend that revenue on, its a lot easier for them to shut down their Russian business. Actually as long as getting money back out of the country is difficult or important, that makes shutting down the Russian businesses a good business decision.
