The World Economic Forum (WEF), the Globalist pulpit, has decided to sever ties with Russia, after Russian President Vladimir Putin sent troops into Ukraine to “demilitarize” and carry out a “denazification” of its government.
WEF spokesperson Amanda Russo, told Politico:
“We are not engaging with any sanctioned individual and have frozen all relations with Russian entities,” WEF spokesperson Amanda Russo told Politico.
A research center and an advisory council located in Moscow, has also been severed from the WEF, but the group says that they will continue to work on the relationship between Russia and Ukraine.
As reported by Politico:
The 800-pound gorilla of the elite global conference circuit has walked a tightrope for decades when it comes to Russia: basking in the Kremlin’s attention while cringing over oligarch antics.
The Forum’s founder, Klaus Schwab, prides himself on making his annual meeting in Davos open to all comers, including via a personal relationship with Putin dating back to the early 1990s.
The WEF has been addressed by Putin and his predecessor, Dmitry Medvedev, five times over the past 14 years and Putin turned down their invitation to speak in 2015.
Since troops moved into Ukraine, Russia has been cut off and isolated from the rest of the world. Big banks have taken away their ability to make international transactions, along with other sanctions, and now big corporations are pushing them further into economic ruin.
Coca-Cola, PepsiCo., McDonald’s and Starbucks, have all announced that they will no longer be operating in Russia.
In a statement, Coca-Cola said, “Our hearts are with the people who are enduring unconscionable effects from these tragic events in Ukraine,” adding “We will continue to monitor and assess the situation as circumstances evolve.”
PepsiCo. followed suit and released a similar sentiment, suspending sales across the country and McDonald’s has closed over 850 locations.
Starbucks, in their typical woke fashion, has plenty to say about the situation in Russia and CEO Kevin Johnson sent out a memo to “suspend all business activity in Russia.”
“We condemn the horrific attacks on Ukraine by Russia and our hearts go out to all those affected,” said Johnson. “We continue to watch the tragic events unfold and, today, we have decided to suspend all business activity in Russia, including shipment of all Starbucks products,”
“Our licensed partner has agreed to immediately pause store operations and will provide support to the nearly 2,000 partners in Russia who depend on Starbucks for their livelihood,” he added.
The irony here is all these companies, in the long run may be doing the Russian people a solid, no one needs to be ingesting their poison products anyway.
As financial institutions and corporations are celebrated for their role in basically attempting to bankrupt a sovereign nation, people need to keep in mind – that if these institutions and corporations can do this to a country like Russia, they can turn that on anyone, at any time.
