Do they prefer 2022 food and Internet, or dreams of the 1970s USSR?

people in Ukraine are not getting this.....in fact they are getting bombed as we speak or write, and as for PepsiCo.....they are still operating and suspending sales.....BS....a fucking embargo is a fucking embargo....the only way for the Russian's to feel this is to understand that pain of not having job, just like the Ukraine's right now and putting that front and center on Putin and that war mongering Duma....
