AFAIK, the situation with Burger King, is that unlike McDonalds, BK doesn't have much leverage over Russian franchisee's. They can try and say "close the stores, we're leaving", but the actual store owners would just say "no" and re-brand them back to "Rostik's". They don't really have any assets in Russia so there's nothing really to sell either, but they do still receive the franchise fees. So pulling out would only benefit Russia

That's one way to defeat Russia. Have them eat garbage food.

If BK food in the US is any indication of the quality in Russia, let them stay open. Worst of the worst as far as fast food goes. It's economic warfare with none of the war crimes! /s

They're making too much money. Corporations are not beholden to nations, silly Americans.

Can Burger King pull out of the US first? Absolutely the worst fast food chain ever. The only reason anybody goes to BK is if McDonald's is on fire.

Personally I prefer Burger King over McDonald's. Haven't been since the first BK opened in my city.
