So, mafia land has turned on the turbo in the money printing presses. Good news for Ukraine, very bad news for the mafia state.
It was reported recently that McDonaldโs are returning to the shithole.
Happily that is not the case :
โMcDonald’s confirmed that it did indeed file applications to register its trademarks in Russia. But not for opening restaurants. All for the sake of protecting the brand from “foreign use”, the company clarified.โ

A similar rumour said that Coca-Cola would return to the shithole, but this too has been debunked.
BUT : some blue chip companies are still trading in the shithole :
Leroy Merlin
JT Group
Philip Morris International
PepsiCo
Auchan
Mondalez
Bacardi
Bonduelle
Mars
Nestle
Procter and Gamble
Yves Rocher
Make sure no one you know buys any of the above shit.
And of course all the big chicom outfits are doing great in the shithole.
This could be stopped if the governments would put a 100% tax on those companies who are still earning blood money. Sometimes, you cannot count on compassion, especially when there is money involved. Those CEOs have no morals either. They would lap up blood puddled on the ground if it would improve their portfolio.
Exclusive: OPEC+ to further speed up oil output hikes, four sources say
LONDON (Reuters) -OPEC+ plans to further accelerate oil output hikes and could unwind its 2.2 million barrels per day of voluntary cuts by the end of October if members do not improve compliance with their production quotas, four sources from the group said.
OPEC+ shocked the oil market in April by agreeing a faster-than-expected unwinding of cuts despite weak prices and demand. The move was designed by OPEC+ leader Saudi Arabia to punish some members for poor quota compliance, sources have said.
OPEC+, which includes the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies such as Russia, agreed another big output hike for June on Saturday, taking the total it plans to release in April, May and June to nearly 1 million bpd.
OPEC+ will maintain the trend and will likely agree in June to release another 411,000 bpd in July, the four OPEC+ sources briefed on the matter said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
OPEC, the Saudi government’s communications office, and the office of Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
The group will likely approve accelerated hikes for August, September and October, with the idea of unwinding the remainder of a big portion of voluntary cuts if Iraq, Kazakhstan and other laggards do not improve compliance and deliver compensation cuts, the sources said.
If compliance does not improve, the voluntary cuts will be unwound by November, one of the sources said, referring to the 2.2 million bpd portion of OPEC+’s voluntary cuts by eight members.
OPEC+ is still cutting output by almost 5 million bpd and many of the cuts are due to remain in place until the end of 2026.
In December, OPEC+ agreed to gradually phase out the 2.2 million bpd voluntary part of total cuts by the end of September of 2026 but agreed to accelerate this process in April.
Oil prices fell to a four-year low in April below $60 per barrel on accelerated OPEC+ hikes and as U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs raised concerns about a global economic slowdown.
Reuters reported this week that Saudi officials have briefed allies and industry officials that they are unwilling to prop up oil markets with further supply cuts.
Kazakhstan defied OPEC+ this month when its energy minister said he will prioritise national interests over those of the OPEC+ group when deciding on oil production levels. Kazakhstan’s April oil output exceeded its OPEC+ quota despite a 3% fall.
