"A Russian person has an unselfish love for meanness. He will not get anything from this, but he will do disgust to his neighbor."

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video

It's not greed. Look I get they want to put sanctions on Russia to look good for the American market. But nobody cares. Mostly because the US was the cause of the war. It's all hypocrisy. Also I mean wanting a country to suffer and removing jobs from it's people just because the government is pretty stupid. Because they would lose all loyalty from said market after the war ends.

@Darold Hassler But what is exact consequence once you realized this? Will you boycott brands who changed name and few managers in Russia? I think you will continue as usual.

"A Russian person has an unselfish love for meanness. He will not get anything from this, but he will do disgust to his neighbor."

Not only US networks. Even Polish, Ukrainian and the rest of the internet that i'm watching did not cover it that much how this video did, good work!

Nice point of view!

But how are you going to get parts for your vehicle? Once the mechanic runs out of auto parts there will be no more. Manufacturers have stopped shipping auto parts to Russia.

yeah just buy all the leftovers we have left at inflated prices :)) that is totally worth it :)) can you take our trash also and pay us for it?! we will be more then glad to sell it to you! :))

@@jason84nz From neighboring countries. Actually no one is feeling a lack of spare parts currently, for whatever reason. Sure prices went up, just like everything else. Plus more and more Chinese cars are appearing at the dealerships, yet unknown brands, but pretty high quality.

@@strigoiu13 No one needs your leftovers. You may think that West is the only part of the world that can manufacture decent cars, yet that is not true :)

Just buy a BMW E46 and you will be fine, spare parts will never run out in your lifetime 😂

good stuff man, i am with you

The sanctions are not targeted on the Russian people but the regime and its ability to threaten the world. Btw, they are also killing in your name. It seems you're quite happy with this. Let's not forget this, when it will be time to pay the bill.

That’s interesting. I guess, few people know this. So, did these sanctions have any significant impact on your everyday life?

@@RealReporter I was a kid at the time and had a very limited frame of reference. So I really could not comment on the impact.

@@RealReporter same in Iran

@@RealReporter After Adidas and Nike claimed they won't use products from XinJian, their sales in China were down dramaticly. And several Chinese sports brands took the market in no time. and sanction from west like this will actually help China. Japan banned drone sales to China before, US banned China from international space program. Now chips are banned. i can see how that will be going. for country like Russia or China, sanction will not work. they will bounce back.

Gotta love corporate principals

You , Jack , can we go to this area without car? No, there are blacks here

How dare this russians have factories of companies in their own territory without full shopping from Germany and France like civilised european citizens 😮😮

Все так и случилось 😅😅😅

that is due to political pressure. Some brand do fake withdrawal by sell it to russian partner with buyback option 😉

Russia might have claimed the physical properties of the leaving brands but not its major research capabilities as they were not stationed in Russia. The West lost nothing to Russia as we can just manufacture our stuff in other low wage countries, while keeping our research centers close at hand. Which major brands and products other then oil/gas has Russia developed which the rest of the world uses every day of their lives? Russia has a long way to go still to get relevant and feeling is what pains them in the end. Copycat a product is one thing. Develop a new one is something completely different. Ask China where they get their chip manufacturing equipment from.

Not necessarily. Russia has been forced to get more of the technical goods from China and North Korea which are of inferior quality. Also many products aren't really available in Russia. Your argument is like, Who cares if they can't get Filet Mignon, they still have meat (which happens to be hamburger)

Fake news. Western companies have not retreated from Russia based on sanctions, there are no such sanctions. Sanctions are on members or the Regime and companies supporting the Regime, i.e. oil, gas, banks and its supply. Not on consumer goods.

and see how much these brands virtue signal is just this. Virtue signal. Bunch of hypocrites.

@@Willowy13 yep at least I know now that where I spend my money or not

Who looses when the sanctions are implemented? The western countries loose the revenue,taxes jobs etc.russian on the other hand gets to adopt like china through copying and later mastering

for the 1% life is good everywhere :)) even for the higher than median paid worker the idea is the same. you can buy almost everything but at inflated prices if you can afford it. the most of the population do not afford the once affordable items once the sanctions arrive. buy a 2-3 years past collection junk from a brand at more than RRP is not at all fine and affordable for many.

@@strigoiu13can you shut up already? Where do you live? If in USA like me, let’s meet I will show you inflated prices on used cars, houses and food at the stores. You are sitting here online commenting complete BS but everything you own yourself is Chinese.

it is. those big brands are always so keen to try to fool poeple. shame on them

Business is business, I'd be selling to anyone who's buying. Russian's aren't bad people, they have bad leadership. Much like many countries.

It is, and this is nothing new!

January 2021 with a Democrat in office the US started harming and stopping their own energy independence and ability to do oil exports, strange, Biden also started strategic fighting in the Middle East and going back to the use of their oil. No one seemed to notice. Why? His party is now giving around 20 billion to Ukraine and their very attractive ex-actor President and everything is back to Obama’s cold wars and high body count. Why? A pipeline between Russia and Germany spills oil into the water after being damaged. So much for going green. Yet, none of the three main countries involved have citizens allowed to freely speak or anything real on the regular news stations. Why? I don’t know much, but I know we were at peace before this. Well, not under Obama, we are like Obama runs things again after years of peace. Why? Probably best not to answer the rhetorical questions. At least in Russia the people know they don’t really know what’s going on and why. In America people have more options to know more about what’s going on, but they choose not to know and even mock those who want to talk beyond the pushed narratives when there is true freedom to speak. But forget what I’m saying that’s all hyperfocus on “Star Coffee” and not American news claiming Russia is going after who they consider Russians or Russia’s initial concerns with Democrat broken treaties by America in Ukraine. 🤷‍♀️ Personally I’m a pacifist, but a whole lot of people seemed baited into taking sides, do they really understand what they’re taking sides about? Do they know what’s real? Do they know what isn’t? Facts are not even who did what, just like how Ms get crossed out there is a whole lot of that type of thing going on. The only one that knows the full truth is God. Pray and ask him to put you on his side. Don’t assume you know what that is based on eyes that can be decided. Only God can clearly speak without self-promoting compromise or hidden agendas. Trust him and pray for the innocent not to be harmed, don’t cast spells like a witch praying your will be done, pray God’s will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

its just the tip of the iceberg..

Cuz there's really hot trend with make in India projects,,, and also following it saves much tax if company says it's Indian made

@@hyleenpognaire8134 that's true. And naming their brand something Indian, even if the company is not Indian, and getting an Indian workforce works well for these organisations to advertise "Make in India" even if their Indian counterparts are not profiting the way the actual core organization is. Cheap labor, Make in India is helping the organizations profit exponentially.

Well... That makes sense for foreign brands to reinvent themselves to appeal to a foreign market.

It isn’t useless if the trade restrictions have cooperation. Trade is a web. The West still trades with China who in turn trades with Russia still. So China is effectively not our friend here.

Sanctions are useful if the people putting on the sanctions actually sanctioned serious goods, and secondly if the sanctions actually have the will to enforce the sanctions. Western Europe has no ethics and will close an eye to any sale, no matter how ruthless or awful the dictator is. As an example Germany was caught violating Iran sanctions so often I think the world gave up trying to reign Germany in. Even though Germany was selling them missile parts.

@@bor1saz Попробую объяснить максимально сжато. Большинству россиян не всралась эта война десять лет в обед, протестов было бы в десятки раз больше, если бы не власть полиции, которая была взрощена для того, чтобы бороться с терроризмом в нулевых, а теперь борется со своим же населением - к сожалению происходило это всё плавно и еле заметно, но теперь есть как есть. Сравнения с украинскими или грузинскими протестами неуместны, так как там была полиция сравнимая с полицей России в 90х и начале 00х - уровень организации, умение разгонять протесты и жёсткость наказания совершенно разные. Плюс, к сожалению, люди в целом есть и всегда были очень падки на влияние извне - когда-то это была религия, сегодня СМИ. Вот у нас СМИ льют в уши про то, что в Украине ещё даже до Крыма люди хотели "москаляку на гиляку" и что НАТО вот-вот пойдёт войной на нас, и видит Украину как плацдарм. Доля правды в этих вещах, конечно, есть, но в общем и целом мы понимаем, что это херня. В то же время украинцам видимо втирают, что русские хотят заживо есть украинских младенцев, мечтают о ядерном пепле и т.д. - опять же, такие уроды имеются, но в рамках страны их единицы (хороший пример - случай с Красовским и как негативно на его слова отреагировали остальные "патриоты" и даже СК хочет завести дело). Ну и потом вот эта взаимная неприязнь начинает воздействовать друг на друга и мы имеем то, что имеем. Могу сказать только, что даже самые zеданутые ура-патриоты не хотят смерти украинцам, они просто либо не верят в их смерти, либо считают, что это война была незбежна и либо происходит сегодня в меньшем масштабе на Украине, либо в течение 10-20 лет в разы масштабнее уже на территории России.

I think the ultimate conclusion is that no brand is really completely pulling out from Russia. If they truly pulled out, it might look more like the brands would refuse to sell anything to Russia. But if they tear the store down but still find a way to supply to newly renamed stores, the profit loss is minimal. So probably in the mind of American consumers they might think that brands are really pulling out but most have found a loophole to continue staying and selling their products. Some of it may be speculative but it’s true, companies don’t like to lose money so I wouldn’t be surprised if the newly renamed stores were just a different branch of the company.

Well since Apple website claim that these stores are Apple official resellers it is legal and they do ship their products to Russia. There are a lot of countries where the official Apple store is not present,but they do have authorized companies.

Who in their right mind would give away a market, an entire market, to someone else because of some "silly war" when they can, for a while, divert a part of the profit from that market to a middleman, under a time-limited confidential contract which no-one will ever see. When the war eventually finishes and all the countries like Russia again, and that will happen sooner or later, they will switch names again and go back to trading under the old original brand.

@@milobar100 Most of these companies produce in China, and many already have the problem of Chinese factories just continuing production after work hours and selling unlicensed but identical copies. Why in the world would a Chinese company agree to a deal that gives them a small cut when they could just go to the factories, get the products at the source, and sell directly to Russians? I don’t care about the Western angle; I don’t see how this would make sense for the Chinese counterpart.

We have bugs of chips made for Russia in Turkey by PepsiCo. PepsiCo and Coca-Cola never left Russia they producing products for it in the neighborhood countries. Not just Grey import, specifically made for Russia in a different country.

I would also assume that rather than selling the brand, they're just renting the brand rights to Chinese or local businessmen and will go back immediately once the air clears. As far as I can see, at least some of the brands did a legit pull out (McDonald's, Starbucks, Uniqlo).

It’s funny how the sanctions, that really nobody but the USA wants, have backfired, as many closed businesses are now China owned. Way to go, USA, keep shooting yourself in the foot!

The thing is that all the local producers are still going to be in Russia. All the same suppliers will still be there, ready to go, just need a simple rebranding.

Unfortunately, not any. The goods of high-tech industries are more difficult to replace... Something is purchased through third countries (and here China and Iran are often seriously inferior to analogues, although not always), they are trying to restore something from the Soviet heritage, but all this takes time and money... In general, the West has settled down well, having adopted licensing and patent law, often without even having grounds for this. Theft and blackmail - the way they are.

“replaced very quickly” actually means imported from China which is an issue. I do not have high hopes for Russian businesses because they will loose the opportunity once again to start producing own goods. Unfortunately, the market will be taken over by China and Turkey. Please do not expect decent Russian made mobile phone, laptop or clothing anytime soon.

@@troysilver6853 They will get there. Hey; 5 years from now when the war is long forgotten, who is to say they don't open franchises in the USA?

Конечно ничего нового - кока кола с 1941 по 1945 делала газировку для фашистов. И это в состоянии войны Германии и США. А тут театр обиженок которые почему-то громко заявили об уходе, а потом тихо остались. Ничего нового - называется лицемерие.

Hey, Taras! Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

Потому что потребляди

Да, меня это тоже удивляет, шмотки и еда это не что то высоко технологичное.

True

@@mishkaseverokavkazskiy230 Потребление. Мне 24, мое поколение абсолютно потребл*дское, сам ходил с айфоном, но сменил его чисто из принципов. А друзья и сверстники плачут, что теперь их айфоны не такие функциональные, спотифай не работает и вообще в Мак хочется сходить. Просто п*здец, раньше мне казлось шуткой, когда старшее поколение говорило, что мы готовы продать страну за пэпси, оказалось это не шутка. Но всё же радует, что среди моего поколения много адекватных, много кто сейчас на фронте

все, кто может позволить себе вещи таких брендов, могут слетать заграницу, купить там и вернуться)

@@Aleksandra0189 тут больше не про доступность, а про то, что в отличие от многих масс брендов, которые ушли, но технически нет, лакшери бренды действительно ушли до такой степени, что закрыли офисы и всех работников релоцируют в другие страны.

Шанель не закрылся, прямо в центре Москвы я видела как минимум один работающий магазин

@@sfkbaz6933 я видела закрытый магазин, с которого уже логотип сняли. Ну значит эти не ушли. А вот ЛВ с Эрмес точно все. Есть знакомые в этих брендах, их всех релоцируют, а офисы закрывают. В Эрмес даже продавцов-консультантов переводят на работу в другие страны.

@@liubooov хермес тоже работает, не знаю почему вы так говорите, да и вообще много люксовых брендов остались , те же барбери, гучи, фенди поло, маржела, это только то что я видела лично, уверена что уж в люксовом сегменте осталось абсолютное большинство

Like for mentioning the Russian athletes. They had nothing to do with this war

I disagree about the exclusion of Russian athletes from international competitions if they represent their country of origin. While unfortunate for them, you still need to show a message about how war is drifting apart the nations. At the same time, plenty of competitions allow for Russian participation as long as the flag isn't shown. A lot of the time sports competitions are also regarded as competition between countries, even if it's realistically just a game of statistics at the top level. Also, there's been plenty of scandals prior, especially something like the Russian team doping en masse for the Sochi winter Olympics. Doping rules can be somewhat hypocritical though, considering that it's the name of the game in virtually any sport. You can't be top tier without juicing something. The point though is that there's plenty of international tension regarding these athletic competitions, which will invariably bring substantial changes due to major events like the Russian invasion of Ukraine. There's no wrong answer to this, and at the same time no right answer. Nobody gets what they "deserve" in life, so I don't see why athletes specifically need to get a chance to prove their hard work.

​@@leonrothen why aren't USA athletes excluded from sport events? USA invaded third of this planet and messed up so many countries and caused so many deaths, why aren't there no sanctions for USA? Genocide in Vietnam, ni sanctions, illegal bombing of Serbia, no sanctions, what they did to all those countries in middle east and still no sanctions. You are so hypocritical.
