I'm just listing one to start this off that amused me when I read about it

McDonald's To Temporarily Close Restaurants & Pause Operations in Russia

Now its hardly going to bother Putin. It is however a sign to the Russian people that something is going on?

I doubt Russians will be on the street rioting over it but any discontent in the Russian population could be a good thing. Could also make things worse - who knows seemingly little things sometime change the balance.

Edit> Thinking about it I can remember back to about 30 years ago when the first McDonalds in Moscow was a massive big deal https://www.rbth.com/history/329911-uss ... -mcdonalds .

Good point about the symbolism of the East West opening up. Will McDonalds closing "for the duration" be as symbolic I wonder?
