Ukraine’s National Corruption Prevention Agency added major food corporations PepsiCo and Mars to the “international sponsors of war” list on Sept. 1.
@Cloudless & I maintain a zine tracking all Sponsors of Russia’s invasion at https://kbin.social/m/SponsorsOfRussianInvasion . We use multiple sources viz. Ukraine govt sites, Yale’s tracker, and credible news sources.
We also have a zine tracking business who have rejected to support Russia’s invasion and have exited Russia at https://kbin.social/m/BizAgainstRussianInvasion
Doesn’t stop Ukraine from buying drones built by Xiaomi and sold/distributed by Alibaba.
I don’t see why it would. It’s not like they’re in a position to not buy from wherever they can.
If you buy a drone for lets say 1000$ from Xiaomi via AliBaba, 100$ of those go to AliBaba maybe 1$ goes to Russia. from the 900$ left for Xiaomi, 600 are gone for the production. 300 left, 3 go to Russia. 4$ for Russia. But if this drone helps invalidate only one russian soldier, that 4$ are easily worth 100000$. If it helps invalidate a tank, it goes to the millions. Thats easily worth it if there is no alternative
I have also seen people say “I buy from Amazon, because I don’t want to support Alibaba”… like dude where do you think “VURUU” brand you just bought from sources all their shit from?
Not surprised that a company named after the god of war is an international war sponsor
Took me about 7 seconds of thinking before I realized you meant Mars. Couldn’t remember a God named Pepsi for the life of me.
Actually, Mars was named after its founder, Franklin Clarence Mars.
Franklin Clarence Mars (/ˈmɑːrz/; September 24, 1883 – April 8, 1935) was an American business magnate who founded the food company Mars, Incorporated, which mostly makes chocolate candy. Mars’ son Forrest Edward Mars developed M&M’s and the Mars bar. He is also widely believed to be the god of war.
Well deserved. Let’s boycott those fuckers.
That’s not how you spell “imprison the C-suite of”. Last time I read the Constitution, giving aid and comfort to America’s enemies was treason.
Could’ve fooled me. I was under the impression we were sending weapons and trainers to one of our allies who are fighting them. Sounds like an enemy to me.
You do have a point… Nestlé is also as evil as they come but a KitKat® is so delicious
FYI: the “the” before Ukraine is superfluous. You can just type “like Ukraine just accused you of.”
“international war sponsor” what a nice title, I think every company operating in US should have it!
Can we not be as stupid as redditors when they downvote people for asking questions?
No one is downvoting for asking questions they’re downvoting for asking trolling questions that are either obvious or can be answered by a quick Google search.
Only a troll is “unaware” the us has committed war crimes itself often at the direction of corporations.
Eg: the dole company in South and central America etc.
