    Hm. Apparently they left . . . Christ, six weeks ago?

    Well. I guess its better than not. Still, way to make a statement, redbull.

        This is not about supporting trans rights tho, is it. But okay, how about most western companies exited russia within six months after the invasion? RedBull hung in there for another couple of years. And you think they were concerned maybe a bunch of MAGAt shitheads would bring down their stock price temporarily? No.

        I mean, I’ve heard the management are friendly with white supremacists but I don’t know why they stayed invested for so long in russia. I doubt it was fear of hillbilly discontent.
