Not just doing business in Russia to supply food to the general public and create tax revenues driven by economic growth, but also supporting genocide in Ukraine by sending care packages to encourage Russian terrorists. >

Let's be real here, the Russian branch might not have had much choice in the matter. But doesn't change the fact that they had previously decided that they were fine with the cost of doing business. >

Doubtful they were randomly forced to send care packages. But then again, this is Putin's Russia. >

I don't think there's anything random there. Russia is fucked for resources and has absolute power, they go "send rations for our troops or we just take over the factory". Seems pretty straight forward to me.
