Supersize This Putin: McDonalds Closes Crimean Locations

Only in America could something like this bit of Mc-news be sold to the masses of asses by a corrupt cadre of state-corporate media hacks who long ago chucked their first amendment responsibilities into the crapper to become careerist pressititutes riding on the establishment gravy train. Those economic sanctions that have been hurled at Russia with as much real effect as Zell Miller’s legendary “spitballs”  are now getting some real clout as the punishment towards the reincarnated red menace grows a set of teeth.  McDonalds, the tip of the spear of the American corporate imperial conquest of the world is closing locations in Crimea. This comes much to the delight of moronic consumers of the cable ‘news’ tabloid infotainment that poisons their minds as surely as the artery clogging food at Micky D’s does to their bodies. It is a sardonically funny real life example of the thoroughly dishonest rhetoric of that cynical political flim-flam man Paul Ryan’s “full stomachs and empty souls” speech to the low-hanging fruit at the recent CPAC soiree.  Nothing could be more ironically truthful of the state of the American “consumer” today, whether it be focus group tested talking points or lousy fast food that is being devoured.

Boy that is really going to show Putin who’s boss. I can practically see William Kristol, the Kagan Brothers, John McCain and the rest of the neocons popping the champagne corks over this latest fusillade of indignity directed at the hated and fully demonized Russian leader. Considering the insane levels of hubris, delusion and arrogance that exists among the “end of history”  crowd it can be imagined that they truly believe that depriving Russians of greasy, unhealthy American fast food is going to ignite their long lusted after color revolution that will bring about regime change in Russia. What a bunch of  reckless and dangerous dummies and President Barack Obama and his Skull and Bones pedigreed stooge John Kerry are no better. With the latest edition of the impossible dream of Israel accepting a peace deal with the Palestinians now going up like a flaming bag of dogshit Mr. Kerry has officially become the grand marshal of the US fool’s parade. My God, what a mind boggling fiasco of a first year on the job in thoroughly screwing up everything that the stammering ass got involved in, wasn’t John Bolton available? Hey Obama, did it ever dawn on you that there was a reason why the Republicans supported Kerry for the Secretary of State gig? How is that “Team of Rivals” thing workin’ out for you now?

The news of McDonalds pulling out of Crimea is already being picked up and fed through the media echo chamber with the launching pad being the neocon message transmission station at the Washington Post. While it hasn’t yet reached the columns of the A team of propagandists over at Pravda on the Potomac – namely neocon war wench Jennifer Rubin and Charles “Dr.Strangelove” Kraüthammer – some so-called Russian expert named Kathy Lally seems to be practically peeing in her pants with glee while blogging:

Talk about a Big Mac attack. Here’s a sanction with some real bite to it.

The three McDonald’s restaurants in Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula that has been abruptly annexed by Russia, are now closed. The Ukrainian branch of McDonald’s, based in Kiev, said in a statement Thursday that they had been closed for technical reasons, perhaps referring to the difficulty of supplying your restaurants when they turn up in a foreign country overnight.
