American Companies Thriving In Russia: Is There Something To Be Ashamed About?
Ever since the Democratic National Committee decided to turn their disdain for Bernie Sanders into disdain for Russians and Donald Trump, the New York billionaire has been seen as being in bed with Russian oligarchs and longing to cut deals in Moscow. Since when was it so bad to want to do business with the Russians?
It's politically correct to hate on Russia these days. To like Russia even a bit means you support Vladimir Putin, or are impressed by the Russian mafia and probably hate polar bears, or something.
If it is so bad to do business with the Russians, or even want to do business with the Russians, then maybe these companies should cut and run before the righteous threaten them with boycotts or defame their name in the press.
Here's who's doing business with the bad guys.
On July 13, Pfizer closed a joint venture agreement with Russian pharmaceutical company NovaMedica.
Boeing has been in Russia for decades. About five years ago, it announced plans to invest $27 billion over the next 30 years. In July 2015, an agreement was signed between Russian titanium manufacturer VSMPO-Avisma Corporation, Boeing and the Ural Federal University for joint research and development projects.
Ford has been in Russia for 13 years. In April 2015, the joint Russian-American venture Ford Sollers launched the production of the Ford Transit. The American brand launched four new vehicles in Russia last year, including the Focus and Fiesta models sold here.
U.S. companies with an existing presence in Russia include, PepsiCo, Procter&Gamble, McDonald's, Mondelez International, General Motors, Johnson & Johnson, Cargill, Alcoa, and General Electric. GE recently signed a joint venture with oil firm Rosneft in expectation that Washington will actually one day lift sanctions on oil firms.
Morgan Stanley, not Trump International, is a yuuuuge American investor in Russian real estate, according to Knight Frank. In April, a fund controlled by Morgan Stanley began negotiations to acquire several shopping centers in Moscow. That same month, their real estate investing fund acquired the Metropolis in Moscow for $1.2 billion from Capital Partners, a Kazakhstan developer.
American retailers continue to develop their businesses in Russia. They are not sanctioned to do so. Many new American brands entered the Russian market over the last two years, including Forever 21 and Crate & Barrel in 2014.
American food companies have been expanding, even while Russia was busy annexing parts of Ukraine real estate, and arming rebels in the Donbass for which it was sanctioned in 2014. Last year, Starbucks opened its 100th store in Russia. Krispy Kreme opened its first store in 2013. It now has five.
According to a New York Times article from April 2015, even the Clinton Foundation liked Russians as recent as 2013. The Russian state owned atomic energy firm Rosatom acquired Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, and thanks to recommendations by Hillary Clinton, a $2.35 million donation was made to the Foundation run by her and former president Bill Clinton, the New York Times reported.
In other words, the Russians can't be all that bad.

Uranium One was owned by a Canadian philanthropist who sat on the board of the Clinton Foundation.. the $145 million went to charity.
The Hill's attempt to use that with a half assed lie destroys their credibility.
Didn't say that, the left keeps saying Mueller is closing in. Hell at this rate Trump will be out of office and Mueller will still be closing in.
Trump is a terrible human being.. I can't believe you still admire him.
BillyBob was far worse. Yet you leftist liars defended his offensive behavior towards women. Hell, NO ONE compares to the offensive behavior of Teddy Boy Kennedy.
The notion that leftists are claiming the high moral ground here is laughably inept and moronic. But you liberals do moron really well.
Only on paper.
Ok.. prove that it didn't go to the Clinton Global Initiative.
Were you always like this or are you trying to be like Trump?
deflection toMueler again? why not mention the midterms again. your question was far from simple and involved Russian mafia and Trump

I never defended Clinton's behavior.. In fact, I was a Republican until Bush invaded Iraq. You seem to have caught Trump's vile dementia.
outstanding article. "many many ,many many Russians" lol ( the new Russiaphobic mantra)

Hillary is the one sucking his cock. Your head is up her ass while she does it.

and the best way to eliminate Putin's shenanigans isn't isolation,it's to bring the Russian economy integrated into the west.
But we'd rather be poutraged at the Russian boogeyman

Nothing in the dossier has been shown or proven false.
CONFIRMED by the New York Times: The former head of Russia’s uranium company (Ian Telfer) made four hidden donations to the Clinton Foundation totaling $2.35 million.
As the New York Times has confirmed: “As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.”

CONFIRMED by the New York Times: Despite claims to the contrary, Uranium One has, in fact, exported “yellowcake” out of America and is “routinely packed into drums and trucked off to a processing plant in Canada.”
The New York Times confirmed that: “Asked about that, the commission confirmed that Uranium One has, in fact, shipped yellowcake to Canada even though it does not have an export license.”

CONFIRMED by CNBC: Clinton Foundation mega-donor Frank Holmes claimed he sold Uranium One before Hillary Clinton’s State Department approved the Russian transfer—but his company’s own SEC filings prove otherwise.
On CNBC, Clinton mega donor and uranium executive Frank Holmes claimed he sold his Uranium One stock before Hillary Clinton’s State Dept. approved the transfer of 20% of all U.S. uranium to Putin’s Russia in 2010. Yet according to his company’s (U.S. Global Investors), own 2011 SEC filing, Holmes’ company still hold Uranium One stock, a point he later admitted.

CONFIRMED by the New York Times: While eight other agencies had to sign off on approving the transfer of 20 percent of all U.S. uranium to Russia, Hillary Clinton’s State Department was the only government agency headed by an official (Hillary Clinton) whose family foundation received $145 million from foreign investors involved in the uranium deal.
In its financial review of the uranium transaction, the New York Times confirmed that nine foreign investors in the uranium deal flowed a combined $145 million to Hillary Clinton’s family foundation. None of the remaining eight agency heads who approved the uranium transfer received foreign donations to their family’s charities.

You don't comprehend what you are reading since you still don't know anything about the Clinton Global Initiative or Uranium One.
