As someone who enjoys trying different cuisines and exploring new flavors, I believe it is essential to support companies that align with our values. However, it appears that some food manufacturers are failing to live up to their promises. This not only undermines their credibility but also leaves a bitter taste in the mouths of consumers like myself. The experience of using products from these manufacturers can be described as disheartening and frustrating, for more read https://www.pissedconsumer.com/blog/2023/08/food-manufacturers-lag-behind-commitment-to-halt-business-russia/ . We put our trust in these companies, expecting them to uphold their commitments and prioritize ethical practices. Yet, they seem to prioritize profit over principles, disregarding the impact their actions have on the global community. When I purchase food products, I want to know that they have been sourced and produced responsibly. I want to support companies that prioritize fair trade, sustainability, and
Why, dear reporter, are you trying to guilt-trip Poles? They are doing an absolutely fantastic job with refugees - so why are you trying to pull out your race card? If you feel the need to do it, then go to various countries in the Middle East and ask the people their why they are not pulling in their Muslim brethren who claim to be refugees from those countries around them. See how that goes.
White privilege? Disgraceful this guy is pulling out the race card. All non-Ukrainians have a country with a government can help them. It is pathetic that they expect Poland to help them. British people can go home. Indian people can go home. So can Africans. One's colour has nothing to say with it.
A nation that won't even subject itself to the jurisdiction and law of the international criminal court should keep its mouth shut.
B.S . PROPAGANDA
LIES ,WARTIME PROPAGANDA AT IT'S FINEST . WAKE UP WORLD . IF RUSSIA WANTED UKRAINE THEY'D HAVE IT . IF NATO REALLY CARED UKRAINE WOULD BE A MEMBER OR AT VERY LEAST A MEMBER OF THE E.U. ITS AN INFORMATION WAR PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
Why would a journalist interview a rapper outright calling for violence on Russians, and then give away exactly where he is taking shelter with other artists? You're endangering your interviewees.
Ukrainians are insurgents? Did you call the French, Polish, Norwegian or Czech fighters in WWII as insurgents? No, they were the Resistance fighting occupiers of their respective countries, just as the Ukraine civil defence and military fighters have been doing now. if anything, it is the Russians who are the insurgents.
The crisis in Ukraine? Call it what it is: the invasion of Ukraine. Period. Stop dignifying Putin's propaganda.
Zelensky is a new hero of mine and I hope and pray he and his courageous citizens can overcome this. I also hope Putin lives long enough to see all of his ambitions unfulfilled and stripped of power. Maybe wishing for any of that is unrealistic. But I still hope.
