No country NEEDS McDonald's.

the difference is that for 30 years since McDonalds is in Russia, nobody said “We don’t need McDonalds”

they only left after the “special operation” started, but the propaganda will try to shift the blame and tell “whatever, we don’t need McDonalds anyways”

next thing you know: “we dont’t need bread, we don’t need bananas, we don’t need water, German cars are for fashists”, etc.

Russia does. Look at how bizarrely long the queue to the first McDonalds in Moscow was.

It was after approx 70 years of Soviet regime. People had never seen anything like this before, during their whole life.

That is when it is suddenly closing and wont be available anymore. They like McDonald and it is closing, so they all want last burgers. And even people in that queue would tell you they dont need it, they would however tell you they like it a lot.

Didn’t happen in my city, must be a Moscow thing. But yeah, that’s quite sad.
