Note: to be really really honest, I think that this is a fake. But a very funny one. The true story is that Coke in Russia did not include the Crimea on its initial map, and then decided to add it, which, of course, might have made some Urkopatriots angry. But still, I cannot imagine Coke making a map of the Ukraine for the Ukraine without Crimea, so I think that this is probably a Russian fake. But a hilarious one nonetheless.

Moral or the story: dont piss off a Ukrainian woman. I know – my mom was one.
Hi Saker, I miss your Weekly Political-Military reports . Maybe you could resume them? How about? say, ” Empire’s War on the Caucasus, week #1: sharpening their teeth on Nogorno-Karabakh”
It is not a fake, but a joke. Funny one indeed. Very close to how a real “Ukropatriot” would act. They are actors and its not a real Cola, of course.
It was back in January 2016.
Ukrainians call for boycott of Coke and Pepsi over maps showing Crimea as part of Russia
http://uatoday.tv/politics/redrawing-ukraine-s-borders-coca-cola-pepsico-add-crimea-to-russia-s-map-566818.html
I’m aware of it. It was a post on a social network with a map of Russia.
While in this joke they printed a map of Ukraine with a text in Ukrainian and without Crimea. Again, there is no and never was such Coke.
I thought I would share a Russian friend’s post on another site. I think it shows the feelings of Russians (in a sarcastic way):
“Russian democratic opposition thirsting for freedom gathered for preelection compaign meeting in “New York… All advisors arrived… CIA, Mi6 and Neo Nazi elements from Ukraine… Pls Free russia!”
Dear The Saker,
Well it seems the joke is on the West with the “Panama papers”:
“Goebbels had less-biased articles’: Public slams MSM for Putin focus after Panama papers leak….”

And who is there – yes you have it our fave UkroNazi supporter – good old Porkie boy.
Hey but lets blame Putin so people won’t realise its their own Governments/Leaders etc. who are behind the headlines……the desperation is palpable – people are not believing it though……
Rgds,

@Veritas: How can you dare to say anything bad about our dear leader and brother chocolate Piotr??
He really is an honest boy!
Ukraine President Poroshenko Responds To Money Laundering Allegations

Petro Pornoschenkel:
“””””I believe I might be the first top official in Ukraine who treats declaring of assets, paying taxes, conflict of interest issues seriously”””””
On a pro side I must say that his company’s cake is a real miracle.
But he has stolen everything from the Soviet Union, including his sweets company.
Re Porkie: how better to smuggle into Ukr heroin than chocolate boxes? Porkie’s preffered route has been shut down. What to do?
And his statement is a joke in itself.
He explicitly promised to sell his biz’s as the Ukrainian constitution _demands_ from its president. Yet so far he didn’t even attempt to. Instead he increased his income 10fold since he took over the presidency.
That ZH claims he won the election by a landslide is not really correct. Wasn’t it that his only real opponents got forbidden before the election was performed?
yeah, that’s pretty cute

Eh, the only separatists are those who want to see Ukraine as not a part of Russia, as far as I care.
What makes me sad and makes me think sad toughts, is that Coca-Cola (and other similar examples) loses no matter what it does. Boycott neither Ukraine or Russia? Lose profits, and therefore lose money… Boycott Ukraine and sell only to Russians and Russia sympathizers (which are a bigger market than Ukraine, because of the vast number of people)? Get sued by the American government and lose money.
So these lazy bastards who make the decisions in large corporations decide to do nothing and lose a little money, than to risk and as a consequense lose a lot of it. I kind of understand them, but not really.
