If operating in bad countries is a reason to have your little boycott, then not operating in Russia won't budge the dial because BK will keep operating in the US irrespective.

Ok I get it now.... you are saying US is a bad country. I didn't catch on that.

I am also saying that, if one is concerned with "Does BK exist in bad countries?", the Russia question is irrelevant because BK will always be in the bad country that is the US, making its specific actions in any other context moot as the question is already answered.
