    The entire performance of lib's "activism" over this entire issue has been the most embarrassing thing ever. It either comprises of:

    -Posting on social media about how badass (read: bloodthirsty) they would be if they went to Ukraine -Waving Ukraine flags in a random corner -Consumerism bullshit

    Canada just pulled it from shelves. Not only is this the dumbest sanction ever but our liquor stores are government run which counts as NATO action against Russia

    They did the same thing in 2013 when Russia passed an antj-gay law, and they had to be told it wasn't Russian. Yet here we are a decade later

      Stop this evil pro-Russian propaganda.

      Vodka = Russia. That's just the way it is.

        actually had a liberal say "oh, so you're pro-putin. i should have guessed" and then block me on twitter when I told him that bottle of Stolichnaya is Latvian and the guy who makes it has an arrest warrant in Russia since 2002

      They already made one, it's called "the free press of western liberal democracies".

        same. the only two vodka's I've found I like are standard and haku. Mainly because I don't get a headache while drinking it or when i wake up the morning after. Like there's been some that I'll have an ounce in a simple cocktail or juice that'll give me a feeling like I'm lightly hungover without even being halfway through the drink.

          apparently some of it is made in latvia, some in russia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolichnaya

          "The CEO of the company also insisted that the company is "not a Russian company", even though "the company operates a distillery in Russia, that several hundred of its 2,500 employees are in Russia and that it obtains its ingredients from Russia.""

              Here in Brazil, I've bought it from two online stores who list it as "imported from Russia"

              Stupidly I forgot to check the label to see if it was really the Russian version. I found a lawsuit from 2017 saying that SPI owned the brand in my country
