Volkswagen has signaled that it is going to stay the course in russia, despite current political and economic headwinds. why do you think it made this decision? what are the pros and cons of this decision? in your opinion, is it the correct decision?

In Volkswagen, part of the reason, I believe, that they stayed in Russia, is because Russia and Germany have, in many instances, combined military and political forces. For Russia, it's a pro to their economy because they are able to hire more people there. It is a con in the sense that it may cost Volkswagen more money to be there in Russia than what their income may total.
