Blackberry did not get credit, why? I'm very disspointed with NYTIMES..see excerpt and link below. These American news papers cannot be trusted. They didn't give John Chen and Blackberry credit for being the
FIRST(3/4/2022) to exit Russia and without anyone asking them to. I remember John Chen tweeting 1 hr after the war started, that Blackberry was exiting Russian markets completely. QNX and Cybersecurity products no longer available or funcitoning in Russia
market 1 hr after start of war. I'm a big patriot so I will wait for John Chen (Chinese background) to immediatly announce exit from China when the Taiwan wars starts. I want him to stop supporting QNX and Cylance customers immediately and leave the car companies stranded. He should because these chinese are the real aggressors. They have 100s of bases sorounding western countries including the US and Britain. Chinese want war with west and likely will use Nukes.
From blackberry on March 4 2022,
1 day after war started.
Following Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine, BlackBerry has decided to cease all business activities in Russia with immediate effect. This includes ceasing supporting existing customers, transactions with prospective customers, and access to our products in Russia.
Additionally, given the urgent need for humanitarian aid in Ukraine, we will be working with charities responding to the crisis.
We applaud the bravery of the Ukrainian people, who are defending their homeland and fighting for the future of democracy for us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.
