    God bless her, but your grandma isn’t a significant European financial power or a major global south semi-colony like Brazil or China.

    The US is frantic to maintain control over Europe and delegitimize its rivals, if the US could wave a magic wand, every rival countey would belong to the level of Russia and Venezuela, legally barred from accessing the UN for fear of arrest. Switzerland acknowledging the diplomatic weight of China and Brazil is very significant.

      China is a dictatorship under a genocidal regime.

      Brazil’s government is happy to suck dick for international cash.

      What we need is to give Ukraine drone swarms so every worthless vatnik can be put out of our misery.

      The only thing that has to change is fewer Ukrainians need to be hurt, which is why we need to arm them with the absolute best so they can glory over the Russian trash in old Soviet junk.

      Russia picked a fight with a country a fraction of their size and got humiliated, par for the course for Russia historically, they’ve always been a joke.

      I don’t think that a swiss ministry is significant at all in this question. While the headline says “Switzerland” as the whole country, it’s just the opinion of a single person in the government.

      It’s completely impossible that he got bribed to say that, or that he has other personal interests, right? It never happened in the history

        I think if the foreign affairs ministry was contaminated just to make an errant statement, we would at least see a backlash within the Swiss government. There is no evidence of this.
