Whole lot of sex change applications coming…
What? Cut Russia off from Ricola?
Cough drop embargo.
That will teach them!
LOL, can’t wait to see the looks on the faces of the Russian oligarchs when they lose access to the funds they’ve pillaged from the Russian people.
The Swiss will only be concerned with accommodating the avalanche of cash coming their way if it’s not already there, sent by terrified oligarchs in Ookraine.
Exchange rates will be far more important then locations of borders.
Guess not.
Going to Yodel at them
“Neutrality” in the presence of evil is a moral absurdity. The Swiss and the Swedes sold whatever they could to Nazi Germany until the Germans ran out of gold. Today’s Swiss no doubt warm themselves with Russian gas paying for it with the profits they make as “secret” bankers to the corrupt brutes of the world. Rather deal with an honest,direct Russian than these sanctimonious clockmakers.
Die Schweitz would have a tough time moving, what with all of those mountains and valleys and lakes and stuff.
little known story:
at the end of the second world war, the Russians who found themselves in the west were sent back to the USSR by the western powers; often forceably and even at gunpoint; for many this meant a trip straight to the gulag and certain death.
Switzerland found itself with tens of thousands of Russians on its hands who had managed to cross the border into its country to seek refuge.
Knowing what would likely happen to these Russians, the Swiss refused to hand them back; despite international pressure and dire threats.
Quietly, they assimilated them all.
The ONLY reason the Swiss have survived is their neutrality and the value they provide to all sides.
Lose that, they are done.
This is nuts.
