Fuck that rapist.

But on something this sensitive, I’d appreciate a better source than the daily fail.

Significance isn’t that straightforward. Something can have lots of significance to one person and none to another.

Or lots of significance in relation to an event or ideology, or movement, but none to another.

Yes, that’s how national media in democratic countries work. UK’s BBC, France’s FranceInfo, Germany’s ZDF work similarly.

to be fair russia only released that list after the invasion of ukraine. So we don’t know if switzerland was in it before.

Anyways, I find this news interesting, and given a couple people have upvoted, I’m a couple others do too, that’s enough for me, I’m not going to force you to find it interesting.

Ever since we put sanctions yes. And just like Austria, although “neutral” we were far more aligned and integrated with the west since the end of ww2. (Or Austria, since reunification).

Classic dictator who claims his country is the best of all somehow has most his family and kids living/getting education abroad in countries the regime classifies as “enemy nations”.

We may have “universal healthcare” in that ~~everyone~~ every legal resident following the law, the law saying you must purchase health insurance, is technically insured.

But we don’t have public insurance, it’s run by private companies at exorbitant prices with crazy premiums. And since we have such a large insurance /phara industry here, they are in the pockets of the government. Hell, the big insurance and big pharma companies even own shares in our national bank!

Switzerland has consistently had a center-right majority in govt since 20 years, so yeah this must be BS.

Though to be fair half of our center right majority would be equivalent to or even to the left of most democrats. Just so people in the US know how fucked their overton window is.
