Anything of interest going on near Taiwan?
Goodness. Is there any western democracy not yet on board? How about Latin America? We know Brazil's leader is a fan of Putin.Another political development...Switzerland has decided to adopt all the EU sanctions against Russia. This tidbit from the BBC:
Wow!Another political development...Switzerland has decided to adopt all the EU sanctions against Russia. This tidbit from the BBC:
After some soul-searching, neutral Switzerland will adopt all EU sanctions against Russia.
There will be no exceptions: five oligarchs have already been banned from entering Switzerland, the bank accounts of all 336 people on the EU's list, including Vladimir Putin and Sergei Lavrov, will be frozen with immediate effect.
Swiss banks are believed to hold billions of dollars in Russian funds.
The country's air space is closed to Russian aircraft, while Swiss airlines have cancelled their flights to Russia.
Make no mistake, this is a huge step for Switzerland, which has often agonised over what being neutral actually means.
Today Swiss President Ignazio Cassis made it clear: the attack on Ukraine was an unacceptable attack on freedom and democracy, "playing into the hands of aggression is not neutral", neither is standing by while the Geneva Conventions, which Switzerland is home to, are "trampled underfoot".
