    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.

      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
