Good news!

Will Japan abandon its military neutrality and pacifism since 1945 like recently Sweden and Finland, which became NATO members?

The world order is changing quickly given the threats posed by the increasingly closer alliance between Russia and China.

Switzerland Sanctions Russia, Breaks Neutral Status

Bravo Switzerland! This is huge! This move by Switzerland is probably unprecedented in post 1945 history! 

Make the Kleptocrats in Russia pay! The end of Putin the Terrible's dictatorship is near!

"Switzerland's Federal Council said on Monday that it was adopting the EU's sanctions against Russia.
The package includes freezing Putin's personal assets, effective immediately.
Switzerland said it would close its airspace to Russian aircraft and bar people close to Putin from entering."

"... Für Russen ist die Schweiz ein wichtiger Finanzplatz. Laut Angaben der Nationalbank lagen 2021 auf hiesigen Konten russische Vermögenswerte im Wert von rund 15 Milliarden Franken. Auch Oligarchen wie der Putin-Vertraute Gennadi Timtschenko leben hier. ..."
According to the Swiss central bank there are CHF 15 billion of assets held by Russian oligarchs in Switzerland. One of Putin's confidants Gennadi Timtschenko lives in Switzerland.
