The seven-member executive council that constitutes the federal government of the Swiss Confederation made the decision to adopt the EU sanctions against Russia – March 1, 2022,
Because most people have no interest in understanding the Swiss government, you’ll often read ignorant statements from Left and Right-wing news outlets, trying to push their own opinions on what they think the Swiss Confederation should do. The ignorance of the CNN post below is why people hate CNN. It’s not about Switzerland being neutral it’s that they have a far better democratic process than the United States.
A President of the United States can start a war for any reason they deem fit, Barack Obama as an example was using drone strikes, without approval. Hilary Clinton as Secretary of State started a war that has resulted in slavery in Libya without asking the American people what they want. The Swiss Confederation doesn’t operate like that.

Anyway, what Putin is doing is beyond evil, it makes no sense, I comprehend that NATO is growing, but instead of waging a war against NATO, Putin wages war against Ukraine? Putin Knows where NATO is, he can surround NATO or wage war against NATO anytime he wants, instead Putin attacks Ukraine? It’s very sad what Putin is doing and I’m not saying the Russian people are doing this, because Putin didn’t have a democratic process to ask the people of the Russian Federation if they want to start a war with Ukraine, instead Putin made the decision on his own that now is the time to strike Ukraine.
Putin decided to attack Ukraine because Joe Biden looks weak, but if Joe Biden looks weak, why didn’t Putin turn his war machines on NATO? If Putin could show how much stronger Russia is than NATO, maybe Ukraine would have volunteered itself to Russia. This is very sad, war is sad and a war against a country that can barely defend itself is horrible. My prayers to the people of Ukraine, you don’t deserve this. Please continue to fight for your homeland! The people of the world are on your side.
Interesting times ahead!
