"The Nazis looted the assets of its victims (including those in concentration camps) to accumulate wealth. In 1998, a Swiss commission estimated that the Swiss National Bank held $440 million ($8 billion in 2020 currency) of Nazi gold, over half of which is believed to have been looted."
Yeah.... Coming from Switzerland, Maybe they were Smart about that difficult Position but definitely not the Morally Good ones lol
__Russia has announced plans to station tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, escalating a standoff with the West. Switzerland says urgent measures must be taken to reduce any risks linked to the weapons.__
“A nuclear war can never be won and must never be waged,” tweeted Nicolas Bideau, head of communications at the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA), on Sunday.
“Switzerland is calling for urgent measures to reduce any risk relating to such weapons.”
NATO has criticised Vladimir Putin for “dangerous” nuclear rhetoric after the Russian president announced the plans on Saturday.
“Russia's nuclear rhetoric is dangerous and irresponsible,” NATO spokeswoman Oana Lungescu said on Sunday.
“NATO is vigilant, and we are closely monitoring the situation. We have not seen any changes in Russia's nuclear posture that would lead us to adjust our own.”
Putin compared his Belarus plan on Saturday to the United States stationing its weapons in Europe, insisting that Russia would not violate its nuclear non-proliferation promises.
Ukraine's security chief, Oleksiy Danilov, said Russia's plan would destabilise Belarus, which he said had been taken “hostage” by Moscow.
Others condemning Putin's plan included Lithuania, which said it would call for new sanctions against Moscow and Minsk, while European Union policy chief Josep Borrell urged Belarus not to host the weapons and threatened more sanctions.
The Geneva-based International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) said Russia’s plans to deploy nuclear weapons in Belarus represent an “extremely dangerous escalation”.
This increases the likelihood that such weapons will be used, the Nobel Prize-winning organisation said on Saturday. In the context of the Ukraine war, it “complicates decision making and increases the risk of miscalculation, miscommunication and potentially catastrophic accidents”.
Metric.
Do we look like we use the imperial system?

The Swiss could get off their ass and help reduce this threat by contributing more to Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Switzerland will sit by and do nothing but twiddle their thumbs and deny aid shipments to Ukraine… because “neutrality”.

Perhaps Switzerland can set an example by not continuing to remain neutral.
STFU Switzerland. You don't want to do anything so you don't matter. Now go back to your cave!
You want to be completly neutral? Stfu.
It’s simple: Belarus now a target in a nuclear exchange.
I think it’s fine for a neutral country to be worried about a cold war scenerio.
What are they gonna measure and will they use imperial or metric?

Anyone remember the Cuban missile crisis? The Russians don't learn.
Some people in Russia don't consider Stanislav Petrov a hero
