Et tu, Switzerland?
Yes, even they are done with Putin’s insanity.
For the first time in a long time, Switzerland has picked a side. They have now decided that the latest madman to invade Europe is one too many.
This from CNN . . .
The Swiss government will adopt EU sanctions imposed following the invasion of Ukraine and immediately freeze any assets belonging to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, it said in a statement Monday.
This is huge.
The Swiss have a famous history of staying the fuck out of the world’s affairs. Staying out of everything but our money of course. It has always been a bastion of the dirtiest and oldest money.
New money is just as good though.
When the soviet union collapsed it gleefully accepted the accounts of billions of rubles from the newly forming Russian oligarchy. This is the oligarchy that made Putin and has continued to keep him in power for the last twenty years.
Today the Swiss said fuck you to the oligarchs.
This will be the end of Putin ultimately.
Like Trump, he has a boss and that boss is his money. Money is power. How he gets to his money and how liquid he can stay…
