#Switzerland and its institutions are, at this point, little more than a proxy for #Russian financial interests.
It's clear that what "#Swiss #neutrality" really means is that Switzerland can sell weapons to people who commit #genocide and then store their #stolen goods in Swiss #banks.
They did it with the #Nazis and clearly they're happy to do it again!

Most importantly, if EIA IEO and IEA WEO projections are used to guide policy making, #China needs more aggressive policies in order to achieve the #carbon #neutrality goal

The media is supposed to be objective, not neutral or centrist.

Objective: “They sky is blue. This is both the consensus of relevant scientists and something anyone can see for themselves by looking out the window. In fact, I just looked right now, and it was blue. Go look if you’re skeptical.”

Neutrality is: “Some people say that the sky is blue, others say that it’s on fire, and still others say it’s satanic. This reporter remains dutifully neutral and refuses to look out the window. Instead, we’ll simply say that the condition of the sky is controversial and disputed.”

Centrism is: “The far left says the sky is burning due to global warming. The far right says the sky is satanic due to gays and transsexuals. In the interest of centrism, we conclude that the sky is burning with satanic fires. We’re going to ignore the fact that the sky is blue.”

@steve It's #LyingWithNumbers because one can literally buy "#CO2 #Neutrality" with products.

The product didn't get more envoirmentally, but one can just literally buy an Indulgence instead.

My favourite part about the #Austria article in the Financial Times is its explanation for why #Nehammer sabotages any attempt to change the law and make #espionage against ALLIES illegal.

As a reminder, Austria is part of a group of #frugals that will not hesitate to lecture Southern #Europe about good governance. 🤡

Very clear that the #ConsultativeForum - neither consultative nor a forum - was a pantomime of public consultation all along. The government does not care what the public actually thinks and had made all its decisions already. The creep is on. #neutrality

The problem with freedom is that it is not free: it costs lives. #freedom #SlavaUkraini #Neutrality

Important article on how NATO uses disinformation and propaganda to interfere in democracy and shape narratives in its favour.
Especially relevant to establishment disinformation around #neutrality from the government's sham "Consultative Forum."

I find the argument that joining the #ESSI European Sky Shield Initiative in any way impedes a country’s #neutrality extremely unconvincing. And the expert interview in the podcast is a case in point - it mainly sound as if there is a misunderstanding as to what ESSI actually is.

To be neutral does not mean to be a moral relativist. It means you retain your sovereignty when it comes to matters of security, of war and peace.
Great speech by @yanisvaroufakis at our Dublin event on June 24 in defence of Irish #neutrality.

On Friday, it is expected that #Austria will sign the declaration of intent to join the Germany-initiated “European Sky Shield” (ESSI£. Fascinating that there are voices in Austria arguing this goes against #neutrality. (The ESSI is a joint procurement initiative, nothing more).

The amazing @Lowkey0nline - "Irish officials are part of the meetings of Ukrainian Defence Contact Group which was set up by US Defence Sec Lloyd Austin to coordinate Military aid to Ukraine - Austin was a former Director of #Raytheon who are making a fortune from the War"... https://n.respublicae.eu/ClareDalyMEP/status/1675831921694187521

👏It's not backward.
👏It's not isolationist.
👏It's not embarrassing.
#Neutrality is the most progressive form of internationalism that you can have.
