Impartiality

I have a few friends in Switzerland. One of them recently commented on social media that Switzerland should not be pulling Russian products from supermarket shelves because Switzerland should be impartial.

Should it be totally impartial? Is this morally wrong in the face of what could amount to a genocide? This country has faced criticism in the past for allowing Nazi war criminals to hide money there and for not releasing Jewish money.

Opinions?

I think suggesting a poster may be new sounds as though there's a clique and they're not part of it. Seems rather unwelcoming. If they're new just let them jump in and make them welcome.

No, what I meant was the poster may be unaware of some of the history of Gransnet, not history in general.

Apologies, volver if you thought I meant you knew nothing about world history.

Switzerland said it has broken with tradition to join the EU to impose sanctions on Russia.

You'll be happy then *Callistemon".

How we feeling about the Spanish? And the Swedes?

You're quite a new poster, I think volver.

Sometimes having a knowledge of history is helpful

No, she isn’t Callistemon ?

Newish, as far as GN goes.
