I wouldn't say they support the genocide. I mean one could say that every country that doesn't stop (if necessary by force) what's going on in Gaza is supporting it. In the first place the US could probably stop it but we also don't see much interest from the nations surrounding that place to do something. Lots of talk and the Palestinians get slaughtered. This shame will hang over all of us for a very long time.
Quite extraordinary (and justified) rant by Hungary's foreign minister about sanctions on Russia, calling out the immense hypocrisy that's going on around them, and asking for "rationality" given the sanction regime didn't achieve its goals and hurt the EU more than Russia.

Flat-earther appointed secretary of Argentina's Science Commission!
Lilia Lemoine ha defendido su postura terraplanista, pero esa no ha sido la única afronta a la ciencia de esta miembro del Gobierno de Argentina. Estos son algunos ejemplos.

Switzerland plans to introduce a flight
passenger database from 2026 to collect and process personal data in a bid to combat terrorism and serious crime. The government has sent a related bill to parliament.
The Swiss database will automatically compare flight passenger data with that from police information systems.
I think it's more on the national level to settle payments. Not so much for individuals.
As you might remember they already did something similar 12 years ago... They can't even come up with new ideas... 😬
And I think you're 100% right about the "preventing people weening off the power monopoly".
You're 100% right. Usually these measures, tariffs, sanctions etc. anyway kick you in your own "behind" sooner or later.
We have to stick with the economists who aren't on the payroll of the elites.
Biden imposed a series of tariffs on goods made in China:
25% on steel and aluminum
50% on semiconductors
100% on EVs
50% on solar panels
Biden (Godfather of Bidenomics) says: "China is determined to dominate these industries.
I'm determined to ensure America leads the world in them."
Reality today looks like this (global market share):
Steel: China 54% share vs US 4.3%
Aluminum: China 55% share vs US 1.5%
EVs: China 60% share vs US 8%
Solar panels: China 78% share vs US 2%
Semiconductors: China 7% share vs US 48%
Except in semiconductors, the US has about zero chance to "lead the world" in any of those industries given China already completely dominates them. And it's certainly not with tariffs that they'll catch up.

LAPD claims not to know who participated in the lynch mob that injured 30 pro-Palestine students at UCLA on April 30.
US puts tariffs on China and 'hopes' they don't react similarly.
That's the Arch way.
Arch terminology: KISS "Keep It Simple, Stupid"
When human beings are fearful, they abandon reason and conform to the in-group for security. The more absurd the lie they accept and repeat, the greater the display of loyalty:
- The UK cut itself off Russian energy and bragged it would collapse the Russian economy. The narrative had to be altered when the sanctions failed and European economies suffered instead. So we are now told it was Russia who cut energy supply. We are compelled to pretend the new narrative is based on reality
- Orwell wrote: "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command"
- Objective reality must have some value of its own, and not be traded away for convenient narratives supporting the war enthusiasm

How Switzerland let an alleged mastermind of the genocide in Rwanda slip away
You're right. Looks like they try to hide it or there is no data available. 😕
Here you can check if your pension is safe (only for EU/EFTA citizens). 😬😱
