Switzerland is always happy to launder and store money for any despot or pariah state. That is not neutral.

Austria’s companies made (and still make) good money with Russian oligarchs. Anything but neutral.

It’s a made up concept to have some sort of argument for the newspapers and common ground between diplomatic talks.

Could be honest… but I never hear him “talking sense” into US Americans. It’s always Europe that should fall in line. Maybe I just missed it?
