Russia

This is pretty major, because Switzerland is SO committed to neutrality. They remained neutral during both World Wars.

Exacerangutan : Concerning the "doped up" comment, I've gotten the sense that the English-speaking press generally feels a need to speak strongly against disinformation and its sources lately, out of a sense that having treated it as a valid "side" in coverage for years might be partially responsible for how wrong things have gone.

Pteryx : hrmn... maybe? the phrasing strikes me as a little weirdly judgmental toward Russians, given the implied analogy. it could be intended to indicate the presence of bias and misinformation in RT, but it reads more like an ad hominem than a criticism of RT's content.

I linked the article because I liked the wider analysis of Putin’s actions but yeah - it is an analysis piece and not hard journalism, and shouldn’t be treated as such.
