What makes them better vassal states than any of the EU/NATO and the rest of the democratic™ first world countries? They were/are just doing what Uncle Sam says because "You're with us or you're against us."
I'd say they deserve the "best hypocrite" award.

- vmception 6y agoI understand what you are saying, but if you really want to know I can draw a distinction. So Leichtenstein is not in NATO, or the EU, while being geographically surrounded and it uses this flexibility opportunistically. It functions more-so as a vassal state of Switzerland, as it is not Switzerland either nor bound by its constitution or direct democracy, while using its currency directly via the Swiss Central Bank instead of the Euro. Leichtenstein lawyers arranged for the purchase and management of Crypto AG shares, this is no accident, and the entrepreneurs in Leichtenstein (the lawyers and many other services providers there) are willing participants in this geopolitical financial game. Zug is nice because of the general optimization towards science and technologies. Cantons in Switzerland enjoy a high degree of autonomy and decision making while being relatively sparsly unpopulated. So getting something approved really means the agreement of the 2 people acting as regulator in a town of 100,000 people, and inheriting the brand and sovereignty of Switzerland. It is great for business, practically unparalleled.
- sm4rk0 6y agoThanks for the explanation. That shed a different light on those two vassal "states".
