  Switzerland has much more soft power than the US, due to Switzerland avoiding military entanglements.

      Green names posting inflammatory shit deserve to be flagged in the age of bots. At least build up some reputation before dropping hot takes. It’s not like this is Reddit where you’re stuck in a catch 22 of not participating in a lot of serious subreddits without a level of karma already, which can only be gained by engaging with the unserious bits.

And this is your argument? You’re funny.
