I don't understand what is significant about this.
Classic dictator who claims his country is the best of all somehow has most his family and kids living/getting education abroad in countries the regime classifies as “enemy nations”.
Does Russia classify Switzerland as an enemy nation despite its famous neutral stance?
Ever since we put sanctions yes. And just like Austria, although “neutral” we were far more aligned and integrated with the west since the end of ww2. (Or Austria, since reunification).
Well then I really don't understand the significance since the child was born long before sanctions.
Has your account been hacked?
I too have wondered about a recent disturbance in the Squid.
No. Reports of my omniscience are greatly exaggerated.
to be fair russia only released that list after the invasion of ukraine. So we don’t know if switzerland was in it before.
Anyways, I find this news interesting, and given a couple people have upvoted, I’m a couple others do too, that’s enough for me, I’m not going to force you to find it interesting.
Okay, you're welcome to find an insignificant thing interesting. My question was about its significance. The answer is that it has none.
Significance isn’t that straightforward. Something can have lots of significance to one person and none to another.
Or lots of significance in relation to an event or ideology, or movement, but none to another.
Isn't this the son that nobody even knew existed until a week ago?
