    I’ve heard that the Swiss tourism industry is suffering from climate change and a lot of the small mountain towns are dying as people leave. I wonder if that’s going to lead them to break with the EU over the latter’s xenophobia and anti-immigration policies.

    That or the Swiss government suspects that North Korea recently came into a bunch of money and wants the banking business.

      If I did a crypto heist, I would probably try to deflect blame towards DPRK, since they can’t defend themselves in western media. But anything is possible.

      My guess is the Swiss (read: their corruptors) have some espionage ambitions.

    KJU attended the International School of Berne in Switzerland growing up before he went to Kim Ill Sung university (top 1 university in the country). It could be a trend of European countries re-normalizing relations with the DPRK but that’s just conjecture.
