For all its worth @Amun I do think that countries should stick to their own business and not meddle with internal affairs. Is Sisi a dictator? yes. Do i prefer democracy? Yes - but I disagree with the way we cut all ties with Egypt. Communication, business should always be open. Both great...
Neither does Switzerland, but you gotta be prepared. Also Swedish is at the Northern Flank of NATO, Finland is not because of Russian threats and next to Finland there's of course Russia.

This country had 26bln € of FDI a decade ago. Bulgaria is passing us in the very near future, because of...
Bratislava will instead get an investment of around 500m €. Officially because of the crisis, but inofficially the company was founded and ready to go end of last year. And the reason for that is: political instability, the missing rule of law and constant fights with the EU.
