Y'all sure do want to minimize this. But you'd probably find something to whine about even if the orange were here overshadowing it.

Facts are facts. The international media just don't regard it as a priority, which just shows the insularity of the local media who have been promoting this conference heavily. Of course, the international media are right because it's just an expensive talk shop where nothing of significance is decided.

Lol. Do you have ANY understanding of geopolitics? The US, for now, is the world's sole superpower and the world's largest economy. It has a lot of influence on world affairs, unlike 99% of countries. Certainly amongst Western countries, it is the leader with no obvious competitor.

You don't seem able to distinguish between wishful thinking and reality.

The will for change and a more equitable world order has existed for the longest time, the only difference is that now the means to do so is increasingly becoming a reality.

Btw, I have nothing against power and influence....only the abuse or negative application of it.

Even die hards like yourself will surely admit that the west,under US influence, has pursued extremely unsustainable global policies and currently have no idea how to fix the mess they've created for themselves and for everyone else.The best they seem able to do is to switch to conservatism with no end game in sight or in mind. They have no plan!!

Change is coming, for no other reason than to correct the imbalances created by them. This is how absolutely everything works dear Sir !!!

It's the biggest show in town. Why shouldn't the local media fixate on that? Local media hardly cover the war in Ukraine, it is of very little interest here. European media would cover the war more extensively and Trump once again giving in to Russia is big news for Europe and most of the western media. Totally understandable

You are being very selective as per usual. The SRF ran a daily poll tracker up until the day of the election and were fairly accurate for all the big parties.
