UBS. A BIG GIANT IN SWISS BANKING INDUSTRY "AFTER SHOTGUN WEDDING WITH CS." IS NOT SAFE SAYS TOBIAS STARAUMANN.

Well known Economic Historian prediction is not solely about UBS. but because of notorious inability of supervisory Authority ( FINMA AND SNB.) he conclude that a major banking crisis in Switzerland is likely in Ten or 15 years.

1. GLOBALIZATION RESULTS IN CAPITAL MOBILITY HENCE MORE BANKING CRISIS.

2. WHETHER THE GOVT AND AUTHORITIES IMPLEMENT A REGULATORY FRAMEWORK THAT CAN AVOIDED A SITUATION THAT LED TO CS. DEMISE?

a)
Straumann said measures to reduce high-risk transactions by large banks have been demanded by the federal government for 25 years.

THAN WHY SUCH DEMAND COMES TO NOTHING, IS DEFINITELY A CRUCIAL QUESTION.

Economists Armin Jans, Christoph Lengwiler, Marco Passardi wrote in their Analysis,

"Crisis-resistant Swiss banks?
The regulation of own funds, liquidity and "too big to fail"
that despite all the preparations, the liquidation of a major bank will remain an adventure.

FINANCIAL FIRE DEPARTMENT

Tobias straumann compares avoiding a banking crisis to fighting fire.

In addition to building regulations and building insurance, what is needed above all is a financial fire department that intervenes during a liquidity crisis or bank run. It can set limits for capital withdrawals, extend collateral for clients, or impose stricter regulations.

c)
CURING IS NOT CURING BUT A PROBLEM.
FINMA. ( SWISS FINANCIAL MARKET SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY) AS A PROBLEM FOR SWISS FINANCIAL INDUSTRY AND FOR SWITZERLAND.
Finews.asia's Claude Baumann writes:
"In the aftermath of Credit Suisse, international rating agencies see Finma as a problem for the Swiss financial industry and for Switzerland."

d)
FINMA'S COMPETENCY AND SNB. AUTHORITY.
Mr. Claude Baumann concluded:
"Calls to build up more competence at Finma and increase the SNB's willingness to place its authority increasingly in the service of the supervisory authority might seem a stretch but shouldn't be dismissed out of hand."

Starving Gaza: How Silence Is Enabling a Genocide in Real Time

Gaza: Starving a Nation in Broad Daylight — and the World Must Act Now Seven weeks. Zero aid. Two million lives on the brink. Gaza is not just suffering — it is being starved. Deliberately. In full view of the world, an entire population is being pushed into famine, death, and despair. No humanitarian aid or commercial supplies have entered Gaza for over seven agonizing weeks. This is now the longest closure the Gaza Strip has ever faced — a man-made catastrophe unfolding before our eyes. The evidence is clear and horrifying: All 25 WFP-supported bakeries in Gaza have been forced to shut down. No wheat. No fuel. No bread. WFP food parcels — intended to last two weeks — have been completely exhausted. Safe drinking water has run dry , leaving families to scavenge scraps to burn just to cook a basic meal. Food prices have exploded by up to 1,400%. Hospitals are collapsing without medicine, electricity, or clean water . And yet, just beyond Gaza’s sealed borders, h...

When the President Sounds the Alarm, But the Government Looks Away.

A President's Moral Warning Israeli presidents traditionally avoid political confrontation. Their role is largely ceremonial and symbolic, intended to unify rather than divide. Yet Herzog chose to speak openly about something many observers have documented for years: the erosion of moral restraints. His language was unusually severe. Warning of what he called " a terrible process of brutalization " within Israeli society, Herzog lamented that " there are segments among us that are barely shocked by violence anymore " while " certain other segments treat it lightly." Perhaps most alarming was his warning that extremist conduct is no longer confined to society's fringes. Such behavior, he said, is " threatening to enter the mainstream ." The significance of the speech lies not merely in what was said, but in who said it. When a country's ceremonial head of state feels compelled to warn that brutality is becoming normalized, the ...

When the World Gives Permission: From Gaza’s Rubble to the West Bank’s Maps

There are moments when history does not announce itself with explosions—but with paperwork. On paper, Israel’s approval of 19 new settlements in the occupied West Bank is framed as an administrative decision. In reality, it is a cartographic act of violence: borders redrawn without consent, futures erased without headlines, and international law treated as background noise. This is not an isolated policy choice. It is the logical continuation of a world that watched Gaza burn—and learned nothing. A Timeline of Forewarning, Ignored December 11, 2025 Israel’s security cabinet quietly approves 19 new Jewish settlements across the occupied West Bank . The decision remains largely under wraps. December 20–24, 2025 The news becomes public. Fourteen countries—including the UK, France, Germany, Canada, and Japan—issue a joint appeal urging Israel to reverse the decisio n, warning it violates international law and undermines any remaining possibility of a two-state solution.

"D efense for Children International Palestine (DCIP) released this month a comprehensive and heartbreaking report, OPERATION PROTECTIVE EDGE: A WAR WAGED ON GAZA’S CHILDREN . detailing, that places that should have provided children with shelter and safety were not immune from attacks by Israeli forces. Missiles fired from Israeli drones and warplanes, artillery shelling, and shrapnel scattered by explosions killed children in their homes, on the street as they fled from attacks with their families, and as they sought shelter from the bombardment in schools. (DCIP) The lives of Palestine’s children should be better protected since 24 December 2014, when he Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) became binding in international law requiring states to end the transfer of arms that would be used in war crimes and genocide: Article 6: 3. A State Party shall not authorize any transfer of conventional arms covered under Article 2 (1) or of items covered under Article 3 or Article 4, if it h...
