> Who are you to say otherwise, should they pursue policies that go against their interests to satisfy foreigners?

One should be able to criticize policies that directly affect them, for example those on climate change, whose effects go well beyond a country's borders.



When they're responsible for not even 0.1% of global emissions you're best served targeting the countries who are the most responsible.


Which is why finger pointing works so well towards achieving... nothing, ever. Unless you're able to set an example, calling for others to act is pointless. So the countries most responsible can sit and do nothing now because they will claim "not even the Swiss want a clean planet"
