Yeah Switzerland is known as one of the countries that supposedly can't be invaded. Don't they have a program to blow bridges and shite if they're ever invaded? And a citizen militia?

Switzerland cannot defend itself against a full-scale attack and must boost military spending given rising risks from Russia, the head of its armed forces said.
Seriously? A country who is STRUGGLING with Ukraine, and has to go through about 6 NATO countries to get to Switzerland? Military Industrial Complex needs to eat!

I bet the Swiss can feel the looks of everyone chasing precious metals.

You didn't answer the question.
I imagine it's because you thought Switzerland was part of NATO. They are not.
They also aren't part of the EU. Just in case you want to make that mistake, too.

Pretty much. The Swiss contingency plan in case of evasion is to blow bridges, etc. and retreat into the mountains and valleys and fight guerilla style. Everyone there has a rifle and is trained.
It would be impossible to take and hold Switzerland so nobody even tries. Hitler didn't even bother.
Plus, they're neutral and open to do business with anybody. So why invade them?
We never saw their faces - they nuked us from orbit...

That use to be true but with modern warfare technology not really the case anymore. Traveled to Switzerland this past July; unbelievably beautiful.

Why should NATO or the USA expend a single drop of blood to protect Switzerland if they won't spend the money to protect themselves? I understand "strategic objectives" yaddy-yadda, but c'mon, 0.5% of GDP? The Swiss are piggybacking on every other countries' efforts.
It's actually a fortress nation with numerous bunkers some of which are gigantic. It can easily blow passes and tunnels entering its borders. Now against missile attack that is something is might be lacking.
Switzerland has been a partner of NATO, like Finland was before 2022

Napoleon conquered Switzerland so did Rome before that.

Countries without a significant military budget spend a shite load on social programs.
Posted on 12/28/25 at 8:26 pm to Tigergreg
Maybe our military budget is too large?

Now do Ukraine.

Why would I "do" something completely irrelevant to the discussion to permit you to create a diversion to avoid having to address your major blunder earlier?
Posted on 12/28/25 at 8:41 pm to HubbaBubba
Switzerland has never even fought in a war. They actually fund both sides usually! Lol
Posted on 12/28/25 at 8:43 pm to HubbaBubba
They will depend on the USA, as usual!

Why is Switzerland a member of NATO in the first place? There's not a single inch of their borders that touches the North Atlantic.

We both know it's relevant, and that you're a disingenuous hack. Good luck to you.

Yes, that is how you operate for sure. When/if Russia attacks Switzerland, and NATO draws us into it, you'll pretend you don't remember this thread.
