Contrary to what the most stereotypical look-those-nice-shiny-shoes-at-my-feet Swiss may think, neutral does not mean inactive.
- cormacrelf 7y agoActually, there is a ton of effort that goes into being neutral in a military sense. I don’t just mean the usual “Switzerland trains all their citizens and has bridges rigged to blow”. If another belligerent tries to use your territory, to maintain the benefits of neutrality you have to drive them off, lest you be seen as tacitly supporting that belligerent.
