War seems like an unlikely possibility for Switzerland, they are surrounded by the European Union and every nuclear power depends on their free ports to store artworks.

- pinkmuffinere 11mo ago> every nuclear power depends on their free ports to store artworks Am I misunderstanding this? Why would artwork stop a war? If I’m fighting a war, I would not flinch at destroying eg the Mona Lisa, and I’m fairly certain heads of state wouldn’t either.

- pinkmuffinere 11mo agoSorry, I'm genuinely really trying to understand what you're saying here. Can you elaborate a bit? Are you asking if I personally am neutral? Are you meaning to say that your comment should have said "neutral power" instead of "nuclear power"? Are you trying to say something else? I just cannot understand this thread. Do you genuinely believe that art can stop war? how?
- ryan-ca 11mo agoYes, nations go to war against neutral banking nations all the time, but not without withdrawing their artwork first. /s I could elaborate the entire context of my past comments, but that wouldn’t be communicating, that would be writing a dictionary.
