It’s an illegal war.

Throughout the ww2, both Axis and Allied planes violated Swiss airspace. The Swiss Air Force intercepted these planes, shooting down 11 Allied aircraft and killing 36 airmen. In retaliation or due to navigational errors, Allied forces bombed Swiss cities, most notably the accidental bombing of Schaffhausen by American planes on April 1, 1944, which killed 40 civilians.
I think Switzerland is done with wars and airspace clarification for others.

Kudos to Switzerland for standing up to Trump

There’s no financial payback for Switzerland.

Wonder if they will go full WW2 and shoot down any aircraft like they did with german and allied aircraft back then?

Easy to be hardline ‘neutral’ when you’re surrounded by peaceful nations and host the worlds sketchy finances….

I bet Trump doesn’t introduce banking tariffs on Switzerland.

They won’t refuse all the blood money flowing through their banks that will be made by war profiteers though will they.

Good. Denmark as well. FFS we don’t need more bullying in the world. Stand up to it

Ah, it’s time for Reddit’s daily circle jerk over the Swiss.
Never mind that they allowed the Nazis to keep their money there, and believed the Nazis and Allies were the same. So admirable.
It’s a country that’s run by and protects the richest assholes on the planet and somehow reddit is absolutely obsessed

I mean how many people do you need to kill with bombs before something ‘qualifies as a war’?

They should be this decisive over that AA ammos (which they still sitting their ass over).

That‘s so ridiculous.

I think that one interesting aspect of this is people making comments like “Well I hope they don’t expect the US to come save them” etc etc etc
But they never did and reality has shown exactly what the contemporary US does for it’s allies let alone nations that aren’t…

Allies stop being allies when you screw them over. Republicans have ruined our good standing with so many allies. Disgusting behavior from this administration

Great job Switzerland. There is a lot of hate for Switzerland on reddit. I guess people are jealous .

They need to be smarter about this. Do they think Trump really has the cognitive ability to determine an act of war from an act of preservation?

As should every country that is not a party to this invasion.

Well crypto isn’t gold is it. If Trump deposited gold in a swiss bank, they might look away.
