The Swiss went from being neutral in wars to being the new world police. Glad someone wants to keep the peace.

They went back to being world police
Which border?
A week after first deployment: Oops, looks like we're in a war now because we had to use weapons in self defense because Putin is a fuckhole.
Like who the fuck do they think they're kidding about how this would go?
Swiss army to be rolled over first during Russia's second invasion.
How the fuck do people fear the Russian army like this? Literally any western military force would be able to wipe out the entire invading force in Ukraine in a matter of weeks, if not days!
The only things preventing them from doing so is:
- risk of (albeit small) casualties
- risk of Russian retaliation through ICBMs (unlikely, but can’t be ruled out)
- opening up a nation to Russian-led cyberattacks
- a decisive decimation of Russian forces would be bad for Western arms manufacturers in the short-term
- a decisive decimation of Russian forces without the collapse of the Russian Federation or ousting of Putin will likely lead to a follow-on conflict in 10-20 years time
