“ Helps being surrounded by NATO. Wait shouldn’t Switzerland feel threatened by NATO expansion like Russia?”
****************************************************************************

Yes, it was easy for Switzerland to be neutral in WW1 and WW2 because it was “surrounded by NATO”. And here silly me thought that NATO was a post WW2 creation.

Thanks for the enlightenment, Neocon.

There is no question they were protected against absorption by post WWII Russia because of the NATO forces keeping Russia at bay after WWII, but do you think that Germany would have left them alone if WWII had gone their way and once Germany had consolidated their gains and refreshed themselves?

Do you think that Switzerland was not on the menu when the right time came?
