Nuetrality is nice - Blessed are the peacemakers. BUT, they need to defend their nuetrality. Liberals want us to believe that one simply needs to “do good” and stop mucking-around in other nations’ affairs will keep a nationa safe. WRONG. There have been predatory nations and empires since the start of time who do not respect a nations’ “good deeds” or neutrality. Nuetrality and non-interference did not protect the Tibetans in 1951, the Laotians in the 1960’s, the Finns and Belgians in both World Wars, The Lebanese now, etc, etc... The Swiss are actively nuetral, but nearly every young man in the country takes some military training, and belongs to a unit to which he will be called in emergency.

When Hitler threatened to invade Switzerland with twice as many soldiers as the Swiss had in their army, they replied that they would have to shoot twice. Hitler understood the Swiss marksman were not going to allow him to invade.
