Switzerland is just Europe's "pussies" who aren't armed with nuclear weapons and don't have a badass carrier group circling the globe "projecting power" and letting everyone know that if they make a wrong move they'll get their asses kicked.

Note: the fact that the world's private Capitalist entrepreneurs have trusted the Swiss with supervision of one-third of the entire planet's liquid monetary assets is mere coincidence.

The Swiss just got lucky. The idea the Private Capitalists trust and respect the Swiss policy of Non-Interventionism is clearly balderdash.

Besides, the Swiss would've been successful anyway. If they had not earned the Trust of the world's productive entrepreneurs by a 500-year policy of Non-Interventionism, they would have still become a World Financial Powerhouse by exploiting their "natural resources", like rocks and snow and goat-crap and stuff.

Non-Interventionism has not uniquely benefitted the Swiss.
Non-Interventionism cannot have uniquely benefitted the Swiss.

The very idea is Heresy.

"If they had not earned the Trust of the world"

I don't trust them. They stole the gold.
