N0body @lemmy.dbzer0.com Europe needs to see that unity is the way to go. A united Europe is needed to stand against the mad kings in Russia and the US.

Is that what you're saying?

Atherel @lemmy.dbzer0.com Switzerland has a positive balance of trade in goods and therefore appears on this list.
Ah that's why...
We have good arguments. And we have been doing exactly what President Trump wants for a long time.
Maybe it's time to fucking stop pleasing the orange cunt, he doesn't care!

ShittyBeatlesFCPres @lemmy.world Switzerland might really be one of the few countries no one can ever take over. Even if no one else cared — they will — sending troops running up a mountain where everyone has rifle skills and hidden bunkers is definitely not a military strategy I ever heard of.

Reason why the country is what it is, is because quite a few have tried an kinda stuck around.

6 0 ReplyShittyBeatlesFCPres @lemmy.world Switzerland enacted reforms years ago. I doubt they’d go after them when they can go after the Cayman Islands or Jersey or wherever. And I doubt they’d go after any rich person’s money. The Panama Papers were published years ago along with others and nothing happened.
