They have abolished that "gun control" mentioned in the article above recently. Swiss are not obliged anymore to have a weapon at home.

They also have abolished the huge fortress system that would have turned 1/3 of Switzerland into a freaking unconquerable alpine fortress guarded by heavy weaponed mountain bunker-barracks aiming at the incoming valleys with bomb proof artillery. The plans to evacuate the Swiss into this alpine fortress in case of attack and give up the cities outside are no more.

Switzerland reacted by that on the changing reality. It has only one neighbor anymore, the EU and there is no way, that this neighbor would invade, nor is there any sign that anyone else would invade the EU, and even less that the one would like to conquer Switzerland afterwards.


Last but not least, why has Switerland not been attacked in WWII? Because it was the bank for all sides. No one deliberately bombs his bank away. Not to forget that it was a mountainous bank as well, and everyone who saw the mountain war during WWI between Austria and Italy knows that this is hard fight with little reward.
