should the eu invade switzerland

Nehaxak

No way, keep Switzerland out of the EU. Get cheap flights every few months to Switzlerland and buy a couple of thousand smokes @ 22 euro per 200 on the flight itself. Don't even have to stay over for a night, can do it all in a day trip as the flights are so short.

Quite possibly the stupidest thing I've read in a while and another reason to make me glad I don't live in your poxy country. Switzerland have among the lowest amount of gun related crime in the world. Now I suggest you stop trying to stir up stupid conspiracies on an Irish forum where people tend to have an IQ higher then the temperature of the room they're sitting in and get to school and learn some English so you can write a more coherent post.

Probably an easy conquest too. They would just roll over.

Oh, well I stand corrected. Still though, the entire EU vs. Switzerland? I'd have to go with the continent.

They are bad because they must be destroyed.

why do you think hitler never thought of that when he was steamrolling across europe :rolleyes:

Dunno, I read somewhere that the Swiss are regarded as Ueber-Germans by the Germans themselves. I'm German myself and there might be some truth in that.

Do we not already have them surrounded and able to lay siege? Just close the airspace, shut a few mountain tunnels and they will soon have to surrender and we'll have all the pointy chocolate and novelty clocks that we could ever need.

Get over it Overheal. You're just going to have to accept that Americans are the baddies for a while. The Germans and the Russians have put in their time. Now it's your turn.

Don't forget the British, the Japanese, etc.

Didn't Switzerland invade Lichtenstein recently?

THEY MUST PAY! And god dammit not in chocolate this time...

I also like the sound of "Lake Switzerland", just thought I'd float that idea out there...

Dont be at yourself

Have you ever been there? (i type slow and didnt see snypers post, i now look stoopid)

Theyre all considered soldiers until they're 30, which mean they're take home gun is fully automatic. And its only semi once they're over thirty.

Theres lots of mountains. Pretty, but not good for fighting in.

Been there a few times, its quite worrying to see lads walking around calm as a breeze with an assualt rifle, buying chocolate with nazi gold.

Invading Switzerland could also prove to be a major Financial Blunder for the rest of Europe.

China may still be considered second world..(communist with a (very)small C)
if not then North Korea is certainly top of the list of second world countries left on earth.

Anyone want a bag of North Korean straw..

Hitler and Mussolini did not invade Switzerland instead they attacked Russia.
Just like Napeoleon before.
And the king of Sweden before them too
And lots of wars in central europe from long before the american colonies were setup the same story

Does this sound a little suspicious to anyone ?
Or maybe it's because it's got no natural resources and the mountains make it a natural fortress. The rain means they are self sufficient in food and hydroelectricity and they don't need oil because of the public transport systems so there is bugger all use in trying to starve them out or putting them under siege.

You may as well ask the EU ( excluding the UK ) to invade the US, we all know it isn't going to happen because the US spends more on defence than the rest of the world (excluding the UK ) put together. However, different to invading switzerland we would do have a lot of bones to pick with the US ,re oil being priced in dollars, them screwing up the environment, brain drain and patent theft but really for screwing up the middle east and war mongering and generally making the world a less pleseant place for us.
