"Switzerland cannot intervene because its airbases are closed at night and on the weekend," he said, adding: "It's a question of budget and staffing."

Waiting for “Hitler finds out he could have taken Switzerland over the weekend.”

Anyone really belive this? I mean, really?

As far as I’m concerned, this is literally an announcement that Switzerland has technology that no longer requires intercepter fighter jets to keep them safe.

And if they have it, everyone has it - including the US, of course.

And if you believe that’s too over the top Star Wars, then you just go back to your regular programming and let yourself believe all those international banks and bankers were actually totally unprotected, know they are unprotected, and are just fine with that.

This whole scrambling jets thing is largely a farce anyway.

shrewd of the SAF to save on fuel and wear on their airframes by letting the French and Italian AF escort them in.

also, if the worst comes to pass and a 9-11 scene unfolds,
the Swiss can disassociate themselves from the incident.

Interesting....if I were a member of a certain pseudo religion in a certain country run by rabies infested
mullahs I might, once I gained access to nuclear devices
decide that I did not need an ICBM or other high tech
delivery device to eliminate Zurich and other infidel
money grubbing cities in Switzerland. I’d just fly a
plane there after hours, enjoy the neutered not allowed
to shoot me down escort and detonate the device once I
landed at the airport.
