Defensively-speaking, isn't Ukraine almost the complete opposite of the Alps, terrain-wise?

Even so, having to fight every citizen would lead to unacceptable losses.

Russia would have to launch nukes as a first step.

Just read an article by Richard Maybury (June Early Warning Report) on some characteristics of Swiss model:
  1. Neutrality
  2. Militia - no fear of guns
  3. Every citizen is a potential sniper
  4. Swiss in other nations are potential snipers / assassins of high-level targets
The Swiss model is great for defense, but not offense.

This is hilarious! Not only are the points by posters above accurate — the the histories and cultures of Switzerland and Ukraine are WAY different.
