Also, America is harder to attack than Switzerland. They are surrounded by other nations and America has an ocean on either side and only 2 nations bordering ours. |
Oh they didn't bankroll, they just stored what the Nazis and Faciscts have stolen, and intend to keep the stuff after the Nazis died off, if it weren't for that pesky guard. I got it.

As I said, they remain neutral. There is no moral ambiguity or wrong in doing this. The reward is in never having to fight a war that you don't belong in....like Iraq.
Switzerland didn't judge the actions of other nations or get involved in their disputes. If someone brought money or art, or something valuable and wants to store it in their bank, they assumed it was gotten legitimately. If it wasn't, the blame is on the person who stole it, not the person who stored it. Also, banks in America do the same thing. If you die, and nobody comes forward to collect your money, after a certain period of time, the bank gets to keep it. I highly doubt banks leave accounts open that have had no activity for 50 years. |
No officer I didn't think anything was wrong with letting some random guy hide a stolen Ferrari in my garage so no one would know. Honest! I didn't steal it, i just helped the guy who did! I'm neutral!

That sure placated the Jews. No, it didn't. They sued for their forebears' things.

You can't imagine a war where a nation had to cross an ocean to attack and was successful? Cause that's half of them recently, starting with WW2. You can't imagine asymmetric warfare being an issue? From what I can tell, Switzerland wasn't attacked because A) its only strategy was defense, which was made possible by geography (a limited number of passable chokepoints) and the enlistment of 20% of its population into the army; B) its economic concessions to Germany (why concentrate on taking it when it's giving you all you need anyway?), and C) its basic aversion to nazism and distrust of the Germans made it a harder pill to swallow. Hitler would have gotten back to Switzerland. He just moved it down the list and then his list got tore up before he could finish it. |

ME: "Yes officer, that person stored a Ferrari in my garage. He paid to store it there." COP: "Didn't you think it might be stolen?" ME: "I didn't ask. That's none of my business. If he stole it, he is the one who must deal with the authorities, not me." |

Sir, these gentlemen are telling me that they did see a sign on your garage that said "Stolen Ferrari Storage" ...

Nice.
That's the only scene in any movie where I'm not completely disgusted by Quentin Tarantino's acting. Still one of my favorite films of all time. |
Me too, Radar.

Their biggest defense is their foreign policy. |

If what's not true? Do you think that my narrative is that the Swiss are so good that nothing bad will ever happen to them?
Nothing can prevent all terrorism, but foreign policy is much more important than mountains and military size. |

So Switzerland is getting it from both Muslims and Jews. I almost feel sorry for them. Not.
