    Rewarding the US with a billion dollar purchase after they’ve slapped you with a 35% tariff while Switzerland has none on US goods would be the ultimative Cuck move

    This is just so hilarious and sad at the same time. For some context, the Swiss military had (after a lengthy and expensive process) selected the Gripen to replace its fleet of aging F18s. That decision was then overturned by the Swiss voters via a referendum, causing the whole process to restart and finally, years later, selecting the F35… and now we are back at square one I guess.

    I desperately want to move to Switzerland, alas I can’t afford a place I’d be happy with.

      Also they don’t let you become a citizen easily, there’s a vote and stuff

        They are also extremely racist. Honestly even if I had the money I would not want you move to Switzerland

          Not a 100% sure but there are some city level politics to consider when becoming a full citizen.

          It also varies by canton or something. Complicated stuff
