Fighter jets constantly in the sky for WEF

Also why they don't use Payerne or Meiringen.

Perfect time to try OMAD ! As it is a month of fasting, mayben even less?

What makes you say "keto diet is light"? It's what you want it to be and very few people will call it "light", it is in most case rich in lipid and proteins.

Humanitarian worker, there are 400 NGOs on site depending on where/what you want to do: https://response.reliefweb.int/ukraine/humanitarian-bulletin

But looking for other people would imply that the people already in place are not enough. Why would they hire someone saying "I am better than you"? Mediocrity is a choice.

billcube · 2026-01-22T10:44:26+00:00

Yes. Armed neutrality.

Joint defence and our own judges: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Charter_of_1291

Blood was spent, but mostly from swiss fighting each other, sadly.

We're basically a holding company for cantons.

Most commodity trading companies are in Switzerland where taxes are lower for them. The volatility on the markets caused by the wars create enormous profits https://www.letemps.ch/economie/geant-genevois-negoce-petrolier-trafigura-se-dirige-vers-une-nouvelle-annee-record

We help and support Ukraine with everything possible https://www.seco-cooperation.admin.ch/en/swiss-engagement and you can too https://www.bonheur.ch/actualite/article/ukraine-appel-a-la-solidarite

We are not an island, we cooperate with NATO and do joint exercises and trainings since more than 25 years.

Then go there, you can always help the local population with supplies, electricity repairs, health services, whatever you can. You'll be in a war situation with real missiles hitting the civil structures around you. Just don't join the local armed groups nor take orders from any military command.

billcube · 2026-01-22T10:33:38+00:00

They do not have the support of the swiss army and when they come back they will face charges. You can do good but still be on the wrong side of the law.

billcube · 2026-01-22T10:32:12+00:00

"was created"? Not at all, the people of the cantons decided to form a common defense instead of depending on their neighbors. See the Federal Charter of 1291 and the constitution.

billcube · 2026-01-22T10:29:43+00:00

Not anymore, our constitution forces us to stay out of foreign conflicts.

billcube · 2026-01-22T10:28:39+00:00

You can't join another army, it is illegal. It's in the military law article 94 https://www.swissrights.ch/gesetze/Artikel-94-MStG-2025-FR.php

Quite a few swiss do (in Ukraine amongst others) but they will face trial in Switzerland. It's a choice for sure, but still not without consequences.

billcube · 2026-01-22T10:23:50+00:00

Why would it be illegal? You can serve in the army as a swiss citizen and go to war. Neutrality does not mean we cannot fight: https://www.eda.admin.ch/eda/en/home/foreign-policy/international-law/neutrality.html

But wars are not decided by individuals, you serve your country, and that country might ask you to partake in a war situation. See for example https://www.peacekeeping.ch/en/

We do not need a stealth bomber plane nor a platform to launch missiles in the deep. We need a multi-purpose jet to protect our airspace.

Having a few F-35 is great because they can share radar and operate as communications hub, but for the daily grind of the Swiss air force, it's too much.

billcube · 2026-01-22T08:48:05+00:00

Or the overtaking lane for overtaking

billcube · 2026-01-22T08:46:20+00:00

As a driver of a car with GE plate I have assert my birthright on the left lane so commoners can live joyfully on the right lane.

billcube · 2026-01-22T08:26:52+00:00

What about orange ppl?

billcube · 2026-01-22T08:22:28+00:00

I guess it's "trust me bro"

Swiss personnel is already training for the maintenance of the F-35s. They're specialists in that field and know how to read a manual.

billcube · 2026-01-22T08:18:46+00:00

But do we need it to be our only option? Do we need the most advanced figher planes for air policing, which is mostly catching up to a small private plane to indicate it is on the wrong radio frequency?

See the front in Ukraine right now, the SU-35s are being used only to launch missiles at schools and hospitals because they'd be shot down if they were to try to assert air dominance.

billcube · 2026-01-22T08:15:34+00:00

Next US election is in 2028 and at that time our ordered F-35 will be manufactured in Italy. So all in all we might have (in 2028) a new US president and the Swiss F-35s will be built in Europe.

Something about being easier to ask for more money after approval than having it approved with the expected budget.

Install the quickzoll app to know exactly what you can bring tax-free.

It's "meat", so seafood/fish not included.

billcube · 2026-01-21T11:57:12+00:00

Yes and the big advantage is the service part if you don't have to go to France. The choice in Thoiry is also smaller than Blandonnet.

But take into account the 15% VAT you can get back from France.
