Just as big

Please Jochen... If Iraq had nuclear capability and invaded Kuwait or Saudi Arabia - France and Germany would take a pass. As would, most likely, the rest of the world (including the US).

Yet becoming a Switzerland was always ruled out, by any chancellor from Adenauer to Schroeder.

I always wondered why East and West Germany did not declare neutrality and expel all of those Soviet and Nato troops for those 4 decades after WW2.

ps: Quick, someone call the Dalai Lama! We've solved the whole Tibetan occupation issue right here on FADG... Announce that you're becoming a Switzerland and tell the Chinese troops they have to leave.
