The Swiss Next?

We wrote about long-neutral Sweden and Finland applying for NATO membership, and that being a near-tidalwave diplomatically. It hasn’t taken long for something to be rumored that, if it happened, would almost make their applications pale into insignificance.

There is a rumor on the wind that Switzerland, the quintessential nonaligned nation, is considering doing something similar. If not joining, doing the sort of NATO-coordinated military training that has for several years typified Sweden and Finland. At this point it is only a rumor, but it wasn’t long ago the actions of Sweden and Finland were rumors so … who knows?
