So you have no ref.
No ref to me being a poof.
No ref that Ukraine needs 'liberation'.
Just Putin's lies.

Yes, I thought so. Nothing.

"Switzerland abandons neutrality

Switzerland is set to join the European Sky Shield Initiative, a project aimed at creating a shared missile defense system for Europe, as announced by the Swiss government on Friday.

This initiative began after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, with Germany proposing the joint defense project.

Urs Loher, Switzerland's head of armaments, signed the agreement, making Switzerland the 15th member of the initiative.

"With its participation in the ESSI, Switzerland is increasing international opportunities for cooperation: ESSI enables better coordination of procurement projects, training and logistical aspects in the area of ground-based air defence," the government said in a statement.

The countries involved aim to develop a defense system against medium-range missiles, although other plans are also under consideration, according to the Swiss government.

However, the move has faced criticism, as it marks a departure from Switzerland's long-standing tradition of neutrality. The government has argued that the initiative is still compatible with its neutral stance because it doesn't impose any obligations, allowing Switzerland to choose its level of involvement in the joint military project.

Additionally, Switzerland reserves the right to withdraw if any member becomes involved in a conflict."
