    Exclamation Swiss army braces itself for trouble in Europe

    I am sorry but this article is in German:

    Schweizer Armee bereitet sich auf Unruhen in Europa vor

    Die Schweiz rechnet wegen der Euro-Krise mit gewalttätigen Unruhen in Europa und will daher die Verteidigung an den Landesgrenzen verstärken. Bei Manövern wird bereits für den Ernstfall von Unruhen, Demonstrationen und Flüchtlingsströmen geübt.

    Die Schweizer Armee erwartet eine dramatische Eskalation der Lage in EU-Krisenstaaten mit Auswirkungen auf die Sicherheit der Schweiz. Dies berichtet die Schweizer Zeitung Sonntag. Der Grund: Wegen der vielfachen Sparmaßnahmen werden die Armeen in den südeuropäischen Euro-Staaten geschwächt. Dadurch bleibe die Modernisierung der Nachbararmeen auf der Strecke. Dadurch wären die Armeen geschwächt, die Staaten Europas werden erpressbar. Der schweizerische Verteidigungsminister Ueli Maurer sagte dem Sonntag zufolge auf einer Tagung: „Ich schließe nicht aus, dass wir in den nächsten Jahren die Armee brauchen.“

    Das Verteidigungsdepartement VBS teilt Maurers Ansichten. Die Euro-Krise verschärfe das Gewaltpotenzial. In Spanien, Griechenland und Italien drohen Massenarbeitslosigkeit und die Radikalisierung der Bevölkerung. Damit wird Bezug genommen zu Warnungen des griechischen Premierministers Antonis Samaras (mehr hier).

    Weil die Schweiz ein Übergreifen möglicher Unruhen auf ihr Gebiet fürchtet, wird aufgerüstet: 100.000 Soldaten, 5 Milliarden Militärbudget und der Kampfjet Gripen sind zur Verteidigung der Eidgenossen eingeplant. Gegen potentielle Unruhen, Demonstrationen und Flüchtlingsströmen aus den umliegenden europäischen Nachbarländern, haben die 2000 höchsten Offiziere mit dem Manöver „Stabilo Due“ schon einmal vorgesorgt. So plant Armeechef André Blattmann mit vier Militärpolizei-Bataillonen und insgesamt 1600 Mann die vier Landesteile an den Grenzen abzusichern.

    That's rather significant.

    I thought so too. I wonder whether this will appear in English-language newspapers (or in the Dutch press) as well. Because if this is true then the Swiss know something we don't: it's going to be bloody mayhem.

    Considering that they are one of the world's biggest deposit safes I'd reckon they know what they are doing.

    Aye. What do you think ? Should we go to the Swiss embassy and ask for political asylum ?

    Sounds good, but we are not eligible.

    By the way along the line of the article Bulgaria just doubled its capacity to take in refugees and asylum seekers. If things in the MENA region continue to get shitier coupled with our own internal EU problems a refugee crisis and general increase in migration is not that inconceivable. Today I read in our local media that the UK is contemplating a proposal to change the rules on free movement of people in the EU. Their desire is to re-introduce visas for citizens of some of the EU memberstates.

    History tells us. When the people are poor & desperate. Mainstream parties get binned & the far left, far right become more popular.

    Look at Greece with the Far right & with Spain, Catalonia debt bailout.
