Belgium vs Switzerland

is.. is this a political statement?

An historical observation. In times of conflict, countries can only remain neutral if their near neighbours know they can defend themselves. Top pic is Belgium- the Nazis just marched through and took over. Bottom pic is Switzerland- no one dared to invade them, because of terrain and their self- defence capability (+the Nazis were using Swiss banks to hide their loot).

so the Swiss where just lucky?

No. They were very well armed and organised for defensive warfare too. Kind of like Scandinavian countries (ask Russia about Finland).
