"From the Swiss perspective: yes. Unlike Austria, Switzerland did not massively dismantle its military structures after the Cold War. Of course, there are deficits here too, but the starting position is better. In Austria, people are hoping for NATO, as former Chancellor Nehammer said: "We know that NATO will defend us." I rarely hear this free-rider mentality from Switzerland. Therefore: armed neutrality remains sensible – especially because Switzerland does not have Russia right on its doorstep like Finland, for example."
