The United States warned that it was launching a legal review of a gas deal signed earlier this week between Iran and Switzerland to see whether it violates terms of US sanctions, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported. "We don't think that now is the time for people to be investing in Iran, not only in its petroleum or natural gas area, but in any sector of its economy," said State Department spokesman Tom Casey.

@ShanusMaximus Banking with the Nazi government did not violate Switzerlands Neutrality.

Prove he didn't.
If you cite pop mech or the 911 investigation as proof, prepare to be laughed at.

lol, the swiss have a hard on for selling gas to anti-semites. Hey everyone be on the look out for cash flow fluxes in swiss bank accounts.

Now as this article doesn't mention recently UN, not US sanctions were placed on Iran. The Swiss as UN members are supposed to comply with these sanctions.

Thanks for the answer Lib! So is it U.N. law they are breaking not U.S.
It didn't make sense to me why our laws would have any bearing on sanctions that another country does or does not have.
However if you are part of the U.N.... game - set- match.

LOL invasion plans since WW2..

i'm sorry but i dont think the "Anti-zepplin" cannons are going to cut it here.

Blowing up major roads? Would that stop an abrams? We have bridge layer vehicles. besides, who needs roads when you have the most advanced Air Force on the planet?

Invading switzerland would be a military cakewalk if ever a need rose.

But yeah this article is teh boolshit
(i'm trying to create new internet phrases).

F/A-18C's and F-5II's will be ok, remember the airspace is rather small so range of effectiveness in regards to fighters is not as important.

Almost all households are armed with Steyr AUG's.

They also have the Leopard 2A4 to deal with the Abrams.

ADATS which performs low altitude SAM cover and anti-tank function, range 10km.

Not that easy...
