Hmm, this is an interesting development. I wonder if "regular people" take note of things like this when they are reported on such a mainstream media outlet (CNBC). Or perhaps it seems too "distant", like the protests in Greece and Spain. Of course, one important difference from the protests is that this is an anticipatory move.
With anti-austerity protests across Europe resulting in civil unrest on the streets of Athens and Madrid, the European country famed for its neutrality is taking unusual precautions.
Switzerland launched the military exercise "Stabilo Due" in September to respond to the current instability in Europe and to test the speed at which its army can be dispatched. The country is not a member of the union or among the 17 countries that share the euro.
