Driving through rural Switzerland. Cows, church steeples, the whole postcard. Then a billboard: "No to war. Yes to neutrality." For a second I wasn't in Switzerland. I was in Georgia. Same slogan. In Georgia "No to war" is on the lips of every pro-Russian politician and every government official, while the war Russia started sits 40 km from the capital. Same simulated war-news videos, same "they want to drag us into war," same voice telling you the only danger is your own government. Let me spell it out: nobody is dragging Switzerland into a war. No one is invading Switzerland. No one asked Switzerland to send troops. The only "war" this billboard is against is the sanctions on the guy who actually started one. That's the trick. It's not a neutrality campaign. It's a Kremlin script with a Swiss cross on it: "war" means "helping the victim," "neutrality" means "helping the aggressor," and "peace" means "shut up and buy Russian gas." I watched this exact script eat Georgia. Now I see it in Germany, France, Switzerland. The KGB doesn't need tanks to win in the free world. It needs a billboard and a voter who thinks the aggressor is somewhere else. Russia is not coming to Switzerland. Russia is already here. It's on the roadside.

🇺🇸 Ich sehe gerade, wie offen in Washington ausgesprochen wird, was lange vorbereitet wurde: Pete Hegseth stellt klar: US-Munition soll primär den USA dienen – nicht der Ukraine. Das ist keine technische Debatte über Bestände. Das ist eine politische Entscheidung über Prioritäten. 👉 Und ja – solche Aussagen muss man ernst nehmen. Sie zeigen, wohin sich die US-Politik bewegt, 👉 …und, die Ukraine könnte Shahed-Drohnen für ein paar Tausend Dollar abfangen – und die USA schiessen weiter Millionenraketen darauf. Das ist keine Fähigkeitslücke. Das ist eine Entscheidung.

BIG: German Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger on Iran War: If it lasts another month, I think we will nearly have no missiles available.

Die Schweiz kann ihre Patriot-Bestellung wohl abschreiben.
Rheinmetall CEO confirms my reporting. All stockpiles in Europe, the Mideast, and US are basically empty. Cannibalization of INDOPACOM Arsenal, which began a little bit last week, will begin in earnest. It will take years, if ever, to recover. Moscow and Beijing know this.

Flaps Failure Twice in 4 Days on Swiss A340. A SWISS Airbus A340-300 (HB-JMA) was forced into a high-speed, high-pitch landing with flaps stuck at 0 on March 10 (LX283 from Johannesburg). Just 4 days later, the SAME aircraft experienced another flap blockage on LX189 from Shanghai: • 209 people onboard • Go-around on RWY 14 • Final landing on RWY 16 at ~169 knots SWISS confirmed the flaps could not be extended. The A340 completed a test flight today after 4 days of maintenance. 📹: dnhug(YouTube)
