Re: Switzerland
Would be a credible argument if they hadn't been in collusion with the Axis powers (our enemy at the time).
From Switzerland's website:

The reason Germany spared its tiny neighbor to the south was because Switzerland proved much more useful as an independent state than as a satellite. The Swiss made many useful weapon components (aluminium for the Luftwaffe, spark plugs for jeeps taken from the Russians, timing devices for bombs, among other things), and thus their factories were not bombed every night. The Swiss National bank bought gold from the Reichsbank, the Reichsbank was given Swiss francs in exchange, and used them to buy cobalt, nickel and tungsten from the other “neutral” countries.

The Swiss had to deal with many fallouts after the war. The concept of "Swiss neutrality" is a misnomer.
What if the quarrel you have is with someone that has no country? How do you then defend yourself?
