Hmm, did Satchel extract Bucky’s ’nip money? This could get ugly.

The whole “Swiss pacifist” thing is a myth. Nearly all men between the ages of 20 and 40 are required to serve there.

There is a difference between (armed) neutrality and pacifism. The first allows you to make deals with both sides of a conflict while keeping the outside appearance of being a very decent country. Not sure what the second can do for a nation, I’m not aware of a truly pacifistic nation.

In medieval times, Switzerland’s main economic resource were mercenaries. The fierce, tough, wild alpine warriors were extremely popular among European warlords. In most of the great battles of that time, the Swiss would form the front lines on both sides. The last remnant of that is the Pope’s personal guard, which to this date is staffed entirely by Swiss.

Satchel fights like a drowsy Swiss toddler, takes Bucky’s money.

What does that say about Bucky?

Love that Satchel got Bucky.

I love it when Satchel can put one over on Bucky.

10 points for Satchel ! Pawed that green he did ;-)

Seems like (I don’t have stats) that countries with Universal Drafts don’t go for this military adventurism we seem to be constantly doing. Get the Senators’ kids in uniform and they’ll think twice, maybe.

Actually accurate- Try to make peace and take the money (but keep it safe)

Don’t worry Buck. Your money’s in a nice Swiss bank.

good job Satchell

Apparently, Bucky has gotten a Vasa-ectomy… ✂️

The rest of Europe respects Swiss neutrality, not because the Swiss are pacifists, but because the cost of fighting them is not worth the possible gains. Switzerland maintains an effectively armed neutrality and a reputation for fierce, effective, warfare against anyone foolish enough to mess with them.

Oooo, the long con. Gotcha!

Poor Bucky. Satch has probably swallowed your money. Good luck getting it back.

You go, Satchel! Great to see him pull one over on Bucky for once …

Hahahahahahaha!
