As Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten reports,speaking on the record for the first time since the November Paris terror attacks, Blattmann told the paper that despite a rise in security incidents over the past two years Switzerland's means of defence were being reduced.
Swiss politicians, of course, responded with disbelief to the army chief and hold his warnings are exaggerated.The situation is growing increasingly risky, Blattman begins.
"The threat of terror is rising, hybrid wars are being fought around the globe; the economic outlook is gloomy and the resulting migration flows of displaced persons and refugees have assumed unforeseen dimensions."
Blattmann: "Social unrest can not be ruled out", the vocabulary in public discourse will "dangerously aggressive."
"The mixture is increasingly unappetizing" Blattmann sees the basis of Swiss prosperity, "has long been once again called into question."
He recalls the situation around the two world wars in the last century andadvises Switzerland, to arm themselves.
The Swiss Armed Forces had held many years ago maneuver, in which the starting point was focused on social unrest in Europe.
Comment: When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. André Blattman advises the Swiss people to 'arm themselves' in preparation for social unrest, but that suggestion alone seems like just more fear-mongering. A collapse certainly looks like it's coming, as the West is more interested in bombing than solving problems. But it's critical to learn the daily habits of prepared people and take a look at prepping a truly healthy diet. After all, without our health, both physical and psychological, we're just as likely to collapse as our society is.
