Switzerland to Deploy 5,000 Troops to Provide Security at Davos Forum
ZURICH (Sputnik) - Up to 5,000 Swiss military personnel will be deployed to provide logistics and security for participants at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos next week, the Swiss government said on Monday.
They are bringing in over 5,000 military to "protect" Davos... for some reason.
Funny how it never seemed to need "protecting" like that before.
Husband just said he didn’t know Switzerland had 5000 troops!
It was always protected like that. Road blocks. Checkpoints. They've always existed for these meetings. Massively protected. We have never been able to just waltz in.
5,000 troops had never been deployed to Davos like this.
Yes it was protected and it was very effective.
So the question is, why now ?
