@moonbus saidAre you claiming it was all talk and there is no intention of blackmailing the way GW Bush blackmailed several nations to support the UN resolution to invade Iraq?

How the Bush Administration
Influences Allies in its War on Iraq
By Sarah Anderson, Phyllis Bennis, and John Cavanagh
The US government has a history of blackmailing , bribing and coercing nations to do what the USA wants them to. Telling Switzerland being neutral is unacceptable is a tacit threat there will be consequences. The USA sanctions any nation that does not comply with US foreign policy goals. This is a well known fact.
