“If we receive the order to take part in a mission, we would draw up a training concept to train our soldiers and prepare them for deployment. Then we would start recruiting and train the members of the armed forces,” Süssli continued to SonntagsBlick. The use of weapons would only be permitted in a self-defence situation. “The mandate is decided by the government and parliament,” he added.

A week after first deployment: Oops, looks like we're in a war now because we had to use weapons in self defense because Putin is a fuckhole.

Like who the fuck do they think they're kidding about how this would go?
