The EU will retaliate this time around and impose ruinous costs on Switzerland if it chooses to go through with this.

Unlike the Brits, the Swiss have absolutely no leg to stand on here. If EU closes the borders, the Swiss will literally die of hunger.

"Don't leave us or we'll kill you" isn't the pro-EU argument you seem to think it is.

That seems like an unreasonable interpretation of what I said, which was just pointing out the futility of the Swiss position. EU can impose its will at essentially zero cost no matter what the Swiss do.
