I've never been anti-neutrality. But while war rages at NATO's borders, I cannot condone the Swiss stance- which is interfering with efforts by NATO countries to militarily aid Ukraine.
I'm almost sure I'll regret posting anything political. But I'd be interested in "neutrality" comments from non-U.S. citizens- including Swiss.
Swiss neutrality... controversial...

I'd like to reply, but I'll restrain. Just look at swiss financial history since 1945.

Personally, I would be quite grateful if Putin would send 2 dozen cruise missles, all marked, 'From Russia with love', into the packed meeting hall in Davos right now. To end the WEF organization would be a blessing. I just hope our 'Beat' is no where near when this fantasy happens.

( I do stay far enough if they do find the target as prezisely as the US "Hymars" rockets,-- but if it is " russien precision" , -- I guess my BSA's live in high danger....

Surprise- Swiss government reversed their stand, to allow re-export of Swiss military goods (mainly ammunition) by third-party countries to Ukraine, at least through 2025.

yes, - this is offering now to sell amunion also to the russian army as well and making good business to both sides!
( for the swiss facturies it is just not allowed to sell any War Goods to countris they stay in War to a other. As Mr Putin says the Ukraine War is not a War, it is just a „ especial Effort „ - just the stupid Ukrainians are calling it a „ War „ — everithing will be gooood now !!!
