German government has put forward a proposal to Greece for an arrangement involving exchanging Leopard 1A5/GR tanks for ex-Italian Leopard 1A5 tanks. These latter tanks acquired by the Swiss group RUAG with the intention of selling them to Ukraine are currently held up due to an investigation conducted by Swiss authorities.
If they were just standing there it would be far less frustrating than the current reality, which is them repeatedly tripping over themselves to block others from helping Ukraine with their own money/resources.
Switzerland has been well known for its neutrality, even in wars regardless, regardless of ethics in war they were neutral.
I dont know what your hopes were based on, with all the respect:)
It’s like the only country that is really known for its strictness on its neutrality, despite being in the middle of Europe. Honestly with all the respect, I don’t know honestly why people are surprised for not giving weapons.
They barely have any soldiers even.
It would be more rational to be surprised if the opposite happened.
@awwwyissss@exapsy Switzerland is an amoral parasite that lives off the security of the countries surrounding it and the laundering of stolen money from criminals, criminal organisations & dictators all over the world.
I don’t think I’ll ever look at Switzerland the same way after this.
Truly shameful for them to just stand and watch in this struggle of democracy vs authoritarianism.

They kinda did the same with Nazis, and Nazis were worse, and much much more successful. Now is the time that you hate them?
I was hopeful they had changed. I know about their collaboration with the Nazis and where some of their gold comes from.

They’re neutral because they’re in the middle of Europe.
Maybe it’s time for them to join the other democracies in the world and stand up to authoritarianism.

I don’t disagree. I’m just surprised that people are surprised that Switzerland is neutral. Like, that’s their whole motto
