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.

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.

@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 disagree. I’m just surprised that people are surprised that Switzerland is neutral. Like, that’s their whole motto

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.
