Almost 100 Swiss-made Leopard 1 tanks are being stored out in the open in Italy following Switzerland’s refusal to allow their transfer to Ukraine, Swiss public broadcasting organization RSI reported on Aug. 26.
Switzerland enabled Nazis, dictatorships arounf the world, and its been enabling Putin; all while calling itself ‘neutral’.
Yeah, this one is easy. Just put a new stamp on the side of the tanks, send them, and if Switzerland asks just say you don’t know what happened to the tanks and your privacy laws prohibit you from saying anything else about it.
Switzerland is not, and has never been neutral: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_neutrality
If you aid fascists, dictators, money laundering, and genocides, by taking both our and their money then you are no longer neutral lol.

At what point do we tell the Swiss where to shove their “neutrality”
I’m Swiss, this is a way to strict neutrality. But the biggest party in Switzerland suddenly is against weapon exports, now that is about helping Ukraine fight Russia. I’m pretty sure that they have strong ties to Russia or Russian money…
Hopefully the 20-something tanks out of those 100 that were sold in 2019 can get to Ukraine!
No strict neutrality in your country if your compatriot are always taking dictator money. And not returning stolen goods from jews murdered in the holocaust. Your country is not neutral at all and picked a side a long time ago. All swiss are complicit in this.
I can’t imagine Switzerland is going to make many arms sales in the future with the prominence of this policy.
While everyone talks about nobody ever wanting to buy Swiss arms again, Switzerlands arms exports actually increased by 30% in the last year.
Because they can always sell to totally unproblematic countries without territoral or human-rights issues in Africa, Asia or the middle-East to make up the losses in Europe/US.
Never ask a man his salary, a woman her age, or Switzerland how they got so god damn rich
