Swiss Parliament Votes To Block Indirect Arms Exports To Ukraine

Comes after The Netherlands wanted to buy dozens of Leopard 1 Tanks to then give them to Ukraine, they'd have to have been purchased from a Swiss company so Switzerland had to give permission.

Cabinet Plans to Buy Dozens of Leopard Tanks for Ukraine

Spineless. If Switzerland wants to destroy their defence industry though then that's on them, no country after this should want any part of Switzerland's military industry and I hope it backfires, defence companies should leave Switzerland and other countries should stop buying from Switzerland. I hope Switzerland enjoys the death of their arms industry.

Denying tools for self defence isn't being neutral, it's being a coward and aiding the aggressor. You're either against genocide or you aren't, there is no sitting on the fence, there is no neutrality, you don't have a moral high ground by sticking your head in the sand and ignoring things. Even worse that Switzerland is surrounded by very powerful allies, it's complete cowardice.
