    Switzerland repeatedly driving home that Swiss weapons are geopolitically worthless and not worth the trouble of adopting. Why buy weapons from someone who might rugpull support for them at any time in order to save their own image?

      Yeah, Poland might as well export whatever Swiss arms they currently have to Ukraine . It isn’t like Poland is going to buy more Swiss arms that can’t be used against against their largest geopolitical threat.

      Seriously though, Swiss arms cannot be used in war. What a dumb situation the Swiss put themselves in.

      Edit: Perun did a great video on this: Global Arms Exports - Winners, losers & trends in the race to rearm. In these times of global arms shortages, arms export business is booming. With the exception of Russian and Swiss arms (though, Russia’s arms are booming in a different way ;p).

    For the first time Switzerland has problems with selling to both sides of a war? O tempora, o mores.

    The Swiss had a great relationship with the Nazis, so this isn’t out of character.

    I’d be courting swiss arms manufacturers to move… Poland wants to be an arms giant.

    Swiss already dropped their neutral stance. Why start now?
