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!

Nah, Switzerland would never have ties to fascist money, especially not in a way that would heavily influence foreign policy

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.
