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.
