What the hell is the point of buying arms from a country if they cannot be used when needed? I hope every NATO country takes note of this and cuts Switzerland out of their arms dealer list.
Addendum: Re-export agreements are standard, but what isn't standard is to deny them in situations like this. It's clear Switzerland doesn't give a shit about the countries around them.
That law actually came into existence because Swiss weapons were in lots of civil wars and conflicts. I guess now it is too strict.
On the other hand I will be happy if the Swiss arms industry dies, there are better ways to earn money.
I'm just sad that it is happening on the backs of the Ukrainians...
@BombOmOm @lesserprophet As Switzerland is so "neutral" towards Ukraine they should sell their arms exclusively to themselves.
