Switzerland has said ?it will not issue licences for companies to export weapons to the United States due to ?the ongoing war on Iran, citing the country’s longstanding principle of neutrality.

“The export of war materiel to countries involved ?in the international armed conflict with Iran cannot be authorised for the duration of the conflict,” the government said in a statement on Friday.

The idea of Switzerland being historically neutral is one of the bigger lies ever told.

They can sell them to us to prepare for a war but not during one?

Amazing logic

If they were truly neutral, then they wouldn't have changed their behavior. Stopping arms sales to a friendly nation during a conflict is going against that nation.

Kim Jong-un spent a significant portion of his teenage years in Switzerland, where he received part of his education under a pseudonym to conceal his identity as a member of North Korea's ruling family.

I have feeling their usefulness to the US military just started falling fast to other options elsewhere

I’m kind of curious WTF we actually need from the Swiss anyway.

Anyone know or is this just a grandstand soapbox position to further their position as being neutral?

We don't "need" anything from any other countries.

Just have to be willing to use what we have.

As if the US doesn't have stockpiles. This is just more posturing due to the influx of a half million Muslim immigrants bin Switzerland.
