Switzerland will allow the sale of weapons to countries embroiled in conflict, in a move favourable to its defence industry. The country insists such exports are compatible with neutrality.

    It looks like a list of countries that are so comfortably safe, secure and stable (well… maybe not the US) that they won’t have a need for weapons anytime soon anyway. Excluding the Baltics for example only strengthens this suspicion.

      The Swiss arms industry drastically shrunk while the world scrambles for arms. This strikes me as a PR move to stem the bleeding while changing nothing of substance.
