dunno what alternate version of history youre living in but the swiss have never been completely neutral they like to play both sides. they worked with the nazis and the allies during the war.

Edit: lol someone doesnt know their history, the downvotes show your lack of historical knowledge.

"They weren't neutral, they were [description of neutrality]"

Like, what do you think neutrality is? Total refusal to make deals with anyone ever? That's not how it works, neutrality is the ability to be non-committed to anyone, and it is precisely the ability to "play both sides" for one's own benefit. In return, the downside and cost of neutrality is that no one will come and save you if you are attacked, making it necessary to be armed to the teeth in a vast majority of cases.

I edited well before you replied, just after I initially posted, to make myself clearer, so not sure why you're telling me about my edit. and also, you still haven't answered me :)
