An entire country whose prosperity is built on helping druglords, arms traffickers, warmongerers, corrupt politicians and dictators stash their illicit money in its banking system. We are all accomplices to its "neutrality" though. The EU should have kicked the Swiss ass a long time ago.
In the words of famous writer and holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel:
We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.

Makes sense, Switzerland wouldn’t want to accidentally do the right thing.

Swiss "neutrality" strikes again. Funny how it only ever happens to be to the benefit of whoever sends money their way.
