<div>
<p>Combining the staggering delusion of a Napoleonic complex with the moral consistency of Swiss cheese — mostly holes — the tiny Alpine nation of Switzerland <span class="citation-97"><a href="https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/various/federal-council-restricts-arms-exports-to-the-usa-due-to-iran-war/91133406?utm_source=multiple&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_campaign=news_en&amp;utm_content=o&amp;utm_term=wpblock_highlighted-compact-news-carousel">announced</a> it is officially restricting certain arms exports to the United States. </span></p>
<p>Why? Because the United States is currently engaged in a conflict with Iran — a regime known for executing dissidents — and the Swiss, in their infinite, mountain-air-induced wisdom, have decided that being &#8220;neutral&#8221; means treating the arsonist and the fireman as equals.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>The hilarity of a country with a population smaller than New York City trying to &#8220;discipline&#8221; the world’s lone superpower via a sudden export cutoff on small-arms parts and fighter-jet components is peak 2026.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="citation-96">The Swiss Federal Council, presumably taking a break from counting other people’s money, declared that under their &#8220;War Materiel Act,&#8221; it simply cannot authorize exports to countries involved in &#8220;international armed conflict.&#8221;</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Let’s look at the &#8220;storied&#8221; history of Swiss neutrality. This is the same nation that, during World War II, acted as the primary laundromat for the Third Reich. While the rest of Europe was being reduced to rubble, the Swiss National Bank was <a href="https://www.uek.ch/en/publikationen1997-2000/gold-ez.htm">busy</a> processing roughly 79% of all gold shipments sent abroad by the Nazi Reichsbank. Switzerland didn’t just take the gold; it took the &#8220;victim gold&#8221; — precious metals literally pried from the hands and teeth of those being liquidated by the Nazis.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p data-path-to-node="5">Back then, the Swiss argued that accepting stolen Nazi gold was a &#8220;neutral&#8221; act that prevented an invasion. Today, they claim that<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i data-path-to-node="5" data-index-in-node="131">denying</i><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>parts to American F-35s is a &#8220;neutral&#8221; act to promote peace. It seems Swiss neutrality always manages to find a way to inconvenience the side fighting the totalitarians.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p id="p-rc_1a1d7d7933e17b4c-67" data-path-to-node="6">The practical impact of this is a comedy of errors.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="citation-95">Switzerland is already <a href="https://www.bluewin.ch/en/news/switzerland/federal-council-backpedals-again-on-f-35-fighter-jets-3129280.html">scaling back</a> its F-35 order from 36 to 30 jets because it can’t manage its budget, and now it&#8217;s told the Americans — who actually build the planes — that they are restricting components tied to U.S. defense systems, including F-35-related parts.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>It’s like a man refusing to sell lug nuts to the guy who built his car while complaining that the car is taking too long to deliver.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span class="citation-94">But don’t worry, the Swiss &#8220;experts&#8221; will regularly review existing licenses to ensure they have no relevance to the war against Iran.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Because if there’s one thing the Swiss are good at, it’s regularly reviewing things until the bodies are buried and the checks have cleared.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>From laundering Nazi loot to lecturing Washington on &#8220;war materiel,&#8221; Switzerland remains the world leader in one specific export: unearned moral superiority. They might be a tiny power, but their capacity for historical amnesia is truly world-class.</p>
