I'm sorry, my English is bad. I don't understand what you are trying to tell me
I mean we have two neighbors to the south but neither Austria nor Switzerland are warmongering tribes last time I've checked so π€·ββοΈ
Edit: Or are we the warmongering tribe and should therefore supply Switzerland with weapons?
As I just learned, I belong to a warmongering tribe and you know the saying: if you are a hammer, everything is a nail. So yes, the Swiss needs weapons because they solve every problem
Sorry - I was referring to Ukraine - thatβs probably more southeast.
I do believe that ww1 and ww2 showed your warmongering side - and sending weapons into Israel so they can bomb kids are not much more honourable
Germany is the second largest contributor of military aid to Ukraine. There are other "wamongering tribes" that seem to send much less.

Very good and smart of them. I may not have paid enough attention- all Iβve seen is that they donβt want to provoke Putin with long range weapons.
Also it would be nice to see those numbers compared to gdp
