For instance: Switzerland has maintained permanent political neutrality since 1815 as they refuse to join military alliances (not a member of NATO), avoid participating in foreign wars and treating warring parties equally under international law. Even though Switzerland has their own military, they rarely get deployed outside their borders (not invading a ME country to commit war crimes) & definitely don’t have over 800 military bases worldwide.
Switzerland has a weak central government and a heavily influential financial sector. They bring the Euros in and keep the Migrants out.
Idk if I’d call that “neutral” so much as “predatory” or “parasitic”. But it’s a radically different economic model than, say, France with a large labor-heavy energy-hungry agricultural sector or Germany with a large labor-heavy energy-hungry industrial sector. The economic models, and the subsequent need for foreign inputs (particularly fossil fuels and cheap human professionals) to make them work has given local governments very different geopolitical agendas.
Who do you think does the cleaning in Switzerland?
Migrants.
