the Switzerland is finally starting to question its historical neutrality and see that it no longer needs it it's starting to recognize that it's surrounded on all sides by NATO and NATO will never allow a hostile force to push through their territory in an effort to conquer Switzerland so Switzerland doesn't need its neutrality to secure its own borders anymore NATO will already do that for it Switzerland also recognizing that it's neutrality is more often than not abused by authoritarian regimes to gain access to the wider Western world and they're hoping to clamp down on that and slowly they are starting to do so as they have participated in international economic penalties on the Russians for their misbehavior in Ukraine

Post WW2 Germany like Japan maintained a strict pacifism policy as a penance for the sufferings from the war and it was an okay policy it made ethical and historical sense for the time but it's now been over 80 years that policy is no longer needed even Switzerland is also questioning its historical neutrality because Switzerland now no longer needs neutrality as it's surrounded on all sides by NATO members and those NATO members will never allow a hostile foreign military to push through their own territories in an effort to conquer Switzerland so Switzerland doesn't even need its own military neutrality anymore and it is attempting to align itself more with the West and NATO

They didn't do as much as the US though, it took them a while to finally start sending weapons and the armaments for those weapons Instead Germany was sending pillows and helmets to the Ukrainians

@PaulVerhoeven2 you are correct yet it must be said there's many spectrums of pacifism Japan obviously felt they needed more penance than most because they suffered those two nuclear explosions so Japan never wanted fully capable military industrial complex to sell its weapons around the world and even to this day despite Japan's attempts at rearming and rewriting it's constitution for the creation of a proper military, the industrial complex behind that same Japanese military is relatively small and it has no real means of trying to further improve itself because it legally only has one customer, and that is the Japanese government The Germans found themselves split in half in following WW2 with that same half in the east literally pointing guns in their faces So I'm not surprised that Germany at the time despite their policy of pacifism and foreign non-intervention still used their capital and engineering prowess to help other nations in military armament and development. With such companies as Krupp and HK
