To πΊπ¦ supporters: #ParlCH starts discussing re-exports to #armUkraine this week.
Opposing it:
1. #Isolationist CH-first #SwissPeoplesParty #SVP. May respond to threats e.g. on arms industry.
2. #NonViolenceCult|ists in #TheGreensCH #SocialDemocratsCH. May be more amenable to moral arguments.
Both sides invoke some military all-cases "#neutrality" in its pre-UN, Hague 1907 version. Neither is short of shaky reasonings and alternative facts.

#Gandhi: "It's OK to #ArmUkraine "
> I'd rather smilingly and cheerfully march into Rushist fire β and be blown to bits.
> But if you have less faith in my doctrine #satyagraha, then fight. Cowardice is worse than violence.
> I can't coerce you into the path I would choose.
Freely extrapolated from a self-contradictory corpus. Reading N.Finkelstein's https://www.orbooks.com/catalog/gandhi/
So even #nonViolenceCult|ists with a taste for self-sacrifice can agree not to block #armsExports to #Ukraine !
