Thats fine, its the Swiss attempting to maintain their neutrality by not having Swiss-sold armaments involved in the conflict.

No problem...I'm personally much happier that the Poles stepped in. Its a lot cleaner that way.

Plus...you can trust that the Polish tanks are well maintained and in proper working order. No under-maintained tanks due to what are, if we're honest, 'Siesta-based' reasons.

Plus the Ukrainians will get them a lot faster from Poland. You just drive 'em across the border.

I've said it before...right now Poland is Europe's genuine, bona-fide 'Not F***ing Around Crew.'

You want this thing over? Take the shackles off Poland and Putin will be swinging from a Kremlin balcony by Easter.
It is for defense. Ukraine is the front line of Russia's invasion of Europe. Spain is part of Europe. Now, if they could only use them on Spanish soil, that's another thing...
