Hitler sounded the death knell for the concept of 'neutral' countries. Other than Sweden and Switzerland (the former because he could be certain of it supplying his iron ore needs, the latter to launder his stolen Jewish and plundered nations' gold) he overran all the other 'neutral' countries in his path, stopping short only at Spain, Portugal, and Ireland on the Atlantic coasts. Ukraine is a terrible warning to any country that thinks it can remain 'neutral' in today's world. The Finns and Swedes have realised that. Others need to take careful note, lest they be in Putin's little black book...
