Swlitzerland always was neutral and did not induluge in modern warfare
There has been violence and war for as long as mankind has existed. It will not change. It is the nature of man. Take a look at the Defense budget. That money is going somewhere (i.e. contractors who make weapons, etc.) and that in turn provides jobs in manufacturing the goods, as well as jobs for people gathering resources needed for the parts. It's the circle of life.
yes, several nations in fact. many nations don't produce thier own weapons, but instead import them from a major maker of arms like the US, China, Russia, Germany, or Israel. So therefore they get no benefits of a war economy.
