Maybe it’s a deleted scene, but I don’t remember the part where Groot sells weapons to both sides of the conflict at a huge profit, and then helps genocidal dictators shield stollen money of their victims from courts of law. I also don’t remember the part where Groot steals a bunch of the money he’s holding on to because he knows the people who gave it to him can’t fight him in a court of law on it. But maybe I was spacing out during those clips?
But man- can you imagine the apology baskets they must get? “Sorry we conducted “military exercises” in your swimming pool by mistake. We thought it was ours. Please enjoy these chocolate cuckoo clocks, wooden shoes, and assorted cheeses. Still friends? -Switzerland.”
There’s some truth to that. As my father once said: “Stand for something or fall for anything.” The misunderstanding is the Swiss do pick sides in any war. They pick the Swiss. Neutrality grants near immunity from the ravages of war, while weapons, banking, and other industries insure they profit. Having chosen no sides they are generally assured that regardless of the victor they will not suffer post war consequences, and their military and defensive capabilities are such that it’s an extreme deterrent to any threat. In the western world the Catholic Church has a strong pull that even the nazis were mindful of, so their alliance with the Vatican is further insurance, and holding the money of all sides of a conflict makes aggression less likely as the fall of switzerland would ravage most countries finances. Switzerland wins. That said- war is complex. There’s usually no “good guy,” so by allying with one side you’re also complicit in their misdeeds as well.
