I am going to outline a real situaitoin that occured during WW II. I

would
like to hear opinions and solutions as to how the situation should be

handled.
I will give the real solutuion that was imposed during the war after a

week or
so when many opinions have been offered.

First off, the neutrality of the country should be questioned diplomatically
and openly if it is knowingly supplying war equipment to a hostile
government on either side. If the country refuses to stop the sales then
maybe it could be persuaded to re-tool to produce equipment for the
"friendly" powers, sanctions be put in place, supply lines targetted
exitting the country, or war declared as a last resort. Either way,
neutrality is forfeit if production continues.

You don't have to go too far to see this situation being played out all over
the world. Western governments (and the former USSR) routinely supply
weapons or components to countries engaged in hostilities with which they
themselves are not.
