Right in the middle of the Arab Spring, Germany plans to supply high-tech weapons to an undemocratic regime in the region. According to information obtained by SPIEGEL, Saudi Arabia is interested in buying up to 200 “Leopard” battle tanks. A sale would end Germany’s traditional restraint on arms sales to the country.
Not me the German Politicians, even her partymates, have such feelings about her. Any way you are right every one needs cash. Germany has to bail out Greek to save the Euro Zone.
Well, she has risen in my own esteem because she has the courage to keep out of the Libya mess. Germany also kept out of Iraq, although I do not know why they had to involve themselves in Afghanistan… (but those decisions I think were before her turn in office).
With a lousy chancellor like Merkel one could not expect such a bold step. Some thing seems fishy in the deal.
I do not agree that we should call Chancellor Merkel ‘lousy’. Weapons sales are weapons sales. And who does not need the cash?
