Merkel just announced that Germany shouldnt continue exporting weapons to KSA until the exact circumstances of Kashoggis death are figured out (exact quote: export cant take place in the situation we are currently in...). KSA ist Germanys second biggest customer for weapon exports.
Trump said in an interview (i watched earlier this week) something to the effect that KSA is buying weapons from the USA for ca. 110bio$, and thats a lot. He basically argues like a drug lord: If they dont buy weapons form us, theyll buy from russia or China.![]()
Thats the difference.
But Merkel did not increase collaboration and support to Saudi Arabia to the degree of rejecting the "Turkish investigations", "Saudi official statements' contradiction" and the "recording of the incident on tape".
Above all, the German weapons supplied to Saudi Arabia don't include a sophisticated system like Patriot, AWACS sale, UAVs sales, Apachi Choppers' sales... what's next?
Without U.S weapons; Sauds would fall today. I can accept a light armors deal or a "training" deal , But I will never accept decades of such a huge magnitude of support, that involves training and also involves raw weaponry.
