This is interesting timing:
The German government will not approve a reported deal to sell up to 800 battle tanks to Saudi Arabia, a German Sunday newspaper said, citing government sources.
The sale of the Leopard-2 tanks had been billed as one of the biggest deals for the German armaments industry, Bild reported.
Given how important it is to sell the tanks, would I be assuming too much to think that Poland and other eastern European NATO members will step in to buy these excellent tanks?
And would I be drawing too much of a conclusion to think that the government decision to not push for the sale is in order to keep the tanks in Europe in light of Russia's recent aggression and looming round two with Ukraine?
