Opmerkelijk is niet dat
het corruptie in de wapeninbdustrie schandaal in Zuid-Korea ook deze
week weer een slachtoffer opleverde. Of dat Airbus - met de hoofdvestiging in Nederland - wederom niet brandschoon lijkt (laten we het voorzichtig stellen).
Opmerkelijk is nog steeds –
ook al weet iedereen die dit wil weten dat inmiddels – dat
Duitsland Israël een onderzeeër levert die nucleair bewapend
kan worden. Een niet kernwapenstaat werkt mee aan de proliferatie van een niet NPT-lid. Even opmerkelijk is de ranzige lucht van corruptie die
rond de marineleveringen van Duisland aan Israël is komen te hangen.
Ook de Duitse degelijkheid is blijkbaar niet opgewassen tegen de veel
voorkomende malafide praktijken in de wereld van de wapenhandel.
