Week 30 en 31 in #wapenhandel25tweets

(Gaarne 'liken' of delen als je het nuttig of interessant vindt.)

Opmerkelijk het artikel over Duitsland en Turkije (combineer dat met 8, de open vergunning van de VK) en het praatje voor de bühne.

Wie herinnert zich nog de commotie over de Canadese levering van pantservoertuigen aan

Saoedi-Arabië? De afgelopen zomermaanden kwam een onderzoek naar buiten waaruit het gelijk van de tegenstanders bleek. Maar als de wapens zijn misbruikt dan komt te laat de bezinning.

Het blijft wat mij betreft dit keer bij een kort overzicht van mijn tweets over twee weken.
