Netherlands votes to ban weapons exports to Saudi Arabia

[Penguin]

That is the funny side, they are good but they are not in the global market. Why not don't now, they had share holding in the 70's with Kraus wegmann. They have designed with the germans leopard tank 1, and later they didn't do nothing with it, i have no cleu about the current situation.

They have lack on vision.

We are, as you can see above in the Sipri listings. Also much to Turkey. However, The reality is that small countries/companies (NL is just 17 million people: there are larger cities!) no longer survive in the industry. A country like Israel is atypical, due to its strategic situation and massive support by the US. So, with a few exceptions, we've become part of the supply chain of larger firms, or servce niches as part of conglomerates. In sum, we realized that developing all weapons and systems at home was not going to be feasible anymore and put our money, time and effort elsewhere. That is vision, just maybe not what you would look for in terms of preferred content.

Saudi Arabia already imposed sanction on this European country in 2014,
We really don't give a damn about these racists ...the only thing I'll miss is their cows' milks.

Dutch rushing envoy to KSA over anti-Islam spat

"
The Dutch government is sending an envoy to Riyadh this week for high-level talks after the Kingdom slapped indirect sanctions on the European country because a far-right Dutch politician had insulted Islam and Saudi Arabia.
Maurice Pourchez, first secretary for economic and cultural affairs at the Netherlands Embassy in Riyadh, said that Dutch Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans had told the country’s official television outlet that he would send the executive director for political affairs to the Kingdom.
“Timmermans has also expressed his desire to visit Saudi Arabia shortly to strengthen relations,” the official said.
Pourchez emphasized the growing economic relations between the two countries. Trade between Saudi Arabia and the Netherlands stands at 6 billion euros (about SR31 billion) with Saudi exports to the country reaching nearly SR20 billion.
“We have not received any official information about Saudi Arabia’s decision to slash trade ties,” Pourchez said, adding that his country would launch all-out efforts to improve relations. “The incident took place about four months ago,” the official said about lawmaker Geert Wilders who printed stickers insulting the Saudi flag and Islam."

Saudis are probably laughing at Netherlands.

Europeans need Saudis. Without Arabs, irrelevant Europeans will become even more irrelevant. UK, France are totally indebted countries.

Saudis give them extra cash under the disguise of weapons-trade---and Saudis keep em shut while they do as they please in their countries (Funding Mosques, buying businesses, partying, using western women as disposables, investments, promoting fundamentalist interpretations of Islam in West, funding university programs of Islamic studies for next generation of Westerners and so on).

Funny thing is, Europeans like @mike2000 is back can barely do anything about it other than going to pegida/EDL marches....

GCC's sovereign wealth funds and their investments go into trillions---lots of them in Europe. Pure profits and influence. Didn't UK's prime-minister vowed to become capital of Islamic Finance?

British elites and Saudis are happy. Normal Europeans are getting f*cked with taxation, globalizaton, immigration, change of local culture, and what not.
