The submarine thing I recall different. They had ordered 4 Type-214 and ordered for the modernisation of 3 old ones they already have. They never payed the modernisaton program, and the bill for the 4 new boats also is open, so the boats got withheld by Germany, while now German government was pushed by the defence lobby to use the bailout money for paying out Greek debts to German contractors first. The Greek then cancelled the modernisation of the old boats, and said they insist on the 4 German new boats being delivered, and now they want additionally 2 new 214s: six new boats they now want.

The financing should be done by germany almost alone, this they have copied from the Israelis demanding German systems for free, too (Israelis usually pay less than 20% of the prices in the treaties, the rest is payed by the German taxpayer: German taxpayers that way directly pay for Israeli defence. I wonder why they have not started to tax us directly).

The ridiculous argument is that when German defence industries produce them weapons for free (means: most of the money is financed by German extra fonds to boost the mutual friendship) and get payed by Germany, this German money investement would save German jobs. In other words: Germany should produce for free, should expect no payment, while German taxpayers pay for working for free.

Think of it. It really comes down to this simple principle. Politicians play ball with this in order to win elections by not loosing jobs.

Hilarious, absurd, rotten economy!
