Great, MY taxes at work!

Actually German state pays a third of the total price, they said yesterday. It is idiotic, sure. It is also idiotic to sell these subs at all. I can only imagine it is to ensure the jobs in the dock by securing orders that way. But Israel has asked, no, it has DEMANDED to be given these boats for a long time, so the job-argument probably does not count. If any brimless a$$h..e of politician thinks it must be done because of some war guilt, I would like to ask him why it is my generation's duty to feel guilty for things that were comitted before we (and to a growing degree: our parents) were even born.

But without doubt Israel will continue to excuse Europeans time and again of not supporting it enough. Why be satisfied with what you get - if you can get more.

The whole Uboat-deal:
